Mani Subramanian 1917 - 2012

Let the memory of Mani be with us forever
  • 95 years old
  • Born on March 18, 1917 in India.
  • Passed away on June 4, 2012 in Pennsylvania, United States.

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Mani Subramanian, 95, born on March 18, 1917 and passed away on June 4, 2012. We will remember him forever.  Please look at mani90.org for more information.

SUBRAMANIAN, Mani, 95, passed away peacefully at 12:10pm EDT on Monday, June 4 2012 after a brief illness.  Born in 1917 in Arni, India, Mani Subramanian retired as a Judge.  He emigrated to the USA in 1985 to live with his sons.  Mani is survived by his five sons C.S. Murthi, C.S. Murali, Chetan S. Sankar, C.S. Ramesh, C.S. (Ram) Mohan, five daughters-in-law, seven grandchildren, his sister Lakshmi, and a host of relatives.

Mani lived a grand life, and will be greatly missed.  A diplomat even amongst his family, he loved to read and go for a regular walk, rain or snow.  He was the patriarch of a large and loving family which he guided with wisdom, experience, patience and love.  Born at a time of no electricity, he kept in regular touch with a wide worldwide network via email.

His love of life, great curiosity and unbounded enthusiasm was combined with an infectious, positive and can-do approach.  Launching himself fully into all endeavors, he rarely let “no” stop him.  In his retired years, he traveled widely around the world, from Africa to Europe to South America, enjoying and exploring with joy and wonder.

A Memorial Service was conducted on Thursday June 7th at 9am at Fluehr Funeral Home, 864 Bristol Pike, Bensalem, Pa (215-639-3130).  In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (www.lls.org) or Reading Is Fundamental (http://is.gd/SQBeL6 or rif.org).  An online guest book is maintained at http://www.mani-subramanian.forevermissed.com.

As I have recovered from a difficult period in my life, I am always reminded of dad in a few things he did: (a) We inherit our genes from our parents and carry part of them with us, (b) I try to emulate dad's patience and kindness - they defined him uniquely as he grew older; we only have fond memories of him in his later years, and (c) he knew how to live, love, give, and take care of himself. The older I grow, the more I respect my dad for his unique and amazing qualities.

It is hard to recover from the loss of a person I have known and lived with for many decades. However, the positive outlook on life my father left will remain forever!!

Here is the day when both your mourning and joy can deepen and quiet your hearts because you know now that the many love and embraces you shared with your dad, uncle, grandpa .. were simply incarnations of the eternal embraces of the Devine himself. I mourn, rejoice and celebrate his life with each of you. Love, Jay.

For the brief time I was able to care for him, he was a true delight - his smile was wonderful and peaceful and it had a way of making you feel just as peaceful. We all fell in love with him and your family.. he is one that will definitely stay with me and I will smile every time I think of him.
Posted by Sujatha Sriram on June 5, 2012
Appa, you are with me in my heart and soul and what i share with you is unexplainable with the so called words which we all think is the best way to explain.. Seeing you so helpless and in pain was so difficult. I know you fought . I am gifted to be your right eye. I am glad and happy you heard me.Will hold on to that sparkle in your eyes.

All in our family were blessed to have mama as an affectionate elder relative and friend to take part in key family events and get-togethers. His attitude towards life and ability to adjust to changes played a major role in his leading a happy life upto the end. May we all remember him most for that legacy. - Chami

His energy and spirit was truly inspiring. My fondest memory was hiking up High Point State Monument (when he was 92) with him. He was always game for an adventure. Halfway up Ro got a little scared climbing up the spiral stairs in the tower (he was seven). Uncle gently encouraged him saying if he could do it in his 90's surely he could do it, and he did..Thank you for the memories. RIP
