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.
(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.
Sai Ram.

Your Presence
I happen to get a chance to attend shirdi baba bhajan this thursday and when the 1 hr songs ended , my friend did the arti pooja and i close my eyes to be one in that moment and to my suprise my eyes became wet and tears were rolling down and deep pangness swept me. i didnt know the reason then but just few sec after that when i opened my eyes, i saw appa's twinkling eyes in the picture of baba which was kept on the table.. I felt your presence appa and there i saw you consoling me saying " hey suj, iam here with you , so kanna thodicho, smile now ".
i could immediately see myself listening to your command and i started feeling warm and good and felt you embracing me and promising that you would remain in me for ever always and i shouldnt miss your absence... Yes appa. i do feel you permeating around me and being with me yet i cant stop those tears trickling down my eyes when i see your picture and those eyes of yours which i see in baba everyday ..
May you be blessed with all the goodness and your soul enrich the lives of many .. Thanks for being in my heart mind and soul and thanks for having such association with me.
I also take this moment to thank MOHAN to have introduced appa to me and helping me to develop that bond which i carry it with me in special way .. My heartfelt condolences to you and know he is with us.
your right eye- Suj
Message from S. Balakrishnan
Dear Sankar,
I am back from my trip to Coimbatore for a trail test of machines and on return I could see your mail.
I really cherish my association with you and your parental family since we lived in close neighbourhood
at Trichy, Puthur officer's colony. I really remember your family group for the fact that it can be earmarked
for the rollmodel of Indian joint family system. I am happy that your father had been your guide spirit all
along till yesterday and continuing his blessings into the future of you and your family. I still remember our
visit to your father office after BE graduation for getting his character certificate at the sub-magistrate
court / Thennur. I am sending the attachment of his character certificate to me to cherish his long family,
friendy association.
May I pray his soul to rest in peace. In fact I wanted to meet all of you atleast once at your place but could not
make it.
Convey my heartfelt condollences to everyone of your family members.
With kind regards,
Balakrishnan Swaminathan. and
Shanthi Balakrishnan
