Krishna AIYAR Obituary

Thank you all our very dear friends and family for your heartfelt condolences. Life will never be the same that Kris/Chandra has gone but that's the challenge we face when we live.
As for Kris/Chandran he faced his challenges with failing health, pain and agony with so much courage, fortitude and grace that they never robbed him of his great qualities of compassion, consideration and love. As much as he was ready for death to come to him, he never stopped living and being his true self.
We thank each of you for your lovely and warm messages. Ganga

So sorry Ganga, it should have read, and Samuel
regards Trish

' Another great Kauri in our forest has been felled '.
With love and our kindest regards

Thanks to technology I could watch the funeral service and bid good bye to my dearChandranna. Thanks Ganga manni Uday for sharing the link.

Dear Ganga Manni,
Please accept our hearfelt condolences.
We are lost for words to console you as we share your pain.
Chandranna was a gentle soul with so much affection, love, kindness and generosity with which he touched all of us and has left us with wonderful memories.

Our sympathies to Udai and the grand children who will undoubtedly miss their adoring grandpa.

Chère famille si proche dans mon cur,
Je n'oublierai jamais l'émotion ressentie lors de ma rencontre avec Krishna chez Christine à Genêts. Krishna était un homme bon et intègre. Je sais avec quel amour Ganga et Krishna ont entouré Arjun. Je me sens proche de vous tous dans l'épreuve et je vous serre dans mes bras Ganga, Paul, Stella, Samuel et toi Udai. C'est avec recueillement que je pense à Krishna. Gabriel Elbaz.

Been listening all week to "Lead Kindly Light" a hymn I will always associate with Chandra Chithappa. Reminiscing about cricket with chithappa, leg-pulling with chithappa, card games with chithappa - never a dull moment and hours and hours of joy with chithappa....
You are always in my thoughts.

Dear Ganga Mami, Uday and Family,
Our Heartfelt Condolences to all of you. May the Almighty give you all the courage to tide over this difficult period. May His soul rest in eternal peace.. Girija, Anu, Jai Venkat and family.

My sincerest condolences to the Aiyar Family. May you find comfort (Psalms 83:18) in the true God at this difficult time.

Thank you for your continued messages of sympathy and support via telephone, email, skype and this site, in addition to your fond memories and amusing moments with dad. Love to you all! Udai (on behalf of mum)

Namaste Ganga Mami,

Simply and deeply saddened to know from Appaji that Chandra Mama passed away.

For me he will always be the Udaipur Mama who unknowingly' taught me (then a boy of ~10 years) to enjoy and cherish the simple joys of Life plus the importance of humility and a sense of humour!

We join you and all his many friends and relatives in prayer.

Punam & Shridhar

Dear Ganga, Uday and all in the family,
Words are inadequate to express one's feelings and memories on dear Chandra.
He has been so loving, lovable and loved by all, that he shall ever be missed, though etched in our heart.

My earliest memory goes to 1954, when Chandra, the cricketer, took me around Science College in Nagpur.Thereafter, we had a roaring time of adventure in Pachmarhi.Later in Udaipur and of course in Opotiki...

Alas, he is no more with us, but yet much within us,...

May His soul rest in eternal peace.
May You All be bestowed with the strength to help sustain this
irreparable loss....Amen !

Heart felt condolences to Ganga and Uday. gouri and ramakrishnan- coimbatore

Dear Chandran Athimbiar and Chithappa

Right from the time I met you I have always wondered how a person can be so simple. You were always neatly dressed and looked fresh,very meticulous in whatever you do. I remember you made Gulabjamun in Chennai during your visit which was perfect as any of your actions.
Your love for the traditional Test match cricket and other major sports were awesome.

Bhaskaran

Chandran Chithappa, We love you and will miss you. You have always guided me in times of need. You were always neatly dressed and combed and would be well before time at any place including for a visit to barber shop. You have been so systematic which I have always admired.Naughty smile and a man of few words.

dear Ganga Manni and Udai,
Very saddened by the passing away of dear Chandra Anna. He will always be in our hearts.

Dear Ganga Manni, Udai,
Our heartfelt condolences to you. Chandra anna was always a special person in our lives and will remain in our memory always. May God give you strength to bear this terrible loss.

We have very fond memories of our dear Chandran Chithappa. Well dressed, on-time and always positive, how he taught us to be simple and without pretence. We might have met each other in person only a couple of times, but he always spoke with warmth and even with a few words he could make us smile. We will think about him every time there is a cricket match between Australia and NZ. We will remember him while watching tennis. We will remember him often. Ganga Chithi and Udai will miss him dearly as will his grandchildren and Marie. I only hope you all give strength to each other.

Dear Ganga manni Uday and family. Very sad to hear about Chandranna. I have lovely memories of him when he lived with us in Matunga during my school years. I will always miss him.

Never have two completely different families been so closely aligned. We supported each other through many troubles and there is no doubt we are soul mates through eternity. Sleep well twin brother and have the lamb curry ready for when I arrive! David Merryweather

Dear manni iam Mohan from Delhi ramappas son from Bhopal sorry to hear the news may his soul rest in peace

Thank you Ramesh & family and Prasad & family for your touching messages. Attached is a recent photo of dad with Paul, Stella & Samuel. Love to all. Udai (now in NZ)

Dear Ganga manni Uday and family,

Very very sad to hear that Chandranna is no more with us. I will always miss him. I have such beautiful memories of chandranna when he stayed with us in matunga during my childhood days. Our condolences to all of you and May the Almighty give you the strength to face the irrepairable loss. I will always miss him. Umadevi(Venkuppa's daughter from Mumbai) and KK

Dear Ganga Chithi and Udai,

Chandra Chithappa will always remain in our hearts -- bright and cheerful and full of life and jocularity as always. He was the embodiment of all that is good in mankind.

We really wish we could be with you both right now.

Usha & Prasad

dear ganga manni, we are all deeply saddened by the passing of our dear chandra anna. I will miss him dearly. We share the grief with you,Udai &family. God bless
