The person who comes next to fill his position, if we ever happen to find anybody worthy of taking his place, will definitely have some big shoes to fill.”

Anyone who has ever worked with him, vouches for him being gem of a person who is always ready to mentor the sub-ordinates and support the colleagues.

I am grateful for all the support each of you have extended to me, always. I am sure, all of you are cut for much bigger feats in times to come, and I would gladly keep track. Nothing would give me more happiness than to celebrate and applaud your accomplishments.”
