Though I have not seen you in person for more than 41 years, I have many fond childhood memories of you, Uncle Thiagu. You were a natural at witty and thoughtful conversation, effortlessly blending humor with insight. Your brother, my father Coomaraswamy, often proudly cited your life as an example of quiet strength, integrity, and unwavering dedication to family and community. Uncle Thiagu, though we mourn your passing, we also celebrate your life—a life marked by kindness, resilience, and the lasting impact you had on those around you. You have gone to be with God and your siblings, but you will always be in our hearts, always celebrating the incredible life you lived. Uncle Thiagu, thank you for everything. Your thoughtful insights, your laughter, and your love will live on in us always. Rest peacefully, knowing you made this world better just by being in it. We love you. We miss you. And we will carry you with us, always.
