Dear Bali Your sudden departure has left a space and sorrow that words can barely fill. You were a wonderful friend, son, husband, and father. We first met at the University of Surrey, and even though you were senior to us, you never showed any difference, you welcomed us and became a close pal. You were not just one of the bright, but the brightest person and an asset to our community. You were our guide, and your warm, friendly tone still echoes in our hearts. I still remember the great times we shared, even after leaving university, especially during our work gatherings and Surrey old boys’ catch-ups. You brought light and laughter into every room, and though our hearts are heavy, your kindness and joy will continue to guide us always.   Rest in peace, dear friend. You will remain in our thoughts and hearts forever.
