Greatly saddened by the passing away of Mr Rajendran. I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the family. I am one of many whose lives were enriched by his warm friendship. He was my classmate at Somaskanda during 1957 - 1964. He had been a great role model and a very good influence on his class mates. Lot of fond memories come to mind of our school days. He was always the first to volunteer to help out, a favorite student of the teachers especially our English Teacher, Manoharan Master. May the Almighty Lord Ganesh give the family the strength to withstand this irreparable loss. Vinayalkalingam
