Our memory of you, a worldly man, our Periyappa, is rather special. A caring person with an uniquely pragmatic nature, devoid of unnecessary emotions. You remained as a stern respectable figure and the only person fit for replacing the void ammappa had left behind. True example of a strong willed person who made his own way up in the world and wholeheartedly helped everyone become the best forms of themselves along the way. You nurtured and took care of all of us young delinquents during desperate times of need, and for which we are eternally grateful. Our generation has lost a guide, a patriarch and a more importantly a beautiful soul. The loss is definite but you may live on forever in our thriving memories.
