I HAD KNOWN JAYENDRAN FROM A YOUNG AGE AT SCHOOL. WHEN I MET HIM IN TORONTO IN THE 70S WE DEVELOPED GOOD FRIENDSHIP. IN 1976 WE SPENT 1 WEEK IN MONTREAL TOGETHER. A COUPLE OF FRIENDS WENT TO SEVERAL EVENTS IN 1976 OLYMPICS. HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER. THEN WE WORKED IN THE SAME COMPANY WITH ME. AFTER ONE YEAR HE FOUND A BETTER JOB AND MOVED. HE WAS THE FIRST PERSON AMONG OUR FRIENDS TO BUY A BRAND-NEW FIREBIRD AND DROVE US AROUND. HE GOT MARRIED AND SETTLED DOWN QUIETLY WITH HIS FAMILY IN THORNHILL. WE CONTINUED TO BE IN TOUCH. HE ENJOYED HIS LIFE TO HIS POTENTIAL. NOW IT IS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE, DEAR JAYENDRAN.
