Ahluwalia.

Thank you for your note dear Surinder. Fortunately, my Behram too had great memories of his school days. We have a photo of him after the boxing match. We were married for almost 52 years and I was fortunate to have shared this journey with him.
We miss him terribly.
Gool and family

The last time I met him in person was few years back with Partap Sharma over lunch at the Bombay Yacht Club. Behram was a gem of a person.
He was a great Boxer. No one can forget the final between him and Wendy Dewan. The latter won the match, but Behram won the Best Loosers cup. Both Wendy and Behram had black & blue eyes, swollen lips and bloody noses.
May his soul rest in peace. May God provide his family strength to cope with his loss.

Extremely sorry to hear the sad news. I was also in Lefroy from 1952-1960 – he was living in Bombay and had a store in Crawford market. I have often enquired about him from them just was told that he lives abroad. I have fond memories of him and also you Dr Santokh Singh my house captain.
May his soul rest in peace. Condolences to the family
Regards to Santokh Singh- would love to speak to you – my mobile number 9820153182 any time.

DC Anand was senior to me by a year, but l remember him from his devoted work for the OCA.

So many good and great contemporaries of mine have passed away. I grieve for them. C’est la vie! Rest in peace, my dear friends.

I will be ninety years of age myself in April 2025. I am at peace with the world – and quite curious about what comes next!

Mr Irani was a thorough gentleman; I express my deepest appreciation and send my heartfelt condolences to Mrs Irani.
With Great Sincerity,
