Radha and I are deeply shocked to hear the sudden passing away of Amol.
I have always known Amol to be a quiet, affable and a highly knowledgeable person. I still clearly remember that Saturday morning in 1992 when he had to drive down unplanned, impromptu from Toronto to Niagara to pick up my mother as I could not cross over to Canada because of a botched up visa issue – no fuss, no tantrums – he just took it all in his stride as that was the most practical thing to do at that point of time !
Amol settled in Canada in the mid 70s, hence I was not fortunate to meet him too often and the rare meetings occurred during large family gatherings when it is hard to strike long and personal conversations. However, I will always cherish our meeting in Pune in 2018 when he shared his memories and experiences of his visits to Normandy, the war museum in Ottawa, the Wren Library in Cambridge and the Banff National Park. His spiritual leanings and pursuit of Vedanta struck a special chord with Radha.
Amol – I think that you lived your life true to your name – invaluable to the family and in a silent, selfless manner. May your soul rest in peace forever.
- Radha and Harish.

My dearest friend Gita has lost this quiet, gentle soul who was her partner and best friend. Gee and I are friends for over 50 years and Amol used to gently leave us alone to chatter when we met with a knowing smile that we wanted to be alone. I know he is now free from pain and in the arms of the Divine whom he surrendered to. My prayers and thoughts are with Gee and all the family. Kalpana(Lallu).

Anuradha and I have been meeting Amol and Geetha in Pune on a number of occasions. Although we have known each other a relatively short time in our lives, we had developed affection for them and a realisation that we had so much in common to talk about. Amol and I talked a lot about American politics, books and movies, subjects on which he was very well informed. Perhaps this was because we are of the same generation, although I came to know he is a few years younger than me. Neither of us is / was a golfer! That helped!! He happily joined us Beer Buddies a couple of times and indulged in raucous conversation. The last one being just a week after he was discharged from hospital. It was fun. This will forever be my memory of him.
Amol's passing has to be a difficult time for Geetha and we hope that she will find the strength to bear with this loss. Our condolences to both daughters and their families.
Venkat and Anuradha

Dearest Dadu, over the last 40 years, you have been a gentle, kind and loving influence in my life. As an adult, it has been a privilege to be able to spend time with you in our home, and to get to know you as a person, and to think of you as a very dear friend, not just my 'uncle by marriage'. Dhruv and I are both so thankful that we got to spend that time with you, drink some whisky and eat some good food, and travel with you to new places. Remember.... the old pub where you had 'the best steak ever', seeing the Principia Mathematica and other documents at the Wren Library after queueing for hours and nearly not making it in, wandering the streets of Cambridge and London with you and Geetha perima, all the laughs at Dhati's wedding.... so many wonderful wonderful memories. You were a quiet man, but we know your worth. You will be very sorely missed, and these precious mementoes will remain in our hearts and minds as long as we live. We shall bring them out often, tell them to other people, and keep you in our lives every single day. Much love, Aru.

Dadu, I will always remember you as a kind, loving uncle who did so much for his family (including flying 6,000 km with gout for a wedding in the dead of winter) and put up with all the teasing from your daughters, nieces and sisters&brothers-in-law with a cheerful resignation and the conviction of someone who knew his mind! I will think of you every time I print in colour. All my love - Dhati.

My friendship with Amol lasted for 56 years. He was a gem of a person. Our friendship bond was very strong.He was like a yonger brother to me. Fortunately our wives also got well along together. Amol and Geeta introduced us to Vedanta Philosophy. His demise has created a big void in our life.He was very emotional from inside , but never expressed his emotions. We have recited chapters 12 and 15 while he was being cremated today.

Deeply saddened by the news that Amol is not amongst us.
My earliest memories of him were at your wedding in Pune. The handsome man who married my Atthai was held in some awe by us cousins - MBA from The US, works in Canada!
While we met only briefly in the 70s in Pune, my memories of Amol at Shashi’s home in Binghamton are very fresh. Meeting you both at your lovely home, When you hosted Karnan’s family was a bonus indeed. We will cherish your visit to our home in Chennai
The dinners at La Marche are what define Amol in my mind. An agile, eclectic mind, great empathy, strong values, a practical outlook on life, closeness to family... I could go on
May God give you, Amrita, Mansi, Karnan, Scott, the children, Shashi and Sheelu, Meena chitti, Ram, Meera, Kay strength. Amol is not with us. He is safe with the Almighty
Deepest condolences from Shanthi, Aarti, Arvind, Appa, Amma, Kartik, Aparna, Aditya and Advait

It is with a deep sense of emotion that we are writing this to share our grief
Loving and dutiful as ever, Amol made his farewell trip to India, last year to take care of Geetha’s dear mother whom he called Meena Tai. Amol never missed visiting us , whenever he came to meet the extended family members at Chennai.
We ever remember our visit to Toronto when he and Geetha came to Buffalo to pick us up to take us to their lovely home they had se up with their two charming daughters Amrita and Manasi. It was such an affectionate get together for them to share old memories of their mother in her younger days with us. To Amol, I was “Kicha Anna”and the entire Kulkarni family called me that way. I will be missing his affection and regards that he had for me
May God give the family all the strength to pass through such trying times
May the lord bless Amol with eternal peace at his abode.
Our prayers are with the family
Kicha and Sulochana

The evenings we have spent with Amol and Geetha at our place were thoroughly enjoyable and are unforgettable. We became a good friends. A most affable person, his passion was history. We would certainly miss him. Heartfelt condolences to Geetha and the family.

Amol came into our lives when his love letters to Geetha filled our mailbox in Chennai. At the time, Amol was a student at Columbia and Geetha was pursuing her Master's at Stella Maris College, and was staying at the hostel. They were both engaged to be married. My mother was recruited as the letter-carrier. (She had no choice in the matter although she came to love it!) If, for some reason, he didn't hear back from Geetha within a day or two, more letters followed, at the rate of two or three a day, straining the postal service. Then, one day, I did get to meet this modern-day Romeo. He was very warm, but surprisingly, was very quiet and unassuming. We hit it off right away. He was as much a friend as family and I will miss him terribly. God doesn't make too many people like him.

I have known Geetha’s family for over 60 years and never had a chance to attend the wedding of Amol & Geetha.
Met Amol only last year when they both came to Pune and what a lovely couple they made
Amol so quiet but with a very subtle sense of humour was a perfect foil for Geetha’s effervescence.
We did enjoy a couple of lovely evenings with Amol
The second visit they made last year ,alas was marked by hospital visits and one was left with the hope that although all was not well with Amol he would pull through with medical intervention from time to time, but that was not to be
Heart felt farewell dear friend
Pray for fortitude to Geetha and family
Regards
Gautam

It will be the little things that we will remember....
The quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem really hard right now,
It will be the memories of these little things
That will keep him alive for us
And push away the pain that lingers in the heart.
I am so thankful he touched my life and was a precious member of our family.
Rest in Peace my dearest Amolda!

The first question I've always asked Amol whenever he arrived to visit us was "has your luggage arrived?" The airlines and Amol have had a lifelong feud going - luggage, flights and once even the piolts went on strike! It got so bad that the family was also targeted by them - Geetha was re-routed the year before last and spent an extra 15 hours enroute.
Love you Amol and miss you a lot.
