Motto in Life: “WORK HARD & BE HUMBLE”

He as a Brother/Cousin……

Words are never adequate to express our love and respect towards him. A loving
brother, a caring uncle who helps, advises, and encourages. Your voice, and
memories we had together will always stay alive in our memories and hearts.

Unnikrishnan & Family

We will always cherish beautiful memories of Vasu Etta. He will be greatly missed
by his warmth, kindness, gentle spirit will be remembered forever. Great Etta for
us.

Shiamala Samy

Carry a heart that never hates

Carry a smile that never fades

Carry a touch that never hurts

Carry a relationship that never breaks that eternal forever

That's my Vasu Etta the man with jewel in the heart. The greatest pillar of the
Kandoo family has left us so soon. He is a glimpse of God. He is one of my best
blessings in my life. Not even once I had regrets about you Etta. You know how
much I have loved you and I have also mentioned it to you several times. I am your
greatest bully. I loved your smile that you give when I bully you. I guess I was the
only one to bully you always. As a sister I had fun in doing that Etta. I have no
regrets in the bond we both created ever since from our younger days. I was glad
that I was able to sit and chat with you beyond long hours though you were not in
good state at that time. I will always cherish the last message to me to believe in
myself. I thank God for giving me a brother like you .As you too always say Life
is short so make it sweet. Let's remind ourselves that we do not have much time
whether you are old or young. Let’s make every day, every minute, and every
moment as filled with eternal love and useful with joy and peace. Time is life, in
life every one of us go thru trials and tribulations of many kinds. One of its kind
is DEATH. Perhaps during this period of time many tend to realise their mistakes
in life. Change the attitude, throw the Ego and live a life full of love, joy and
peace. That’s what everyone needs not pride, dignity, grudges etc etc. Lastly Vasu
Etta you are life's true blessings and a priceless gift that can never be bought,
sold or forgotten. Your memories will always forever lingers in me till my death.

You are an amazing soul. My children also adores you always. GOD BLESS and SAI
RAM.

Jayanthi Samy

Etta lives with us in memory. Before our eyes, he grew weaker every day. Doing
all we could to save him, until God took him away. Never shall his memory fade.
Our sweetest love lingers forever round his peaceful grave. Etta- you are the
best soul that we have ever met. A person that everyone will yearn to have as
Etta. Wherever you are, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Your
memories will remain forever. May your soul rest in peace in heaven above.

Love always,

Shanthi Samy, Prrisha Ramash and Saielesh Ramash

Etta has and will always be an exemplary man.. Calm & composed, respectful, so
much of love and care.. This is how I will remember you! Growing up having you
around and the thought of not seeing you again is not going to be easy for me..
Will forever cherish the memories we have of you and am truly blessed to have a
brother like you.. Not only loss of a brother for me but also loss of a son for my
parents..

Roobiny Subramaniam

Aum Nama Shivaya

First and foremost, I thank GOD for this great gift of relationship with you my
dearest cousin VASUDEVAN. Though we were related as first cousins in this
journey of life, but I looked up to you as my very own elder brother. Yes, you have
always been there for me in good and bad times. You have been one of the kindest,
most loving, caring, compassionate and understanding being I have been blessed
to cross paths in this journey of our life. In fact, you were one of the most
important family members in our family circle whereby your presence made
everyone blessed and happy whilst your absence in any family function left a void.
You treated everyone the same with no partiality. Your humble and down- to-
earth nature is a blessing in itself. Such was your personality loved by one and all
our family circle alike. VASU is and will always be remembered, revered, and

cherished in our memories till eternity. Yes, the journey of your soul has ended
here in this life, but I truly believe God Himself has a special place reserved for
you in afterlife. May your soul be in peace.

Aum Shanti With fond memories and everlasting love.

One of your SISTERS,

Vasanthi.

He as a Husband…..

In Memory of My Loving ‘D’
Knowing and loving you for 35 years was wonderful. I was gifted to have a person
like you as a husband, a precious gift from my late parents. You have moulded me
for what I am today. You always cherished and encouraged the best I have today.
You are my soul, my mentor, my adviser and my best buddy. You have given me the
best life where no women would have had which we cherished it together
unconditionally. I shined in my carrier because of you. Many always get jealous
of our relationship being for each other all the time. To loose someone I loved so
much brings pain beyond belief. But the Almighty has given me the opportunity to
serve you the best till your last breath and I never regretted. Memories of me
holding your hands and lying on your shoulders for the last time will last forever.
I feel I’ve lost someone so close to my heart who calls me ‘Ji’ which I can never
have anymore.
I always admire your special ways and wish that you were near. Although you have
left us, you’ll stay within my heart guiding me as an angel. I have lived the best
life with you. For love is ever lasting and so are my memories – Your legacy that’s
always there to light the way for me and for the future! I will miss you forever,
D.

Your Ever-Loving Wife,
Santhi Vasudevan

He as a father…..

In Loving Memory of Dearest Acha
Every one called you Vasu, but I called you, Acha (dad). I was and I am your only
princess which I felt the luckiest. You were everything for me from the day you
held me in your arms. You were the sculptor of my life. Every character in me,
resembles you. The coolest person I ever had in my life, was you. You were the
reason behind all my dreams. You never say “NO” for whatever I wanted. Each
and every single day, I reflect back to the inspirational things you spoke and
taught me. The words that you used often were “YOU CAN, GO FOR IT, YOU
WILL” and etc. If not your inspiration throughout my life, I would not be the
person I am to this day.
My love for you can’t be described in words. You were the only one I look up to,
for advice and support. When I started my next phase in life away from your
constant presence, I appreciated you even more. Every phone call of yours puts a
big smile on me. “Hello, My Puteri. How are you doing?” were the first thing you
will always say whenever I answer your call. Knowing how my day went, my safety
and health, was your concern. Now, I miss your care and concern where I know I
will never get it from you anymore.
Even though I can’t see you, I can feel your presence with us. We are covered in
the memories of you. Since our childhood, your constant presence ensured that
we had the best of everything. I still remember the days that we were young
where you will always wait for school holidays just to bring us for vacation. You
brought us to explore the outside world so that we could face the future with
fearless confidence. Keeping us happy was your only aim. I remember you working
very hard, day and night for our comfort. You didn’t want us to feel the hardship
you went through when you were young. We were always told by you to have an
aim in life and try achieving it no matter what happens.

You were an inspirational figure to many out there including family, relatives and
friends. People look up to you for many good reasons. Taking things cool and
positive were your only secrets of a happy living. You will be dearly missed, acha.
I wish, life had a rewind button for me to keep creating good memories with you.
I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

Your Puteri,

Varshna Roopa Vasudevan

You never wanted to boast about yourself;

You never looked for praises;

You were just working hard for us;

Only for us.

You were there for us;

As a firm foundation of “Vashan Clan”

A great father to us & I’m truly blessed.

Till we meet again, Rest In Peace, Acha. We Miss You.

Kashwiin Vasudevan

Although our time together was short, it was filled with lots of sweet memory.
You loved me as your own and I'm forever blessed to get to know and have such
a wonderful father. Will miss our chit chats but there's more to come till the day
we meet again. Love you, Acha.

Bernice

The day I came into the family, you welcomed me with opened arms. You made me
feel right at home and you were a great father-in-law to me. I’m so grateful to
be a part of your wonderful family. I miss our conversations with you about my
carrier and your advice as well. Even when I drop by to visit you, you never send
me back empty stomach. Thank you for the care, generosity and love shown me
over the years. You stand above the rest. I will miss you, uncle. Rest In Peace.

M.Ravichandran

He as a Brother-In-Law

Yours,
R&R (Rama & Rose)
You are the symbol of love and care. Our Arvindsamy. Etha, we love you so much.
Will miss you forever. ❤
Sitha Sivaraman & Boys

He as an uncle….

OM Chericha.. That is how myself, Nishan and Diwa calls you ever since we were
young till now, Vaas for my acha and Jenny Achacha for Sivaani and Misha. I still
can’t believe that I am writing a tribute because of your passing. So many
memories we had with you, Chericha. Thank you for always been there and we will
never forget all the help you did for Acha and for us as well. You were a father
figure to all of us. I have always admired you for being such a hardworking man,
for being kind and helpful to others and I have never seen u getting angry at all.

You have always been a good friend to Acha and I still remember few days before
Acha passed away when you came to visit him, Acha asked you to sit next to him
and he hold your hands and sat quietly. That moment is still fresh in my memory.
We will miss your phone calls Chericha and knowing that you won’t be there
anymore whenever we come to your house is much more hurting. God saw that you
were getting tired and with tearful eyes we watched you fade away. Rest in peace
Chericha and I’m sure Acha will take care of you in heaven.

To Santhi Cherima, Harvin, Varshu and Kash we know the pain is unbearable and
only time will heal everything. We are always here for all of you ❤.

Your First Niece,

Subashini Balakrishnan

His calm way of talking and also, I always got excited whenever he gave new
badminton goodies.

"My dear Valiacha"

~A man with a beautiful soul in and out ~

He is a person who keeps the family united always such as like family gathering,
weekends meet up, family outing, dinner, potluck n etc. I'll miss all that without
you, Valiacha.

He is a great listener, motivator, and supporter in my life. The most unforgettable
moments in my life were during the first PKP time where I started my hybrid
mode classes from S2. So many ups and downs that I faced during my degree life,
and you were there supporting and guiding me throughout it. Moreover, without
fail you will always message me and ask my progress even though when you were
sick (unable to type like before). This really touched me alot... No one have done
that for me. This makes me not to give up and come where I am today. I know I
won't get those messages after this, but I know that you will always guide me no
matter where you are. I wished you will be beside me on my big day but I
promise I will succeed this final race of mine and bring the scroll to you.

He is a person who is concern about health and use to tell all of us to do exercise,
mainly walking and control our food intake (but this very rarely he said). There
are many beautiful moments with you such as buying and filling up the refrigerator
whenever we go to the house during holidays. Bringing us out to Aeon and many
more.

He is a person that is very special to me in my life. Nothing is more painful in this
world than losing someone you love so dearly. You have left so many wonderful
memories that will never fade from my heart... Miss you alot Valiacha

Vasu mama had an amazing life. That’s why he was a successful person, a fantastic
loving family man, and a leader in his community. Even though he is known for his
accomplishments, I would like to tell you about another side of Mama today. He
was one of the kindest and most gentlemen I’ve ever known. During our childhood
days, he is the person who will always pop up with an amazing outing plan during
school holidays. Never get tired bringing the whole group of us to Taman Basikal,
lake gardens and many more..

Ammai, you took a great care of Mama till his last breath

Pavithira Paniker Ravandran

Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, your memory lives within us,
forever in our heart, mama. You will be missed forever and always. The beautiful
moments you shared with us will always speak of the great person that you were.
Treasured in my heart, you'll stay until we meet someday again. Today, you are
not here with us, but we will always remember you as a winner who lived like a king
all your life. You were always known as the bundle of energy, someone who has
never surrendered to situations. Today, we have lost a man of good deeds who is
now with God. You are always loved and never forgotten, mama. I wish you had not
left us so early. I have never met anyone with a heart as big as my uncle’s.
Rest in peace up in heaven, mama.

SJKT Ladang Lenggeng Teachers,
(1991-1995)

I worked with Mr Vasu as GPK 1 at SJKT LADANG LENGGENG for more than 10
years. During that time, I've never seen him scolding or hurting or ignore any
students or teachers. He always smiles even though we make mistakes. For my
opinion, he is my idol and I can't believe that Mr Vasu is no more with us but I
believe he is guiding his family and loved ones from above. I really miss Mr Vasu.

Thank you, sir, for everything you’ve done for me directly and indirectly. It’s much
appreciated and I shall miss working with you. Your guidance and encouragement

with you, sir. I wish you healing and peace. Sir you have gone from our sight but

I know Mr Vasu since 1969. During school days, he was a talented sepak takraw
player. From 1973 until 1974, we studied Tamil together under guidance of Mr A.
Maniam. After the retirement, we worked together in Rasah Mariamman temple
management. We always get together on many occasions after retiring. He was
very kind and humble person. I miss him so much. He will be deeply missed but his
memories will never fade away.
