FIL RIP!

W's father, my Father in Law, expired today by noon. He was on a semi comatose last 2 weeks and has been out of hospital.
He was a thorough gentleman and I cant think of anyone having any sort of ill will or unhappy thoughts of him. he was boringly non-controversial all thru his life.
One moment stands out for me. He had visited us in Swiss a decade back and we had the fun cricket among all Indian families around our village out there. This man, 62 then, took it so seriously and ran a serious short single. To avoid a run out shy, he dived to the crease. All of us in the ground and those outside missed a beat. He coolly got up from the ground with bruises, saying he 'reached'..at the same time the umpire was chiding someone who was appealing a run out. so much for his involvement and readiness for sport.
He was always a good sport and a easy go lucky man.
One of these days when he was on and off to 'incoherent' stages he was saying 'ananthoo will take care'. That was his strong belief on many things including a last minute ticket to anything. so it was not surprising that he mouthed that. He wud listen to all of us like a kid when ever we asked him to do anything when he was convalescing. For a fit man like him and esp one who wouldnt drink any thing harder than water and who was always conscious of his diet, this was a sad end. Cerebral hemorrhage and liver cirrhosis was too much.
RIP my dear FIL..am sure you wud take it cool where ever u are.
Note: We decided to donate his eyes and its a fairly simple job. That was a proud moment for me. This gentleman now has helped 2 blinds see, on his way out!
All you have to note the numbers and call them. In this case we had called Narayana Nethralaya. They have to take the eyes within 6 hours and the fan should not be on where the body is. Also the eyes shud be closed. Its a 10 minute job for them and once they remove, we cannot make out if they have removed. Spread this news and help more blind folks out there.
