I had the privilege of looking after Ashok for the last few years of his life. He was a brave, patient and courageous man who never complained about his condition. Ashok always managed a smile for those he cared about - and until his death he was surrounded by the love provided not only by his wife and children, but his many friends and family. He was so very proud of his children and remained at the very heart of the family until the end. Ashok gave so much to so many people and the wonderful memories he has left with his friends and family will ensure that he will never be forgotten. Those who cared for Ashok were similarly touched by him and anyone who knew him in the last few years would certainly have gained much from the experience. Thank you, Ashok, for sharing yourself with us. You will be sorely missed.
