Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your father.
Dude (Kripa) you are one of the best buddies I’ve ever had. From the time we met at Timken 18 years ago to now, we have been very close. Over the years, we enjoyed our time playing golf and chatting. Our Phoenix trips were especially a good time. You and I made so many precious memories that I will cherish and never forget. Losing a best friend is so hard. Dude you are the best and we shared and will continue to share the most everlasting friendship through our memories. I will miss you forever.

Kripa was a happy, bubbly person with full of energy. I remember the time when we visited him in Columbus, he gave us his Chevy station wagon and said, if you want it, its yours. He said he was tired of getting speeding tickets, because the speedometer was off !!! He was such a caring and loving person. Lots of fun memories!!!
