Dear Saroja and family,  We were so saddened to learn of Padmanabhan's passing.  He was an interesting, intelligent, inspiring, gifted, warm and friendly man.  We feel so fortunate to have met and had the opportunity to get to know the two of you in Becket and then in Florida.  Please accept our very heartfelt condolences.  We share in your loss.  We hope the wonderful memories of all your years together will be a source of comfort to you and your family during this difficult time.  With much love, Leila and Bob Strassler
