“Baba saw a world that transformed and grew, and he carried those experiences with him like chapters in a book that only he could tell. A life that long is filled with countless lessons, moments of hardship, and times of joy, all of which he likely shared with you in the small ways and big ways that made him unique.
“His passing marks the end of an era for your family, and though he’s no longer here in body, his spirit remains in every memory he left behind. His strength, his resilience, and the love he showed will continue to guide you and everyone who loved him. Baba rest in peace, held gently by the same love he shared in this world”
