The Glog has been dormant for the last week, as my father passed away on 8th of February after a brief illness. Although suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the last two years he was mobile and eating well. Suddenly, his health deteriorated and he passed away in his sleep.
He was a major influence in my life both personally and professionally. He had taught Botany at a college for almost half a decade. He was extremely conscientious, and performed his duties without any fear or favor. He was honest to the core and refused to do anything which would affect his conscience. Once I asked him to bring 2 pieces of chalk from his college. However, he refused, saying his conscience doesn't allow even that.
He was always well-dressed. His shoes shone bright, which he himself polished daily.
When I wrote any article it was my father who acted as my editor. He would correct any grammatical mistakes and also would ask me about the research I was doing.
My family has lost a loving and caring father and grandfather.
The Glog shall always remember and pray for him.
