Dear All This is very sad news and a great loss for the LIS community and for all of us who benefitted from his knowledge, professionalism and service. He was a sincere dedicated, enthusiastic, and very active person. I feel proud to had an opportunity to work under his guidance. He was easily accessible to everyone. I also join the LIS community to pray to God for this great soul to rest in peace.
