The Passing away of Prof.K.K.John

It was with great sadness that I received the news of the passing away of Prof.K.K.John.Tony, his son, called me a few days ago about his admission in the Pushpagiri hospital. I thought he would get over the crisis and would spring back into life. But it was not to be.We lost a great teacher who was always ready to come to the assistance of any one. He was a very talented teacher of physics and was very passionate and eloquent in his classes. I cannot forget his cheerful and welcoming face.  He was always very respectful and courteous. He  was not only a powerful presence in the campus but also was the same outside the campus.Was very helpful to the Cathedral as well as to the Archdiocese.Always found time for public service.May God grant him eternal rest.
I was there at the funeral and gave the homily at the request of the family. It gave me an occasion to offer my personal homage to him.
