Prof.S.Abraham


 

                                                    Prof.S.Abraham

it was a shock to hear that Prof.S.Abraham  passed away. I was not aware that he was sick for a few weeks .I can never forget his affection , gentleness and kind words. It was always a joy to meet and talk with him.He was one of the old guards, one of the great teachers, who would carry in their person qualities of courtesy and nobility along with their scholarship.

·        One of the great teachers of S.B. A great teacher and a role model. Gentlemanly, courteous, affectionate and caring.

·        A very brilliant teacher who has the knack of making Maths intelligible even to the average.

·        His books on different mathematical subjects –very lucid and helpful.

·        He stands taller as a teacher in the Department, literally and physically.

·        Recognizes his students with affection and caring.

·        His Christian faith was evident in his life—upright, courteous, appreciative, always seeing the good in other people.

·        Even in the last months of his life,  he made it a point to attend the various functions at the college.

·        Never cared for any position of honor or special recognition.

·        The college became richer and nobler on account of his presence.

·        The college community and the thousands of students he taught in the last more than  forty years will definitely miss him.·        

·        A former President of India who was a great scientist and teacher said once: “If the people remember me as a good teacher , that will be the greatest honor for me.”(Abdul Kalam)

·        Prof. S.  Abraham was not only a good teacher but also a role model and an inspiring presence.

·        Offering  condolences and prayers to his beloved wife, Annamma and to son,Dr.Sam and to other members of the family.

·       May God give eternal rest to Prof.S.Abraham. 

 

   Funeral was held at Thiruvalla on March 20th.  I went to the house in the morning.
