"Uncle Townie was the best. News of his passing was so sudden as we just saw him about a month ago. We love him dearly and cannot imagine he is no longer with us. He was major role model for the family, a man of strength, humorous character and class. My deepest sympathy to Aunt Leela, Rabbi, Roy, Mona and Row and their families at this time. Love you all very much "
"My Deepest Sympathy to the Family. Uncle Townie was one of the nicest person I've ever met. He always wears a smile, gives good advice and supportive. Farida, Travis, Brandon and Ian."
"I am sad to hear of my uncle's passing. I remember my uncle Townie as a young man when he got married to my auntie Leela. I was just a little girl then. Since my mother (Leela's older sister) passed away in 2009 my aunt and I spoke to each other on a regular basis. I had the good fortune to speak with Uncle on May 2 when they called to wish me happy birthday. As usual he was very upbeat and encouraging with his kind words. He will remain in my memory the way I have always known him ... a kind, loving and caring person. With sadness in my heart, I and my family extend our heartfelt sympathies to my aunt and my cousins, and pray that God give them the strength and courage in this time of sorrow. The Bhagavad Gita - Ch 2 Verse 11 - says: "Know the soul as imperishable, eternal, unborn and does not die, therefore that person who accepts this eternal truth does not grieve". Celebrate his life. Uncle, may you rest in peace. "
"Condolances and heart felt symphaty for your great losss. I remember the first time I visited my cousin Townie's home at Diamond senior staff compound in 1968. He was warm, caring and supportive. R.I.P. "
"Our dear uncle will be sadly missed but not forgotten. He will be in our hearts forever as we share fond memories of family togetherness."
"Please accept my condolences for your loss. There is no worse pain than losing a loved one to death, I also want to share with you the hope that we find in the following Bible verses. God promise in Isaiah 25:8 these comforting word, "He will swallow up death for ever, and certainly wipe the tears from all faces. The Bible also says that God will wipe away the tears from our eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away (Rev. 21:3, 4). What great joy to be able to live forever without the fear of losing our loved ones again. It shall be as he has promise, for God can not lie, Titus 1:2. "
"My parents, Arjune Dulamdin and Mangri Dulamdin always talked about their nephew, Harry, popularly known as Town Boy. Harry was one of the senior cousins, and according to my parents he did well. I met Harry a few years ago in Fort Lauderdale,at another cousin's home, when I was invited for a Jhandi. He was happy to meet with us, Margaret,Mona, Hanoman, Frank and Rita."
"I met Harry 36 years ago when I got married to his first cousin. I have found him to be a very nice person and he was there to support us during the times when you needed support e.g. my mother-in-law death and I shall always remember him for that, R.I.p"
