"In memoriam: In my memory, Uncle Sharma was a stalwart among his contemporaries! In January 1959, I recall landing an entry level clerical job in the Fiji Government Medical Department. In June of that year, when Aunt Janice married Uncle Sharma, I came to know that Uncle was working in the Lands Department , one flight of stairs immediately above my office. I recall visiting my newfound Uncle in his office for no official reason. I enjoyed getting to know this new relative in my life. In December of 1959, I resigned from my job for studies in Sydney, Australia. In the short period of our acquaintance, he positively impressed me in a strong and positive way. By reason of his employment he became a veritable Mr. Lands Department - his familiarity with land and property , sub-divisions, maps, ownership, lease, lease renewals and lease expiry and issues of courts dealings people had with property ownership, were all filed in his memory. His mental prowess in this regard was such that nothing much happened in the department without his knowledge and say so. He had great recall of all official land details - what a memory! I witnessed him in action in his office. Many people who had land issues found relief when Uncle handled the matter. We will all miss Uncle. With deep sympathy and heartfelt condolences. Dron Parsad"

"Our deepest sympathy for your loss and also to my cousins. Thinking of all of you as you go through this painful time. You were all blessed to have had your dad in your life for such a long time. Uncle Sharma was very much his own person, of course, at 10 years old I was petrified of him when Pinky and I came to your house. came to your house! Yet, he never said anything to make me feel like that but his presence was enough!. I have fond memories of spending time with you, Aunty Janice when you got married, the singing and dancing until uncle came home! He has been in our life for a long time and will be missed. I will never forget my father crying when you got married, It was the most intense reaction I have ever experienced by a brother at his sister leaving the house. He loved you with all his heart. I wish you strength and peace as you go through the next few days. Rest in Peace Uncle Sharma Love you and thinking of all of you Roshni (Pinny Kalika) Sinha "
