VU2PAI - Ananth G Pai
xx xx, xxxx - xx xx, xxxx
VU2PAI, Ananth Pai, or Paimam as fondly known left us on 14 July 2019. Down to earth and ever friendly Pai's love for Ham Radio was evident to anyone involved with ham radio. Pai was a people's person. Making friends with one and all as he trotted the globe - for hamming or otherwise. One single QSO was all it took to be left with his indelible mark. Any which way you look at Pai hamming, he was truly India's ham radio ambassador. Dear Pai, the Hill topping event on Bababudangiri in February was the last field day with you. We will miss you dear Pai - we didn't even get a chance to say 73. We will cherish the times together and the so many things we learnt from you. Ciao Pai! 73 & 88, MARC team
Condolences

To Pai's family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Pai, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and loved ones. I never met him in person, but we had several contacts from India, the US and several DXpeditions. Although I didn't know Pai personally, he always went out of his way to make me feel as if he had known me all of his life. And he was a very warm and kind man, and a great ham radio operator. His is a good and kind soul and I know that wherever he is now is all the better for his being there. I will miss him very much. 73 and good DX my friend, Mike Larcombe - W3MRL

I had not heard Pai on the bands in some time. The last was on 80 where I called and called but couldn't break through the W1's in the Boston area. His passing just tells us we need to keep our friends close as you never know which key will be silenced. 161 Pete, W1RM (Posted on behalf of Pete by Prasad VU2PTT)
