Sad news indeed. Although Arvind had not been able to attend many meetings
in the last few years, his contributions were always lively. I have fond
memories of an evening meal with Arvind and Peter Vaughan at a restaurant
near Frascati. Arvind ingored the menu and made a superb choice of food and
wine by negotiating with the waiter.
We will miss him

Subject: Bad News
Dear SFCG Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart and a sense of tragic loss that I bring you news of
one of our sterling members.
Arvind Bastikar, of the Canadian Space Agency, has died.
Arvind was driving to his home in Ottawa, from his office in St. Hubert
(Montreal) on Friday, July 11, in the evening when he was involved in a
fatal automobile accident. Nobody
else was hurt.
He leaves behind a widow (Joan), two daughters, a stepson, and
grandchildren. Our thoughts go to the family in this time of bereavement.
The family is in shock at this time, which is why I was asked to inform all
of Arvind's ESA, NASA, etc (SFCG) colleagues. The funeral will be held in
Ottawa later this
week. The date time and location will be announced, probably later today and
I will send it to you as soon as I know it.
"Age shall not weary him,
nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning,
- We will remember him"
Regards
Bob Taylor
