I remember him and his sisters (Tanya and Elath (spelling?). Seemed like well-brought up kids. Elath was on the same NIM-Uttarkashi (mountain trekking) course as I in '83.
Judah was a good boxer, though I think he lost to Iqbal Durazi in the final when they were in the 12th (I was in the 8th & a boxing fan - got my boxing colours yrs later), Tanya was also quite the athlete.
What a tragic loss, I knew Judah personally, through my entire life inside and outside of Cathedral,he was always a pleasure to be around.Having left India 25 years ago I am sorry that I did not keep in touch with so many of my friends, however, even in their absence, our years together at Cathedral ingrained the good times through the incredible childhood we had together at this institution. I will miss you Judah.
My condolences to those left behind, they are always the ones who suffer most.
It has been years since I met Judah and will miss him. We were in the same batch as well as the same class...and though it has been years we will miss him.My condolences from our family to all of his. Malini Sawhney
Thank you to all our family and friends for all the tremendous support and love you have given us. It has given us the strength to go forward despite this tragic loss.
