Remembering Kirit Parekh (1943-2021)

DESCRIPTION
His best friend Harish Desai writes:

This is for my friend Kirit. My best friend for last 50 years. He was like my younger brother. One whom you can call any time of a day or night and he will be there to help.

He was funny, always smiling and liked by everybody. He was 77 when he passed away but he had friends of all ages, 40 to 99.

He was my World Trade Center. Tall, one and only one, touching the sky. So does Kirit, at least for me. One and only one. Rare of the rarest. You need one good friend in your life. Kirit was one for me. For good mental and physical health, you need at least one good friend to whom you can talk your heart out. He was one for me.

I lost him to Covid-19. He fought his battle for 4 long months but finally he lost.

My friend, you will be missed each and everyday of the rest of my life. Rest In Peace, my dear friend, will meet one day .
