I was very much shocked when I got a message from Mrs. Jeevan Jyoti
about demise of Dr. Satyendra on 21st of this month. It took me a long
time to accept, especially as I got his last mail on 20th of this
month as Mrs. Jyoti also got his mail on the same day.
I was in touch with him from more than 25 years, although personally met
him couple of times only. He was a great well-wisher not only for me but for
all philatelic fraternity in the country. He always guide and inspired me to
continue publication of “ITS Stamp News”, whenever I feel to discontinue the
same. He selflessly wrote various articles not only for our magazine (almost
for every issue) but also contributed for various other journals &
bulletins in the country. He has vast knowledge about philately and has good
command on his writings. He was also an excellent Cartoonist and contributed
for various forums with his simply line sketches, which means a lot.
My heartfelt condolences to his family
members ...May his soul rest in peace
and may god give strength to bear this loss to all his friends and family
members. He may be far away from all of us now but his writings and
contribution for all of us, remains in our mind always.
