He was a very great philanthropist during his life time. He died on 9th
January 2004 at the age of 68.He was buried on the 3rd of February. Even
though he was a foreigner living and working here he requested before his
death that he be buried here in his words, "I regard here as My home and the
people as my people"

any proof of identities of yours, your current telephone and fax numbers and
