"They miss him so much because he never behaved like a supervisor," his wife Vasanta says of her husband's coworkers. "He behaved like a human being." After her husband's death, the outpouring of love and support she received from his colleagues spoke volumes about her husband. "I didn't know any of them," she says of his coworkers. "They are very special, professional. After this they were calling me, he was like a family member. He was involved in their personal problems. He could understand the people, what they're going through. He always liked to extend his hand, to help other people — he used to treat other people like family members, and at the end of his last breath, he sacrificed his life."
