With deep regret we announce the passing away of S. Venkatachari, Past President of ISHRAE Bangalore Chapter (1989-90) and an HVAC&R industry veteran, on August 27 in Bangalore. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter and grandchildren. Fondly known as Chari by his friends, he had an illustrious career spanning more than sixty years, during which he served leading organizations in defining their path and long-term vision. He was a thorough professional, an engineer with very sharp problem-solving skills and an authority on the subject. He had a simple lifestyle, ever willing to teach and share his knowledge with others. He conducted training for a large number of fresh engineers at the beginning of their careers – this was his passion. We pray for his soul to rest in peace, and convey our sincere condolences to his family, friends and relatives.
