On Thursday, March 12, 2020, Bashem S. Coorg, loving husband, father, grandfather and brother, passed away peacefully at the age of 80 years old. Bashem was born December 17, 1939 in Bangalore, India. He completed a Masters in Engineering at Syracuse University and soon after married the love of his life, Jaya. His life was blessed with travel, adventure, friends and family. Some of his biggest joys were his children, IBM, and his video camera which he always kept handy to record the best memories. He was also extraordinarily humble. Bashem is preceded in death by his father, Sampath Iyengar, mother, Padma, step-mother Sharadha, and our family dog, Hershey. He is survived by his wife Jaya, daughter Rohini, son Vasanth, daughter-in-law Erin, grandchildren, bothers, sister, and in-laws. In lieu of flowers, please give a big hug to all of your loved ones and keep smiling in his honor.
