Sushil was in my Process Engineering Group at the DuPont Plant in Chattanooga in the early 1970's.  Sushil was an outstanding engineer and was extremely intelligent and well organized.  He went on to advance in the Technical Section.
I remember when he returned to India and brought back his wife, Meera.  My wife and I remained very good friends with them and participated in functions in the Indian community.  Sushil and Meera came to our Sunday School class on Signal Mountain to share thoughts of the Hindu religion since our class was studying religions of the world.  
I was transferred away from the Chattanooga Plant, but kept up with Vineet's outstanding educational progress to becoming an MD.  Sushil was truly an outstanding individual who will be greatly missed.   Bob Chaney

Vineet, 
I cannot thank you enough for answering my text to your dad, and sharing the videos with me. 

I truly appreciate you taking the time to call and talk with me—it meant so much, especially as I had just learned about your dad. As devastating as the news was, speaking with you brought a sense of comfort. Thank you again for that.

The videos were beautiful and a true testament to my beliefs about Sushil. He was clearly an incredibly generous, kind man—a man of ultimate integrity, just as I had always suspected.

I am was not a “Close” friend of Sushil’s, however, I would like to say he was definitely my friend, and I admired him dearly.

I met him about 15 years ago when I first went to H&R to have my taxes done. I consider myself very intuitive when it comes to meeting people, and I knew Sushil was an amazing human being right from the start of our business relationship

That first time I went to Sushil, my taxes were a mess. I had just started a business and I did not know what the heck I was doing. Well, Sushil went above and beyond and helped me straighten things out. And I continued to have him do my taxes from that day forward.

One of your father’s most remarkable qualities—beautifully mentioned by both you and your son at the service—was the way he led by example. And what an extraordinary example he set. From the video, it’s clear that both of you have carried that legacy forward. It’s easy to see why he was so deeply proud of you and your son.

I am sending, love, peace and healing to you and your family and all that loved him.  I will surely miss him.

Blessings to you all -

Sushi was a gentleman to the core. He was a very pleasant, helpful, and good natured person. He was always smiling  and had a subtle sense of humor . After a long stint with the Corporate world which took him to several places he specialized in Tax planning and Tax Returns working for H & R Block. He assisted several of his friends informaly (Including us) on several Tax issues. He was a key figure in our informal PANERA group where we helped each other on several matters. We will miss him immensely. In the space  of a decade we have lost both Meera and Sushil a lovely couple. We offer our deepest condolences to Nandini and Vineet and pray to God to give them the strength to get over this bereavement. ...love  Vani and Alladi

Sushil (lovingly "Sushil Grandpa" by Tuhina) was more than our neighbor; he was like a father to  us since we first moved and acclimated to Moorpark, always cheerful and conversational. Even after we moved away, he stayed in touch with us; we have had too many fond conversations to count. We feel his absence, even over a thousand miles away, and we're forever grateful for his warmth, guidance, and love.

Sushil was a dear friend and the best neighbor we have ever had. He was such a caring person and a great cook too!  We are all saddened by his passing. He will always live in our hearts.

We feel fortunate to have spent time with Sushil Uncle when the family visited us in December. I have always admired his good spirit, love for life, and how he enjoyed time with family and friends, whom he treated as family. He was a wonderful role model and will be missed deeply.

Passing away of Sushil Sarin, our dear friend was very very sad and shocking news. Sushil was a great friend, cheerful, always smiling and very welcoming to the social functions. We  will greatly miss Sushil. We express our deepest condolences to his entire family . May God bless his soul to rest in eternal peace and grant strength to his family for bearing this tremendous loss.

Sushil helped me prepare my taxes for many years. He helped me understand everything and broke it down so I could really learn how things work. He was so kind and had an ease in his presence. Thank you Sushil for the time we spent together.

Sushil Uncle will always live on in my heart. Thinking of him brings warmth, comfort, love, smiles, and light- I will always remember him as one of the kindest, most genuine, caring human beings I have had the privilege to know.  I am grateful to have had Uncle, Meera Aunty, and Vineet to be such an  important part of the Chattanooga village that helped raise, support, and shape us all.

Sushil was a dearest friend/brother to  both of us . He was a life of the party and stayed with us multiple times  as a family member. Even though he is not with us today but live in our hearts for ever. He left this world with great message for all of us behind.  Stay in touch with every one sooner than later. This is the latest picture of sushil from his last trip to chattanooga with his family. Our whole family adored him and will always be missed.

So very sorry to hear about Sushil.    I always enjoyed working with him and he was such a joy to be around.    I greatly appreciated the holiday cards he sent for so many years just to keep in touch.   With my thoughts and prayers,

What a wonderful person to work with at DuPont. Prayers for the entire family!

It is so sad to loose an old friend. 
Sushil was a life to all of his friends and the community.
He always ready to help everyone.
We all have spent wonderful time with Sushil.
We will miss him forever.

Our heartfelt condolences. We are still in shock as we have lost a very loving father in Mamaji!! We may not be there physically with you guys but our heart is with you always. Sharing some moments with Mamaji

Vineet:
I have known Meera and Sushil since  1973. His father was my husband’s teacher in Lahore. Ever since we have cherished the memories of Vineet’s. Birth, marriage and addition of Nalini to the family. Recently we met his grand sons at a party at Madan’s. He was a very loving brother, full of life, and a cherished soul. We pray God will give you strength to bear this sudden loss.

I worked under Sushil’s supervision shortly after transferring to DuPont’s  Chattanooga plant.  I worked for the company 42 years before retiring in 2022.  I can honestly say, Sushil was the best supervisor I ever had.  He genuinely cared about his people and always treated everyone with respect and kindness.  He will be sorely missed.

Our hearts go out to you, your two boys and all those who knew and loved him.   He was so proud of you and that was incredibly evident in the years we've known him.  May your hearts be at peace and may you find healing in the days ahead.  

With heartfelt sympathy, 
Stan and Renee Rector

Look at that smile!  Every time I saw him, he always had something to smile about.  😊

They were so perfect for one another and it brings me joy to hear that the family's solace is knowing that he is back in the arms of his bride.  Sushil's way with Meera exemplified the epitome of an honoring relationship between a man and his wife.  Always gentle, always kind, always supportive of any changes going on in their lives.  We were fortunate to have witnessed the two of them on many occasions and to learn the essence of patience with once another.

It meant a lot to have him and Meera at our wedding reception 16+ years ago.  He was always so supportive of the milestones in our lives and in our business and often invited us into his heart and his home to celebrate momentous occasions in his life as well.

Vineet and Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Know Uncle and Aunty are with you all always. Sorry for your loss, Sunny

Dear Vineet, Nandini, Jai & Krishen,

Shane, myself, Jasmine & Selina would like to offer our sincere condolences.  Uncle Sushil will be dearly missed.  We all loved sharing and spending special occasions with him, and the girls thought of him as a third Grandpa.  We will always cherish the memories we made with him, over the last 20 years.

May God Rest his Soul.

Love,
-Shane, Neeta, Jasmine & Selina

I've known Sushil since 2014 when he did my taxes and became a wonderful, trusted friend. Although I moved from Moorpark to
NC in 2017, we stayed in touch as friends, and he continued to
do my taxes. He was a wonderful, thoughtful man who will be greatly missed!
