Dear Patrick,This is a big loss especially to all those who were fortunate to have been students of Ludo Rocher. He loved my daughters and was like a grand father to them, during Manjushree's visit to Philadelphia. Shubhangi and I visited him and Rosane at his home in Philadelphia a few years ago, and experienced the continued warmth of his affection. He was a true Guru to me. May he rest in peace. I have attached photo of Ludo and Rosane with his students.MadhavOn Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 8:58 AM, Olivelle, J P <jpo@austin.utexas.edu> wrote:Dear Friends:
I just received the news from Rosane Rocher, that our teacher and friend, Ludo Rocher, passed away last night peacefully. I am sure we will have a more detailed tribute to him, but he was not just a great scholar but a humble and loving teacher and friend.
With best wishes,
Patrick Olivelle
