Kashyap,

You were always a very kind and fine gentleman. That signature smile of yours - none of us can ever forget! My brother Ramana (your classmate from primary to high school) and I are honored to have known you.

Every time I think about this untimely demise, I am quite saddened. It is so damn unfair.

May your soul rest in peace.

Sanjay

Heartfelt condolences to Kashyap and his family - really shocked to hear sudden loss of Kashyap.

I can't forget the time we spent together in college for 3 yrs. Once again, heartfelt condolences..

I'm truly at a loss for words and deeply saddened to find out about Kashyap's untimely demise. I remember Kashyap from our middle school days at DMS, he always sported a big broad smile.

I was shocked to get this very sad news. I have seen him growing as a loving child. It is a irreparable loss to the family. His parents were my colleagues for many years. My his soul rest in peace!

I learnt of this very sad news only this week. Kash was my manager and friend. I was thankful to meet him in person when he came to the UK last year. I am very sad to learn of this news, he was such a lovely person, my thoughts are with the family.

Kashyap and me were classmates from grade 6 at DMS Mysore. We used to sit in the back bench in our class. I remember him as always energetic, smling and sportive.

My dear friend you will always remain in our hearts. May God rest your soul in peace.

May the Lord give your famiy the peace that exceeds all understanding and guard your hearts and mind in Lord our God.

love

Deeply saddened by Kashyap's passing on, it was indeed a shock to hear. I was his classmate for two years in DMS. Always remember him as a jovial and friendly person. My deepest condolences for the family.

I work in Verizon India and most of my interaction with Kash has been over calls or mails. I felt Kash was a calming voice amidst chaos at the workplace. He had sensible ideas that considered the long-term impacts of the decisions. I had the chance to meet him face to face briefly during my 2 day visit to Cedar Rapids last September and got to experience the personal side of Kash. He took me around, showed places of interest and we had dinner together and discussed a lot of interesting topics. News of his passing away came as a rude shock to me. I pray for his soul to rest in peace and for his family to find the strength to survive this huge loss.

Dear Handoo family and friends,

I was both shocked and saddened when I read of Kash's passing. My condolences to the entire family. You wrote a beautiful obituary, a perfect description of and tribute to Kash, the man.

Very saddened by the news. He was a great guy, full of life and always willing to help. He will be missed by more people than you know. May he rest in peace! My heartfelt condolences!!

Kashyap Handoo; the coolest uncle one could ever have. He was jovial and always had a mega watt smile on his face. There might have been a hurricane inside him but that one smile hid it so well. He was always a pillar of support for me in all my endeavours; sometimes even more than my parents. Partner in crime, 4 a.m. friend, fellow foodie, bollywood freak, excellent photographer, storehouse of knowledge...I fall short of titles; my dictionary fails me.

He is not gone. He lives through his children and the little things he taught me.

I just heard of the loss of "Kash". I am so sorry for the loss of this extraordinary man. I would meet in the halls at verizon and he always had a smile on his face. He also helped coach one of my sons on the myfa football team, the Irish. He always encouraged the boys to do their best. He was a kind and friendly man and will be extremely missed.

Nidhi so sorry to hear about kashyap ! Our deepest condolences to the family. You are in our prayers.

Kash, I got to know you during those arduous Arbor Decom project meetings, for which you always saved some laughs in reserve for when they were needed. Even though I never really worked with you again after that, we had many a great conversation and laughs in the work hallways since. God bless.

So sad to hear about Kash. Such a neat man with a personality that filled a room. We worked together at Verizon for yrs. Please know u have our thoughts n prayers in the difficult days ahead. He was an amazing man.

Kadhyap was a brilliant, positive, helpful, kind,energetic human being. He believed in the basic principal of life, Love >Live & Laugh. His memories will always remain fresh. May his soul rest in peace. May GOD ALMIGHTY give his family & his parents strength to bear this great loss.

Om Tat Sat.

Raginya,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He sounds like an amazing man and father. He definitely left amazing qualities with you. Please know that you can lean on your North Central family when needed and we will be here with open arms.

Kashyap and I were classmates from 1st to 10th standard in Mysore. Shocked to hear about the sudden and untimely departure. He was always cheerful and so full of life. There are nice memories of our school days. May God give his family strength to cope with this terrible loss.

Dear Nidhi,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I know that there is little I can say to console you but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this tragic time. Also please do let me know if I can be of any assistance to you.

Our wonderful friend Kash joined Computer Horizons and came to Cedar Rapids back in 1996. Kash was just one of a handful of consultants we had working for us back then. However he quickly became a star and a warm friendly face both at our client, MCI and in our office. In so many ways he helped grow our local office and become a pillar to build around. My sympathies to you Nidhi, Raginya, Kalhan, Jawaharlal and Lalita, Know that he improved many lives while here on earth and I am sure his radiant smile will be bringing happiness everywhere forever.

My familiy and I are so sorry for your loss. My heart is still breaking knowing that we are not going to see him out in the community. Kash always had a smile on his face! He was such a positive person that showed so much emotion for everything he did and what his family did. I loved the energy he had at Kalhan's and Lucas's sporting events! Those are memories we will not forget! Kash will truely be missed by my family as well others in the community. Please take care and call on us at anytime for help.

Nidhi, my heart cries for you! From the very first time I met Kash, I could instantly see why you two were meant to be together. His energy and zest for life was contagious and he always had a perpetual smile on his face. You and your family will be in our hearts and prayers.

My heart is filled with sadness upon hearing that Mr. Handoo had passed away. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Raginya at North Central Junior High these past 2 years. I can see that Raginya has had a wonderful upbringing with the positive, outgoing and studious person she is and I can only imagine that Mr. Handoo was a wonderful role model. I wish your family peace through loving memories of the father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers as you remember him in services this week!

I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news. I worked closely with Kash on the Verizon billing programs. Kash was a very knowledgeable and a committed person. He showed me around Cedar Rapids while I visited the place for a few days. He will be remembered by a lot of people like me across the globe whom he has helped professionally and personally. Will pray for his soul to rest in peace.

Dear Nidhi & Family, I am deeply saddened by this unexpected loss. I worked with Kash a couple of years from 1998 at MCI. He was a mentor to me then as i had recently arrived to the U.S. Our team used to call him Kash-man for his technical skills. For the past 3 years I again had the opportunity to meet him often. As before, he continued to set an example to me for being happy, positive, proactive, being prepared, being inspired, supportive and many many more. I had considered him a friend but this loss has shown me that he has been family all along. Such was his endearing nature. My sincere prayers for you to get the strength to cope up with this irreparable loss. Rest in peace Kash-Man.

To Kash's family; we are deeply sorry for the recent and unexpected loss of Kash. His honorable, ethical, and gentle way of life will be deeply missed by absolutely everyone he touched during his very short time with us. Kash shared life lessons that have made all of us better people. Sincerely, Natalie Stallman family

Deeply anguished by this sudden calamity. May his soul rest in peace

Such a kind and thoughtful person has left us too soon. Kash was always interested in everything and everyone. We chatted about our families, our yards, vegetables, trees whatever! And it was always fun and entertaining. Kash is missed already.

Shocked and saddened with this news. Kash will always be remembered for his helping nature. Our thoughts and prayers are with entire family and friends.

Kash, you will be missed. You helped me understand the complexities of PB and I would not have gotten so far there without you. Your laugh, your love, your understanding and your brightness will be missed by all who have crossed your path.

I am deeply saddened and shocked. Kash was a wonderful human being and a thorough gentleman - so helpful, kind, jovial, caring and friendly. I still cannot believe that he is gone. He has left a void in our hearts; he will always be fondly remembered. RIP.

Dear Nidhi & family, I met Kash 21 years ago to start a new phase in our individual life journey leaving India in our 20s as 2 young explorers full of dreams. Right from my 1st interaction I remembered him a very cheerful friendly person who loved travelling, good food, humor, and experiencing life to its fullest. I had the opportunity to spend a very joyful one year with Kash working in the same team, sharing the same house, and visiting together many touristic places in UK. He also loved driving long distances, being a cameraman, and being our guide taking many of us with him while we were a bit shy of driving! May his soul rest in peace attaining moksha/nirvana. May Almighty God bless you all with strength & courage to continue on your paths without Kash however with precious memories that he has left behind in such a short life.

Dear Kashyap.

Wherever you are, if you can read this, please know that you will be sorely missed. You have touched everyone's heart in a very special way.

I will remember you as a warm, jovial, caring person and a doting father. I still have a wa message from you where you said you treat your daughter like a princess and are firm with your son . About how you involve yourself deeply with them through sports.

They will need to make it now without you but I am sure your spirit will keep them going. Our heart goes out to your wife and parents too.

Go in peace Kashyap, see you on the other side, friend.

With prayers, Radhika.

We all are in grief . Dear , Nidhi may god give you courage to bear this loss . We will miss him on every moment . May god give us courage to bear this loss

Kashyap

You were always one of the really good guys. rFom the time you were a little kid, you never had a malicious or bad-tempered bone in your body. By all accounts, you carried these qualities into your adult life .

The DMS batch of 1982 is going to miss you. All our best wishes to your wife and kids, and your parents and sister and family.

RIP Kashyap Handoo

Harish

I'm so sorry to hear of Kash's passing. I worked with him for several years. What a wonderful, happy man. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear about Kash. He was such a pleasant parent to work with.

You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Kash was a true friend. I loved him. We had a lot of good times together. He always made a point to call or text me on my birthday. My fondest memory of Kash would be every time we went out to eat he would always say "lemonade no ice please" and then he would look at me and say.. "I just don't understand why they can't automatically serve it without ice". We got to laughing about it every time we went to lunch. You will be truly missed Kash. Luv you!

Alas, you've gone away,

Leaving all of us at bay.

Never to come back again,

Gone with the wind, and the rain.

I was shocked when I was told about Kash's passing. It is painful to know that, someone you work with every day is no more. I have worked very closely with Kash since Feb 2013. I met him last year when he visited Verizon India. He took all of us for a lunch and we had great time. He talked about his kids and how difficult it is to stay away from them due to the travel. Photo taken during his India visit. May god give strength to Kash's family to go through this difficult time. Rest in peace!

So sorry to hear about your loss Nidhi. You and your whole family is in our prayers.

Dear Nidhi,

We are really sorry for your loss. At this difficult time, we would like to express our deepest sympathies for you and your family.

You and your family are in our thoughts.

Yong, Jane and Jonathan

Kash will be missed a lot. A genuine nice guy with a talent for getting to the bottom of things.

Handoo family - Please accept our sincere condolences from Verizon India.

Kash I will always remember our DMS days and cherish the time spent with you.

Dear Nidhi,

Kash was a colleague and more importantly a friend who would go out of his way to ensure all was good. I will miss his bigger than life personality and our long conversations. Please accept my sincere condolences and cherish the time you had together. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.

Very sorry to hear, we were together in london 20 years ago and during that time also he was most daring & helpful

Dear Nidhi and Handoo family,

I am very sorry and shocked to hear about Kashyap's passing. Even though I met Kash just for a short time, I can feel his kindness and how wonderful he was to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. My heart and prayers are with you and the kids during this difficult time. Be strong and positive as you always are.

Dear Nidhi and Handoo family,

I am sorry and shocked to hear the news that Kash is no longer with us. I worked with Kash at MCI and also stayed in the same apartment complex in Cedar Rapids.I had spent many Lunch & Dinners with Kash . I also traveled with him to all corners of USA during long weekends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Good Bye my friend and I am going to miss You.

Kash was a co-worker who helped me in many ways. He always had time for a question. He always made sure I understood the answer. He was a man of his word. He was well-respected by those he knew. I am sure he will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends as they mourn the loss of a good man.

I 1st saw Kashyap as an bubbly young boy always having fun with his sister. He had pranks up his sleeve which kept us amused. The last I saw him was at his wedding and that too very briefly. Will miss you!!! But, you will always be alive in our memories.

Dr. Handoo,

Dear Handoo family,

So terribly sorry to hear of your tragic loss. You are all in our prayers.

Dr. Handoo,

Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan-Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and our hearts go out to you. Kash was a wonderfully kind person-definitely full of life, which reflects in you Nidhi and your children. You have a community behind you with open arms. Much love to all of you-

Chris, Frank and Max Lenane

I echo what many others have expressed in their memories of Kash. Always quick with the large smile and booming laugh - he had a zest for all that he did to the 100th degree. I loved our good natured debates on his love of all things Hawkeye. I will miss his presence in our office, his intelligence and insight on the many things we worked on together including a few that were very long and stressful and Kash never waivered in his positive attitude and "can do" attitude.

Outside of work - if you wanted to get Kash really excited, you just had to ask him about his children. His enthusiasm, support and love for Raginya and Kalhan was so present and visible in all that he did. I recall so many times running into Kash at Team Iowa events and he was always at every event - the positive parent on the sidelines that all parents should model. No matter what was going on at work with weekend migrations, production issues, etc, he had his phone in hand but was there giving 100% to all that he did and was. He was a presence in everything he did. A larger then life presence that will not be forgotten.

He will be missed.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news.

I went to school with Kashyap and Heemal.

I hope the family finds the strength to Get through this.

Nidhi, Raginya & Kalhan, shock does not fully describe my feelings when I was notified of Kash's passing. He was truly a one of a kind man who had experienced a full life in a short period of time. In many conversations I had with him, his primary focus was on the three of you. Nothing else brought him more joy than being surrounded by his family. When someone became Kash's friend, you were his friend for life and you could contact him with any question and he was there to assist. Although his life was short, the memories he left behind will last for years and years to come through you, Raginya & Kalhan. Always keep Kash in your hearts with the warmth and cheerfulness that he would want. As all of you pass through this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with all of your family members. May a peace surround you at this time with love from family members and friends of Kash. God bless the three of you and Kash's family members as they travel to the US.

Kash had a zest for living life to the fullest. In the 20 years I have known Kash, he always had a smile and a friendly word for everyone. I will miss his friendship, leadership, and laughter very much. My deepest sympathy to Kash's family. While he has physically passed, he will never be forgotten in my heart and many memories. --Cherry

Dear Nidhi,

We all will miss you - KASH ! Our thoughts and prayers are with entire family and friends.

Nidhi I am so sorry for your loss. I know this is so sudden and it must be really hard for you and the kids. Stay strong and we will keep you and your lovely kids in our prayers. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to Kash's family and all who knew him.

Kash is one of the good ones. The world can hardly afford to lose one with such a happy , helpful and calm spirit as Kash.

For the time I worked with him I can say that he went out of his way to make things better for everyone. One of few bright memories of working in the office.

God speed to you Kash

Dear Kash,

Shocked and Speechless - Greatest human being and a Friend I have come across in my life

Our thoughts and prayers are with Kash's family at this difficult time.

Kash was an extrodinary person because he practice the kindness to his neighbor that most of us believe is a lofty goal. His calm rich voice always soothed. His kindness and patience guided others to succeed. His willingness to listen made him accessable to all of us. Thank you to his family for sharing him with us.

Kash .. We met in (Chennai) India in the month of August 2014 while he came for a Business visit. I was so happy to meet such a humble person in a management position. He was so enthusiastic and even came along with me for one of my presentation. I am just reading through his feedback mail again with a shock. It's terrible to hear about his loss and I express my sincere sympathy to his family.

This is very sad and shocking news. Kash was a great person, always ready to help. Please accept my condolences on your tragic loss. May God give you strength to bear this loss.

The Tampa, Fl Team is shocked and saddened by the news of Kash's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, may God give them great strength to bear the loss.

Condolences to the Handoo family. Kashyap will be missed at Verizon.

Nidhi,

James and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Kash. What an amazing and genuinely wonderful man. We had the pleasure of getting to know him and all of your family through the sport of basketball and I can't express enough how much we appreciated working with your children and both of you.

His smile and caring personality will be greatly missed by all that had the chance to know him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

James & Peg Moses

Jade, Lex & Jaylon

Dear Nidhi,

I was shocked when I heard this news. Kash was a very energetic and enthusiastic human being. Above all, he was a very kind person. When he visited India this time, I met him with my husband and son. I have his last memorable pic to share.

May God rest his soul in peace.

Stay Strong!!.

Dear Nidhi,

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Cherish the smiles, hugs and memories of your loved one.

Dear Nidhi,

I'm deeply sorry to hear that dear Kashyap is no longer amongst us. He was my senior in SJCE Mysore while studying MCA. He was a fun guy , always showing his bright smile, neatly combed hair and everyone liked him so much . I was surprised he could speak Kannada so fluently. We would talk in the college campus all the time. I miss him.

Words cannot describe my sadness for Kash's family . I have worked with Kash for many years and he will be missed greatly; not only for his devotion to his job but also for his warm soul. He had a passion for life; he beamed in speaking of his family - a deep love for his wife and children.

My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to Kashyap's family, his parents and all his friends. I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear that he passed away at such a young age. We went to the same school (DMS) in Mysore, rode the same school bus and lived close by in Saraswathipuram. He was such a fun loving, happy and caring person. Although we never got a chance to meet each other for several decades, his memory is deeply etched in my heart forever. May God give his family the strength and fortitude to bear this tragic loss.

Nidhi,

Dearest Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan:

We at Team Iowa are so very sorry for your loss. May you feel peace in your hearts and may your mind be filled with fond memories.

I've known Ash for quite a few years now, but finally got to meet him few months back during his visit to the UK. We all had a very nice team lunch at work, and had such a good laugh with him on his India experience.

Ash was truly an amazing person to know and work with. Very cheerful and full of life. This world has lost a true Gem, who was just unique in his own ways.

My heartedly condolences are with Nithi and the family. May God give you strength and courage to face this hard time.

Kash will always stay in our memories/heart.

"I hear: I forget / I see: I remember / I do: I understand"

I was always amazed at how everywhere Kash went, he would know a lot of people. And all of these people would greet him like their favorite uncle. His presence will obviously be missed by his close knit family, but also by a much larger community of people. Over the last three years, I have sat with Kash on numerous occasions while our sons played basketball together. I will greatly miss that comradery and the enthusiasm he shared with others.

Dearest Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan,

Deeply saddened to hear of Kash's passing, my thoughts are with his family and friends.

I have enjoyed the work relationship with Kash and his often very healthy view on what really counts in life.

It is always difficult to lose a loved one, and the time is never right. I pray that the family will find strength and consolation in these difficult days.

I had the pleasure of working with Kash for two years, I had never had a boss who cared for his team as much as he did. I am shocked and saddened to find out he is gone. My heart goes out to his family.

Hello Mrs.Nidhi,

I am very sorry for your loss. Kash has been a great mentor for me in PB. More than just work he has been a very dear friend and always been a positive impact. At tough times he has given advice and positive outlook to life. I am still in shock and just refusing to believe that I have lost my friend. He has told me stories about his passion to be a coach and how he loved and enjoyed the games he has been a part of. I know that no words can help ease the pain for his loss, I pray God to give you and your family the strength. May his soul rest in peace.

Papa Jee (Kash) we miss you. You are always in the heart of people

very much sad to hear this. Our deepest condolences. May his soul rest in peace.

Oh Nidhi. What a shocking loss for you and your children and I'm so sorry you all have to go through this sorrow. I didn't know Kash but do know how happy you were as a family. That happiness will live on in your children. Love to you, Karen

Dr. Handoo, please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. Though I never met your husband, I'm sure he was a warm, compassionate, and fantastic person to match your own vibrance and kind heart.

Kash is an inspiration for me, he is a genius and a very good human being. I always talk to him daily and he is a solution provider for all problem. He always suggest me do what you like . It's tuff time for all of us. I will pray to god which give strength to all of us. My condolences to Nithi, kids and family.

Dear Nidhi and family,

I am deeply saddened by the shocking news. I have never met Kash personally but always heard him on work related calls. I have lost the opportunity to see a great man. I pray for the comfort, and strength that his family will need at this tragic time. May God shower his blessings to the family, and the departed soul.

Kash was such a wonderful person. He was always here for us to lean on and learn from. He was always laughing and smiling... and making sure we knew he was here for us. Both for Work and Home. I know from personal experience, he was always willing to help out when help was needed both at work and at home. Please know that our thoughts and Prayers are with Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan at this trying time.

I am so saddened by the news of Kash's passing. My sincere condolences go out to his family at this very difficult time. Kash was a truly amazing and wonderful friend and co-worker. He was definitely full of life and laughter and no matter how busy he was he always had time for a kind word or to just listen when you needed him to. He will be greatly missed by all - this is a terrible loss!! All my thoughts and prayers are being sent to the family.

I am deeply saddened by this news, I had the opportunity to talk with him, and he always was a great man, with a big personality. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to his family.

We are deeply saddened to learn of Kash's death. He always brightened the lives of those around him. He will be missed by all of us who knew him

Dear Nidhi, Please accept our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our prayers are with you and the kids during this most difficult time. Every image we can recollect of Kash is of a very lively and energetic person. He always had a positive attitude and we feel very lucky to have known him. Vasavi & Syed

Your dexterous wit will haunt us long, wounding our grief with yesterday, your laughter is a broken song; and death has found you, kind and gay. We may forget those transient things, that made your charm and our delight, but loyal love has deathless wings, that rise and triumph out of the night. So, in the days to come, your name shall be as music that ascends, when honor turns a heart from shameO heart of hearts! O friends of friends! - Siegfried Sassoon

Deeply saddened by Kash's untimely demise. He was always a jolly person to be around. I fondly remember him from working with him in MCI and other social events.

Nidhi,

We were all so saddened to hear of Kash's sudden passing. I always so enjoyed speaking to Kash at the kid's sporting events. He was such a kind, sweet man!

Please know that we are all thinking of you, Raginya and Kalhan during this difficult time. Please don't hesitate to call if you need anything.

Our thoughts are with you,

Sincerely, Melody, Jakeb, Jaclyn and Jayson Bakken

My thoughts and prayers are with Kash's family and friends. Kash was always very welcoming and friendly on all of my visits to work with Verizon in Cedar Rapids. He will be missed by all who knew him. Rest in peace, Kash.

Nidhi & kids,

I'm so sorry for your loss. At this difficult time I just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kashyap, you were one of the nicest person I knew, you will always remain in our memories. I am very thankful for you for creating our school group which brought many of us together. Rest in peace, our prayers are with your family- sandhya

Even though I have only worked under Kash for 11 months now, it always felt like I have known him for a long time. It never felt like I was working under him but rather working with him. His amazing personality and his love for his family and friends was infectious and I am glad to have caught it. A great father, a great friend, a great boss and more importantly, a great human being.

We will miss you Kash. Take care big guy.

When I transferred from HK office to US office in 2013, Kash encouraged me to call him if I needed any help during my settle down period. He always added anything, anything you need. I didn't contact him for the first week since I knew it's quite a hassle, even for a nice guy like him, to guide someone remotely and also those things to do like bank account opening, visiting DMV, searching a house, etc. could be different between Iowa and Virginia.

However, I realized he was really worried about me, who has no relative and any friend in Virginia, and like to help when he sent me messages and we chatted about my new US life.

He advised many helpful tips and tried to pull his friend in Virginia to help me locally.

He is one of nicest and thoughtful persons I've ever met.

When I heard this sad news, the first thing in my mind was why God takes such a good person like Kash who helps others and the world better. I miss him already

What a sad loss :-( Kashyap was such a jovial, happy person. I went to school with him in DMS in Mysore. He was so full of life. He was instrumental in connecting all the class of 1982 via yahoo group, whatsapp, reunions etc. We will all miss him.

Kash had a big booming personality and a smile to match. He was always happy to see you and always willing to help. He will be greatly missed.

Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan My thoughts and prayers are with you. Kash is an amazing person and his smile and heart brought joy to so many people. I cannot remember a time that Kash and I crossed paths that he did not have the greatest smile and expression of joy on his face, whether it was diving in the sand on the volleyball courts or walking through the halls of work. I still remember back when I didn't know him well but would often see him, and would just remember him as the fun guy with the infectious smile.

He was one that always brightened the days of those around you. Although he was very busy, I was lucky to have lunch with him awhile back. I am thankful we had that time together. We had a great conversation and his love for his family and children was a big part of it. He truly enjoyed coaching and watching his children grow in their activities.

My deepest sympathy is with you. I wish you many blessings and that Kash's infectious spirit continues to be a part of you and blesses your lives.

My heartfelt condolences to Kash's family. It is still a shock to me that a guy so full of life is no longer with us. The man was a joy to work with and to play with.

You should have seen this guy in the volleyball pits.....amazingly quick and agile for a big guy and he could jump to the sky.

Rest in peace, brother...you are missed.

Why I did not know Kash well, it was clear what a wonderful guy he was. He always greeted me with a big smile and was quick to offer his help. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kash your sudden demise came as a shock to me, cant believe that you are no more, I've known you for 5 Year's, always a good moment and a smile when you are around, now there would be no more Chats, lunch together, smiles together. May your Soul Rest In Peace and give your family all the strength they need to overcome the grief and pain. Will miss U forever....

Dear Nidhi, we are very very saddened to hear of your sudden loss. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. please accept our heartfelt condolences. we pray to God to give you and kids all the strength during this tragic time.

our deepest condolences,

Raghavan and Anitha.

Raginya, your dad must have been an amazing man. I can confidently say that because he raised such a wonderful daughter. I'm so sorry to hear about your terrible loss. All my thoughts with you and your family.

Kash was more than just a good man - he was a great man. He had a smile for everyone he knew, and even those he did not. He made a great impact on people around him, especially kids. He was always full of encouraging words and praise for kids, coaches and parents - even those on opposing teams. He saw the good in everyone and wanted nothing more than for the kids to have fun. He lifted up those around him. I know my life, and the life of my son, is better because Kash was a part of it.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family Raginya. All the wonderful qualities your dad had were obviously passed onto you. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I missed you when I moved from Cedar Rapids to Tampa and am yet to come to terms with the thought you are no longer with us.

I get up from my work and could see you working opposite all the time. Still, you always had time to keep everything aside to welcome with your broad smile and cheerful greetings and talk to me, whenever I dropped by. Your views were so wide, creative and insightful that I cherish them for ever. You had such an unique rich flair with language too - Hindi or English. I am sure Heaven is going to be a different and better place with your arrival. My prayers.

My most sincere condolences go out to his family and good friends. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Kash knows what a truly special person he was. He will be greatly missed.

Although I did not know Kash extremely well and we had never met in person, I could tell what a free-thinking, caring person he was. We had just had a chat after a difficult release and he mentioned that he was looking forward to relaxing outside and LOOKING AT THE SKY. That really made me feel so optimistic. I will personally miss Kash and am extremely saddened that he is no longer with us and feel lucky to have been touched in my life by Kash. I wish much comfort to Nidhi, Raginya and Kalhan - sending prayers your way.

Deeply saddened and shocked with this news. we lost a yodha, who fights any problem with his smile. we lost a guru to many. we lost a pathfinder to many. May his soul rest in peace . My deep condolences to his family. May god give all the strength to them to recover from this greatest pain.

You were a great guy alive and kicking. We had lots of fun playing basket ball.

I pray the family have the strength to tide over this difficult time with hope of a future.

Nidhi and family, we were heartbroken to hear about Kash's passing. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Kash touched many people's lives, including mine. We had fun playing volleyball with fellow CHC'ers many years ago. It was fantastic running into you and your family at that basketball tournament several months ago. I will cherish the memories I have. Kash had an amazing spirit, and I was grateful to know him. Please know we are thinking of you and saying prayers.

We are terribly saddened to hear this and our memories with Mr. Kashyup Handoo during 1998 - 2002 is always with us. He taught us so much and learnt so much from him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Kashyup's family and I pray god to have speedy recovery from this irreparable loss.

Nidhi, Reginya, Kalhan,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our family thought the world of Kash. He always had a smile on his face and kind words to say. His positive attitude and encouragement of all the boys was always appreciated at Kalhan's Team Iowa games. He will be greatly missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Kash. I offer my deepest condolences to Nidhi and her fantastic family.

Please spread the word, if you are able to come on Wednesday please wear your favorite Hawkeye apparel to honor Kash!

Oh Nidhi...........So many thoughts and prayers and hugs to you and your kids.....so very sorry to hear of your loss. Your Oral Path family are all here for you Dear!

Kashyap and Nidhi have been very near and dear to our hearts. They are in some of our fondest memories of our past. Extremely saddened and shocked by this news... Why does God always take the best ones early. We are here for you through these tough times Nidhi and family. Our deepest condolences. May his soul rest in peace.

Kash was a wonderful neighbor and friend to us. Steve enjoyed their conversations outside and always had a smile afterwards. He was a fantastic father and husband. We will miss him.

Dear Handoo Family,

I am saddened by your loss. North Central Junior High will pull together for you, Raginya.

Sincerely,

Susie Corbin-Muir

Words of sympathy do not seem adequate at times like this. My thoughts are with you and your family as you struggle to make sense of this all. Hugs to you.

I am wishing Nidhi and her family love and hugs in this HORRIBLE time. Kash was such a great guy, he would do anything for you. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. He lived his life for his kids and his world revolved around them. He will be missed by so many but no one more than his kids and by Nidhi. Everyone please keep Nidhi and the kids in in your prayers more importantly remember she will need all her friends in the upcoming months the most. Just offer, don't ask her to let you know if she needs anything, because anyone who knows Nidhi knows she will not ask.

Kash is in my heart and prayers, he will live on forever in us!

Nidhi and family - I am so sorry to learn of this devastating news. You are in my thoughts.

Nidhi,

Nidhi, I am really shocked, and saddened to hear of your loss. My sincere condolences to you, kids and family.
