We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of Dr. Mohapatra. He and the family were very close to our family. What I did not know before he and I met here in USA, that he went to the same high school (Rairarangpur High School, Mayurbhanj) and he even knew my elder brother by name. My brother and his father were colleagues in the subdivisional HQ, Rairangpur.
Of course the way he was, an honest, vibrant, rugged soccer player, focused researcher, and community leader that in a crowd nobody would miss his presence. At the end he just died; no suffering, no pain, like a brave soldier in a vertically up position. He must be resting peacefully in the heaven.
