Remembering our cousin Rushi

Today is 52nd birth anniversary of our cousin Thatha Rushi who passed away in Sep 2020 due to covid. We miss him a lot. He was a pillar of strength to us and many others.

He had strong bonding with his elder brother Srinu. He perfectly complemented his elder brother and they jointly grew the family business for last three plus decades into new heights. While his brother concentrated on execution, Rushi has concentrated on strategic aspects and planning. Both of them led by example on how brothers can work together complementing each other.

He had been a perfect father and uncle. He has taken great care of his children Jeevani and Dhanush as well as his brother’s children Praveen Kanna and Sowmya. They all grew up drawing strength from his guidance and upbringing.

He has been a sounding board from younger age to extended family members and has given moral and financial support to multiple of them.

He has a very wide friend circle in our home town Ongole. And lot of his friends reach out to him for advice and suggestions whenever they had to take critical decisions in their family and business.

He had built a strong relationship with all the customers of their business “Thatha Iron Company”. Every customer who visited the shop in last 7+ months after his passing away, remembers him and keep sharing the stories of their experiences and association with him in last few decades.

He will be always remembered by the people of Ongole town as one of the heirs of Thatha Pedda Kannaiah garu & Thatha Chinna Kannaiah garu who strengthened the family legacy.
