Very Unfortunate as he is such a nice and a noble person Please accept our heartfelt condolences from Balla Family and our team Vijayamala, Ramachandran an Raghunandan with whom we have known him well for the last 4 yrs..in particular he has been working with me and the team on a project. We certainly miss him a lot. We are yet to come to the terms for his sudden loss..I had a trip to my native with him recently and on our way back dropped and met his dear Wife Leena. May his soul be rest in peace and May Lord give strength to his wife and two children Dale and Dylan to handle this tough situation. We talked on several occasions on his family wife and children and he is proud that both kids settled in Austraria ( during our recent trip to Pakala he was talking about).

Sorry to read about the sudden passing away of one more of our classmate in 2025. We knew him as Robert. Was always a calm quiet and unassuming character and let you his dislike when provoked by our typically pranky and notorious classmates. Heartfelt condolences to Leena, Dale and Dylan. May his soul rest in peace

My classmate in Aloysius School, I remember him as a lad with remarkable writing talent, quiet and almost reclusive but with a firm view on what he saw and observed, moved on to be a journalist of repute. I join in prayers.

As a colleague in DH for more than 20 years and as a friend for nearly 30 years, it will take some time to digest that Mike is no more. Ever loving, ever helpful and down to earth person, who kept himself very busy almost round the clock, will be remembered for a long time. May god give strength to his family members to bear the unbearable loss. Will miss you Mike. Adieu. May your soul rest in peace.

A sad loss indeed and very sudden i understand. Though not closely associated I met him in DH offices a few times. His articles had their own quality and later he wrote on other platforms too and his contributions are admired. May the Almighty give consolation to the bereaved near and dear and grant Michael Eternal Rest.

May Michel's soul rest in peace. He was reminding of my father who was working as Deccan Herald Correspondent from Udupi. May God give strength to Leena and children to bear the loss.
