Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Jan 29: K Vishwanath (71), founder owner of Vishwa's, a city-based concern that has become household name for electronics and electrical goods of various brands, passed away in a private hospital here on Wednesday January 28. He was suffering from certain ailments. He is survived by wife, two sons, and a daughter.

Vishwanath had set up 'Vishwa Sales' in the erstwhile Woodside Hotel building in K S Rao Road with his efforts in the year 1976. He later started another concern, 'Vishwadeep', which dealt in decorative lightings. Thereafter, a showroom was opened in the adjacent 'Classic Arcade' which was his own building. 'Vipul Electronics and Cooling Engineers' was also started for sales and service for electronics and electrical equipment in the city.

Vishwanath had been the president of Rotary Club Mangaluru North in the past and member of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

    Mr. Vishwanath was a very good friend of mine. He used to call me brother. Able administrator, he used to run his establishments efficiently and honestly. As President of the Classique Arcade Owners Association, he has done a lot of good work for the improvement of facilities in the premises. We will all miss him for a long time to come. May his soul rest in peace. May the Almighty God grant the family fortitude and patience to bear this great loss. My heartfelt condolences to them all.

    Mr Vishwanath was my classmate in the evening college. Very good and jovial person he was. I had visited his shop a few days ago, purchased a fan and spoke to him. We recalled old golden college days. May his soul rest in peace.

    A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again….
    Dear Vivek and family members,
    May peace and comfort find you during this difficult time. We always remember your dad for his kind nature, soft words and his concern. Not to forget, because of him, way back in 1986, we had our first TV at home!
    Rest in peace!
