Obituary: Sri. B.V Vaitheeswaran
Sri. B.V Vaitheeswaran, husband of Dr. Chitra Vaitheeswaran, merged with the Divine on May 7, 2018 (Monday) in Connecticut. Thendral readers are familiar with Dr. Chitra as the columnist of the very popular 'Anbulla Snegithye'. Sri Vaitheeswaran is the affectionate father of Vijay/Michelle, Shoba/Steve Lemoine and grandfather of adorable Keila, Jasmin and Joseph.

Sri Vaitheeswaran migrated to USA from India with an engineering degree and secured MBA from USA. As an Engineer, he enjoyed very high reputation in the steel Industry and was always traveling globally. He retired as Executive Vice President of a steel company in Connecticut.

He embraced life in its entirety and was always open to exciting new projects and adventures both in his professional and personal life. His interests ranged from travel to fine cuisine; from New Orleans jazz to Indian classical music. He was a lover of Tamil literature.


A silent worker, he was the brain and strength behind Dr. Chitra in organizing many Temple, Religious and Cultural events.

Sri Vaitheeswaran enjoyed his retired life cruising in the Connecticut River in his boat. Or, traveling around with family and friends in USA in summer. Come winter, you can spot him attending music and dance festivals in India. He had a passion for visiting pilgrimages to holy places too. To top it all, he was an anonymous philanthropist with a heart of gold.
