It
is with a deep sense of sorrow that I learnt just now about the
demise of Shri S Masilamani at the Kilpauk Hospital chennai this
afternoon (17/2).He was 88.
Shri
'Masi' as he was popularly known to every one in LIC was more than a
mere friend or a former colleague to me. He was my partner in the law
firm of 'Sridhar&Masi' and we were practicing together as
advocates in the High court of Madras for nearly three decades after
our retirement from LIC.
A
person of varied interests in the fields of Law, Sports and public
affairs,he was a voracious reader. Being a bachelor ,books were his
only companions in his life.He was a rationalist in thoughts and I an
absolute believer but nothing could come in the way of a genuine
friendship between us which bound us both while in service and in
retirement. A person of impeccable character he was an eminent
'sports administrator' in LIC having successfully conducted several
athletic meets annually at several places in the country for LIC.
He
was a practical person who used to say that earlier we relieve the
pensioners of litigation in regard to their problems it would be
better.
I
have no words to express my personal sense of loss over his
demise.May his soul rest in peace!!

Sri GNS, You first gave the news about MPS, and now sri Masi. He was a close friend to me too. We came in contact through the field of sports. He was a distinguished Sports Promotion Board member in LIC and a thorough gentleman befitting the field of sports
he represented. It's a huge loss to all who knew him.
Who was there by his side to take care of his final rites etc? Did he have relatives? Did he own a house? I would like to know some of these details.
As for MPS , I knew him as a tireless crusader for the cause of pensioners. The first time I met him was on 2nd Feb in the combined meeting of the Associations. He did appear a bit weak though his spirits were high.
