அருமை நண்பர் திரு.வசந்தகுமார் அவர்களின் மறைவு மிகுந்த வருத்தமளிக்கிறது. அவர் குடும்பத்தாருக்கும், அவரைச் சார்ந்த அனைவருக்கும் என் ஆழ்ந்த அனுதாபங்கள். அவர் ஆத்மா சாந்தியடைய இறைவனை வேண்டுகிறேன்.

நடுத்தரக் குடும்பங்களின் வலியறிந்து, வியாபாரத்தை வளர்த்தவர். தன்னுடைய வளர்ச்சியோடு தன்னை சுற்றியிருந்தோரையும் முன்னேற்றியவர். அரசியலிலும் கறை படியாது வாழ்ந்து, மறைந்த திரு. வசந்தகுமார் அவர்களின் மறைவு தமிழகத்திற்கே இழப்பு.
