Audrey
When I was younger and would complain to my mom that my little brother Angelo was pulling my hair, breaking my stuff or doing a wide variety of annoying little brother things she would laugh and tell me stories about her little brother, my uncle Mohan, the original mischief maker.
She would tell me how as a young teenage girl, proud of her long, curly hair, she would painstakingly plait it before she slept each night. Until one morning she awoke to find Mohan uncle chopping off the entire braid!
She would tell me how he would grab his baby brother, our Cuckoo uncle, and put him in the back of his little red car and drive at terrifying speeds through their house, chasing my mom and Mahes aunty threatening to ram into their legs, while baby cuckoo uncles head dangerously bobbed from side to side.
Anyone who has since sat in Mohan Uncles car as an adult will know that his affinity for driving at terrifying speeds didn't stop with toy cars.
I remember when he got his silver integra. His first cool-guy car. Its parked in my moms garage and I can't look at without remembering all the things he taught me and how I looked up to him.
How he introduced me to the rootsy guitar sounds of Dire Straits, one of my all time favourite bands. How he teased me relentlessly but also taught me how to appreciate a good port wine after a meal.
And how we would argue.
Every Easter, every Christmas, when the big Turkey or Chicken or Steak or Sausages (I think everyone knows how much our family loves meat) would be pulled out, and I, as a vegetarian would have the potatoes and veggies that was the signal for Mohan uncle and I to start our tirade.
We would get into the most intense arguments that began with how good meat tasted, but soon ballooned into philosophical debates about what it meant to be Catholic and whether Jesus was a vegetarian. Mohan Uncle definitely gave me the best training for becoming a lawyer.
And these are just some of the ways I remember him. And the reasons I loved him.
Angelo
I have many stories and memories about my uncle too. I remember the times when I was much younger - he would put me on the handle bar of his bike and take me on cycling adventures. My mom, as you can imagine, was not keen on this idea, but I loved it.
Mohan uncle was infamous for teasing my mom and I loved to join him. On one occasion my Mom was telling everybody about this movie she had seen. Mom had a bit of a word slip and instead of saying, Antonio Banderas was acting in the movie, she said "Antonio Bandara" was the main star. Mohan uncle and I immediately made eye contact and jokingly asked mom if she wasn't mistaking this character with a Bollywood actor. And of course we never let up. Mohan uncle and I would ask mom every time she saw a movie if Antonio Bandara was acting in it - she was more than a little annoyed.
But for me, Mohan uncle was above anything else - the biggest Manchester United, and Boston Bruin fan. And I know I wasn't the only one who loved watching him scream at the TV whenever his teams were playing.
What most of the family will remember are the times him and I would get into heated debates covering our two favourite topics - 1) Soccer - regarding his beloved Man U, and my dear FCBarcelona.
The second - Hockey. My Detroit Red Wings pitted against his Bruins. I'll have to give it to him, he had the most recent win with the Bruins beating the Wings in seven- game playoff series.
These debates, often loud and obnoxious, would take place every time we met, thus angering the rest of the family. Even though I did not tell him this and now I wish I had - It was him that taught me what passion was and what it meant to support what you love.
Being my Godfather - Mohan uncle would always take me to church on my birthday and tell me the importance of maintaining faith. Even when he was being tested by God, Mohan uncle never lost his faith. Given what he went through, he is tougher than any "Big Bad Boston Bruin" or Manchester United player that has ever played.
I believe that if we look at his life, he is the prime example of a selfless man. He would always stick his neck out for others, and would never stop offering a hand in a time of need. There just wasn't enough of him to go around.
When he passed, I asked myself, why is it that I am not crying like the rest of my family?
I know this is because I believe he is in a better place. A place where - instead of being tired and sick - he is continuing his adventurous ways and waiting, with my Grandpa George, and Aunty Indira for us to eventually join them. I know he's somewhere up there with his cheeky grin - my uncle who refused to take a serious picture - speeding like there is no speed limit, or running from some bulls - like he did in Pamplona, Spain.
But while he was on earth we are so grateful that Mohan uncle found his soul mate and living guardian angel before he got sick. Karen, I cannot imagine him without you by his side - you are the ying to his yang. It wasn't the doctors that kept him alive, but his love for you. We love you and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

There is a young tree outside my dads house that I was walking past the other day, when I noticed all its leaves had already turned brown.
I thought to myself, but its only August, why have these leaves changed colour already? Isn't it too soon?
But this young tree had been through a lot. It had weathered the terrible storms of this past winter and survived when the heavy ice had broken much bigger trees.
It survived to see the Spring thaw and the children come out to play. As the weather warmed and the sun shone it provided shade, beauty and a place to park your bike.
It had seen all the seasons, all the smiling faces, and now it was time for it to rest.
So as I noticed where the green leaves had turned to orange then brown, and watched the leaves begin to fall - I knew that this was Gods way. It was sad to see such a young tree browning, when other trees remained green.
But this was not the end for the young tree. We know that the beauty of nature is that this tree will bloom again next Spring. That this is not the end.
That God created heaven and earth, the trees, all of us and our wonderful uncle Mohan too.
And though we are all sad to see such a young, vibrant, fun loving man, husband, son, brother, cousin and uncle go - I know in my heart, this is not the end.
It was just time for him to rest.
So even though our hearts are breaking and I know that you are all grieving too - instead of mourning his death we ask you to celebrate his life. And remember him the way he really was.
Every time you hear the smooth stylings of Mark Knopfler, cut into a juicy steak, scream at a television because Manchester United or the Boston Bruins won or lost or tied or whatever, get into a car and someone drives so fast your stomach leaps into your chest or when you kneel and pray, when you're faith reaches limits you didn't think were possible, and you believe whole-heartedly.
Remember our Mohan Uncle and smile, because he is smiling down with that cheeky grin at all of us.

Please accept our heartfelt condolence and deepest sympathies in your bereavement. Mohan was a soft spoken, goodhearted, well-mannered gentlman par excellence in every sense of the word, and had a striking resemblance to his father George in looks.. May his soul rest in peace. And may the good Lord give courage, confidence and peace of mind to withstand this terrible loss to Karen, Yogarany Aunty, Mahes, Kunja and Anslem. Along with me and Sharmini in Missauga, Canada, my brothers Aneclete ( Australia), Angelo from Australia, who is also the God-son of Mohan's dad George, Adrian from Australia and Alex from United KIngdom.
