Sam Davidson
Hi Deshpande family,
My name is Sam Davidson. I worked with Avinash for many years (my company sold Avinash some of his technology solutions; I did not actually work for SPC). I just scheduled my first meeting with the I.T. team at SPC since Avinash passed. Wow, that was tough. I miss my friend. Avinash was, as all of you know, a very special guy.
I think my favorite thing about him was this: No matter what was going on, or what the situation, he took the time to ask "how are you doing." Now, this might not seem that special, but IT WAS. Everybody asks "how are you doing." BUT, Avinash was that rare man that actually cared about your answer. That was wonderful. I'm dreading going to SPC later this month and not having my friend to talk to. I'm sure, however, that my grief and sadness is only a fraction of what you are all feeling, so please accept my thoughts and prayers.
Sam
