I had the pleasure of teaching with Kishin at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tennessee. His office was down the hall from mine. Often we would get together for lunch downtown in Jackson. We would discuss academic matters and we would learn from each other. Kishin was truly a gentleman and had a fine mind even in his 80s. We have not seen each other in several years but I am thankful our paths crossed. I will not be able to attend or view his service because my grandson has an event on the day of the funeral and this event will occupy me for the morning and into the late afternoon. I send my regards to Brenda and to his fine family. My life is better for having known Mr. Kishin Malkani. His gentle spirit and kind words will be missed by all who knew him.
