Edi seemed so fit and healthy that I can’t believe he went as quickly as he did. For his sake I hope it was swift. We once spoke about this when he condoled with me about the loss of my parents after prolonged illness and he shared his mother’s illness around the same time.
I learnt a lot from him, about sustainable construction, about communications, making presentations, designing & publishing. His time management was impeccable.
His visits to India were always welcome and I enjoyed planning a meaningful itinerary for him. We kept in touch till a month ago. He loved India and Indian food, marvelling at our vegetarian fare. I had invited him to visit Chennai, Pondicherry and Kerala as my guest, places he missed during his tenure.
It is sad to have lost a good friend and colleague, my first link with Holcim Foundation.
Auf Wiedersehen Edi
