What a beautiful tribute to Kapil Melkote. It sounds like he was someone whose character truly touched the lives of everyone around him. Quiet strength, humor, and loyalty are such rare and precious qualities, and I’m sure his absence will be felt profoundly by his friends, family, and everyone in Chicago who had the honor of knowing him.

How are those closest to him coping with the loss, and are there any memorials or celebrations of his life planned?
