It's not death itself that hurts, but death of a kind man that's painful. I didn't know him personally, just took a course with him in the summer of 2008 which ended in approx three months, but in those three months I grew to respect him (which seldom happens); as a person. He would never shy away from answering the most irritating questions and more than that he was a kind teacher. How many people would smile and be polite and exchange pleasantries without any reason? How many teachers would go an extra mile to make their students comfortable? Sadly not many … and now there's one less a person who did.
His family lost a kind man and we lost a kind, loyal teacher. Amidst other sulky, angry inefficient teachers, the man was nothing less than an asset.
Mr. Shamim Khan is going to be missed profusely. May his soul rest in peace (Amen)
