Shri R Narayanan was indeed a legend in LIC and I was naturally shaken rudely when I learnt about his passing away on the night of Tuesday the 1st April 2021.
A person with an extremely sharp intellect and known for his quick repartees ,shri Narayanan was equally affable and un- assuming. My relationship with him extended over a very long period from his days as SDM in the then Madras DO till he rose to the position of chairman as it coincided with my tenure as Gen.secy of the Federation of LIC class 1 officers' Associations. We used to have heated exchanges across the negotiating table but once we were out of the room he would revert to his natural and friendly manners.
After settling down at chennai on retirement he instantly enrolled himself as a member of our Association at my request.He had successfully battled against oral cancer but was known to be fairly in normal heath for over a decade after recovery. His advanced age was perhaps against him.
Shri Narayanan leaves behind his wife a son and a daughter to mourn his loss. It is reported that while his daughter and son in law were at his bedside when he breathed his last his son who is in US is expected to arrive today.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family and pray for his soul to rest in peace.' OM SHANTI.
