  2. We remember Raman as a very kind hearted gentle person. He was blessed with musical talents. He was a percussion player for our Church Carol Services and special Anniversary Services for many years.
    We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Mrs Jayalakshimi Raman and her family. Our prayers are with them during this difficult time.

  3. A marvelous and remarkable man whose life is full of joy, dedications and charms.
    It is preposterous to simply forget the days with Ramu whenever we were holidaying in Perth.
    Our first trip to Perth, wonderful Ramu brought us to a drinking club(Pub-like) and to a place where Ramu would participate in a band
    His fingers’ movements on the tabla were so fast that you cannot afford to blink in case you missed a beat!
    Ramu could perform humongous tasks, although rarely an introvert.
    BUT!
    When Ramu did talk.He’d reveal his gregarious self!

    To a man affectionately known as Ramu

    Rest In Peace

    Always in our 💓

    Love,

    Your little sister Rajam
    Your bro-in-law Andrew

  4. Uncle Ramu, you will definitely be sorely missed by all of us. You have touched our lives with that infectious smile, laughter, song and not forgetting dance! Remembering you only brings good memories, smiles and laughter to us all. You are the only person I know that can ‘pluck’ mangoes from the ceiling lamps at Teban Gardens! Knowing that you are now with Pathi, Tata and the rest of the gang, we are happy you are no longer suffering. We will miss you dearly Uncle Ramu, thank you for the good memories. We love you.

  5. I always remembered Ramu Anna as a cheerful person with a smile on his face. Talented musician and good friend. I had the opportunity to spend some time with him in Perth and I cherish every moment of it and his demise was a shocking loss. I believe his soul will Rest In Peace. May the Lord bless his soul.

  6. I vividly remember Ramu as fun-loving musician. My last recollection of him was playing the Congas at a Deepavali festival at Murdoch University in 1999. A lively, light-hearted person, whose demeanour certainly belies his percussive prowess.

    The last I saw Ramu on stage playing the Congas was at the Annual Deepavali show at Murdoch University in 1999.

  10. We miss you Uncle Ramu. You always had the jokes and you brought the music 🎶 . Your beats are heard on the table, tabla, sitar and even with two pieces of Lego. Not forgetting shawl dancing! Not many people knew how to keep up with you.
    It has been a tough week for me knowing that I did not get to see and hug you one last time but I know you’re having a party with the best lot of people in the most beautiful place. ❤ I love you and miss you.

    To my family in Perth, aunty, cousins, inlaws, nephews and nieces- I will see you soon. Love you guys lots. ❤
