Sad Demise of Dr. Deodatta Gore

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Dr. Deodatta Hari Gore Age 46years,Ratnagiri (Maharashtra) , MS surgeon,

President of Guruprasad and Project Coordinator of Drop in Centre project has

passed away on 10 July 2010.

It was a big shock for all of us . He has done lot of work for the people living

with HIV. He was sincere, honest, transparent, sensitive, a man of extra

ordinary personality and intelligent too.

Whatever he has done in last few years in the field of HIV, nobody can achieve.

We lost an ideal person.

we all wish that His soul may rest in peace.

Yours sincerely

Dear all,

I did not know of Dr Deodatta Gore before. But from the little I read about him

from his colleagues' communication, he had a significant contribution towards

the alleviation of suffering of AIDS patients.

The passing away of a positive-minded person helping positive persons, that too

at such an early age, is always a great loss.

I hope others emulate his example.

With condolences to his family and colleagues at the Guruprasad Trust,

Dear Forum members,

 

Thanks, for everyone write for a gentle man like Dr.Deodatta gore, He is not a

CCM but he sacrificied his life for the community and more than that a clean

hand person in the Positive Network.

 

National and State level networks do not have time to write a codolence message,

but they will allegate on each other with big mail falgged off to layman to DG

NACO.

 

Let PLHIV community understand the motives of these warriors and take care of

themselves.

 

A big salute to Dr.Deodatta Gore, may you soul rest in peace.

Dear All,

I was deeply saddened to hear about the  passing away of Deodatta Gore. My

deepest sympathies and condolences to his family.

My first meeting with him was in the corridors of Avert office where he was

representing his trust for a meeting. A non-descript  'official' meeting  soon

turned into a long stimulating session of  brainstorming on topics  that went

beyond HIV.

Our medical background  and our shared interest in medical ethics saw us

meeting on more than one occasion and paving way for numerous telephone calls

and email exchanges.

I particularly remember the occasion when I had requested him to

write an article for a medical ethics journal that I was closely associated with

at that time, knowing well that his failing health and his official committments

would make it difficult for him to find the time.

The humble and sefless man that he was, Deo not only agreed to writing it but

also finished it in record time.

One of the most endearing qualities about him was his affability. To me he was

the quintessential 'gentleman' .I could not find any trace of ill feeling and

anger during the time I spent in his  company, a fact that many who knew him

vouched.

A noble and a kind soul in the true sense of the word.Many may not

have been aware of  the academic facet of his persona that somehow  got lost in

the long tireless hours of work with  Guruprasad Trust.

He was a  trail blazer in his medical school during the undergraduate and post

graduate days.

 

Life is sometimes cruel to snatch such a wonderful person from our midst at such

a young age. A man as humble and caring as him will always be remembered by

those of us who knew him.

Although we will miss him, we take consolation in the good feelings of our

memories.

His guidance and passion for the kind of work he did will carry many like me

through their journeys both in their personal and

professional lives.

Dear All

I was really sorry to hear the sad demise of Dr. Gore who was always very

conscious about his health and about his way of life after being detected as

PLHIV in 1994. After knowing his status he ran a clinic solely for PLHIV and

also an NGO named Guruprasad, one of the affiliated district level networks of

INP+ at Ratnagiri.

I had several opportunities to speak to Dr. Gore personally and knew him as a

proactive person who had dedicated his life in serving people living with HIV

and their families at Ratnagiri and the neighbourhood.

His clients to the clinic knows that his advises isn't hallow speech, but is a

result of personal and often bitter experience.

For a man who longed for death, Yoga coupled with medication kept Dr. Gore in

good health for 13 long years. When we heard the sad demise of Dr. Gore, INP+

family deeply mourned and prayed for HIS SOUL TO REST IN PEACE

We also thank Mr. Raju Reddy for reminding us to send condolence message to AIDS
