Shy, I will always remember our times together! I will miss your energy, your laughter, and your friendship! Rest in peace my friend!
Shy, is a man that if you were fortunate enough to call him friend you were very lucky indeed. He is a very special soul that is now on to its next test. For his loving heart was the biggest part of this man’s life. Family and friends meant more to him than anything else, well except a good “toddy for the body”. He was passionate about life. Shy’s, was a warm light that glowed brightly and drew people to him. He lived life to the fullest. He had his faults as we all do, but they are not easily remembered. I can only find memories of a warm loving friend, who will be forever missed!!
I send all of you my thoughts and prayers!

The life of our beloved Sailesh masa, who was truly a humble, kind, and good-hearted person.
His caring nature extended to both his family and friends, and he touched the hearts of so many with his willingness to help whenever it was needed.
Personally, I will always be grateful for the courage and guidance he provided me during my stay in New Orleans.
His mentorship was invaluable, and his wisdom and kindness will stay with me forever.
Masa’s legacy will be one of kindness, and he will be remembered for his unwavering commitment to his loved ones.
We will miss him dearly,
but we take comfort in knowing that he has found peace in heaven. Rest in peace, Masa.

"Shy" was a fellow worker and dear friend to my son, Sherman (S.L.) Avans of Huntsville. I signed on and viewed the ceremony and liked it very much. On behalf of my son, I send my most sincere condolences to the family and all affected by his passing.

Shai was always a pleasure to work with at MAF both at work and offsite. My condolences to his family in their loss.
Q: What will you never forget about Shailesh?
A: Shy was kind, funny, full of what the Cajuns in Louisiana call: Laissez Le Bon Temp Roule (Let the good times roll) outlook on life. I met Shy & Smita, Shyam and Ram when my son went to Lake Castle in New Orleans, and then at Martin Marietta. My son Brandon thought Ms. Smita was the best cook and loved the food at their house. Shy was the best boss I ever had in my 42+ years there. I will miss you, my friend and I offer my condolences to Smita, Shyam & Angeles and Ram & Sonal. Terry
Smita and family,
Shailesh and I met in 1973 in Philadelphia. We had common interest of dancing and he was the core member of our group we called "Indian Artists Group (formed in 1974). Between 1974 and 1978 we performed several show together, including two TV Programs and participated in front of 26000 people celebrating Bicentennial year at Philadelphia Civic Center. He choreographed several dances.
He was a good man, fun loving, and honest to friends. He loved to play teen patti and enjoyed drinks. We had great time when he was in Philadelphia and in our community activity.
He will surely be missed by many including our close-knit grroup from last 50 years or so.
Our condolences to all of you. He will surely be missed.
May his soul reach eternal peace. Aum shanti.
