We owe him a huge debt for his tremendous service for so many years. Starting in Middleton Row street clinic, he worked for many years as our chief medical officer, and CEO. He continued until poor health made him retire to the Governing Council, where he continued to give expert advice, especially in the present, Covid crisis. CR extends its condolences to his wife and family. May all who mourn be comforted. May he rest in peace.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Calcutta Rescue Chief Executive said, \u201cMy colleagues are devastated at the news of Dr.Bobby\u2019s death. He was their mentor, their guide, their older brother, their Bobby da. He was always the voice of reason and balance. He always exuded warmth and affection for his team, and for CR\u2019s patients and students. He was always humble. He was a good listener. He was a great leader. I hope we can recover from the pain of his passing and continue to serve our beneficiaries to the best of our ability during this horrible pandemic. I am sure that is what Dr.Bobby would want.
