I want to share the sad news that Mr. T. V. Narayanan passed away in India, two days ago, of a brief illness. He is survived by his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and 3 grandchildren. We will miss him dearly.

Here is an article he wrote for HD: https://humbledollar.com/2023/07/come-a-long-way/

He says in this article that he must have read just about every column that Jonathan Clements wrote as a personal finance columnist for the Journal and learned much from them. He has read every investment book he could find, including those by Jonathan, Burton Malkiel, John Bogle, Charles Ellis, William Bernstein, Larry Swedroe, Jeremy Siegel and many others. This financial knowledge helped him very well. He advised many on investments. He was one of the most humble persons, I have ever met.

He introduced me to Humble Dollar, for which I am very grateful.
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. May his soul rest in peace.

Thanks, Sundar for sharing the article about T.V. As a legal immigrant to another who came to this country the same year but as a 16 years old boy finishing his last 2 years of high school in rural South Carolina all because my family and I met a elderly couple who would sponsored me so that I could finish high school then pursued my American Dream. Many may think of it as luck but I believe more about Divine Providence than luck or good fortune. May God continue to bless America. The country I learn to love.

I’m very sorry to learn of T.V.’s passing. Sundar, the article you linked was a great read, as evidenced by the huge number of “thumbs up” and comments. He really did come a long way, from extremely humble beginnings to great success.

My condolences to his family.
