My Condolences to Venalainen family. When I moved from certification to Service Quality, Timo was my first technical manager that I reported to. He was a kind hearted person and always ready to give me the guidance and encouragement. He supported me to go to the next plateau of technical excellence. I vividly remember many technical discussions we conducted, and I enjoyed learning from him. May God bless his family and comfort all in this time of sorrow.
RIP TV,
Had a long association with TV in the work place as well as on the tennis courts along side with my doubles partner Lorne.
My wife Maya and I extend our heart felt condolences to the entire family.
God bless your soul and give strength to the family to bear their loss!
Mukand Handa.
