It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that I need to inform our group of the passing of one of our own, Satish Khorana. A few years ago he had a stroke and has been in poor health since. He most recently developed respiratory distress as a result of complications from his condition and went into multiple organ failure. He passed away yesterday, August 13th at 5:10pm. Satish was a great person, a wonderful family man and a good friend, and shall be missed. He leaves behind his dear wife of a lifetime, Shashi and two daughters, Aditi, and Smitha. I will never forget the last time we got together socially with them. It was during our 2015 XUNICEF reunion in Budapest. Great memories of his laughter and wonderful sense of humor. My wife and I were hoping to get together again with them on our next XUNICEF outing. This is very sad!
There will be a memorial via Zoom, which I will inform you when I get the details.
My deepest condolences to his loving family.
God Bless!

I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Satish Khorona. I knew him well from his excellent work in IT both in New York and in Copenhagen. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife Shashi and their two daughters who I had the opportunity meeting many years ago.

Dear Mrs. Khorana,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Satish.
Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies in this difficult time. May God be with him and with all of you who he leaves behind.
During the years when I served in UNICEF New York, Satish was a friend.
In our human resources division Satish was a regular caller - always ready to help, skillful and full of great ideas. He helped us patch together various parts of UNICEF's system with that of the UN. Without Satish, I doubt that our payroll or our personnel records could have survived.
Warm regards and best wishes.

Dear Shashi and family,
We were truly shocked to hear of the sudden passing away of Satish! We recall our times together both in the office and socially residing close to each other in Westchester county. May his soul rest in peace! Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to you Shashi, your daughters Aditi and Smita and all the family - may God help you bear this irreparable loss. While we have not seen each other for a while, we remember our friendship and fun filled times together in New York, his love for perfection in everything he did - at work and at home. The collections and wood of your house reminds us how proud he was to explain the fine details he looked at. At work, during the time I was the Budget Director of UNICEF, I worked with Satish as a team to expand and enhance UNICEF's various global IT systems and processes. We travelled together several times to SAP headquarters and had a really good time. We knew that once he was managing a project, it would be completed perfectly and on time - a devoted and highly competent person who left no loose ends. He was always youthful and full of good humor that made being together with him a lot of fun. We will truly miss him! Love and remembrances. Bijaya and Gabriele

Shri Satish Khorana was probably the most endearing colleague, with his disarming cheerful disposition, known to and met with colleagues in many UNICEF field offices. He used to make the emerging technology easy to understand and nothing to be fearful to us, being novices.
Joining the retiree colleagues in this part of the world we convey our condolences to the family and join in their prayers for the departed Atma.

I have sent our email to Shashi. It’s so sad that Salish had left us too soon. I was hoping that we could see him and
Shashi again perhaps in the next reunion.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of the passing of Satish. I knew Satish quite well and we had developed a friendship over our many years of working together at Unicef.....so he was not only a great colleague but also a friend. Satish , who was an IT expert , never gave up on trying to make IT simple enough for me to understand and so I will always admire that along with his so many other endearing qualities and good humour of which we are all so aware. I am so sad that he has passed far too early and I convey my condolences to his family. RIP Satish and thank you my friend.....Mike
