The Rajendra family would like to thank you
(ISB Class of 1970, ISB Class of 1973, ISB Alumni, individual ISBers, and
other friends), for the spectacular flowers and gifts sent for Leo
Rajendra's memorial service last Saturday, November17, in Virginia, and
for your kind words, condolences, notes, and support. Leo prayed every
night and we know he loved you all and was honored in turn by all your
love.
The Rajendra family is sad to announce
the death of Leo S. Rajendra on November 9th, 2012 in Virginia, USA of a
heart attack following back surgery. Leo was born in Jaffna, Ceylon on January 20, 1951 and was a student at ISB from 1963 to 1970 when he moved to the United States to complete his studies in Criminology (B.A.) and Public Administration (M.A.). His career over the past four decades covered work as a criminologist with various southern Californian police departments and subsequently as a technology expert for various government and private institutions in the U.S.A. Leo followed in his father’s footsteps and was one of International School of Bangkok's (ISB) top athletes and played an active part of various sports teams during his years there. Leo (“Baba” was his family nickname) was a spiritual and intellectual man with a unique sense of humor and told exotic stories that made one laugh. He had a kind heart and was generous with his time and money to offer help to others in need. As many ISBers know well, Leo had a zest for life and always opted to live life to the fullest rather than to lead a mundane life. Leo leaves behind his wife Margaret Henderson, his son Justin Rajendra, and daughter Dr. Malika Rajendra (all of Georgia); his youngest sister Angeline Rajendra Behrend (of Maryland); eldest brother Ernest Rajendra (of California); youngest brother Eric Rajendra (of France); his nieces Tabatha Rajendra (of California) and Rachel Behrend (of Maryland), nephew David Behrend (of Maryland); his in-laws Juana Rajendra (of California), Kirk Harrison (of California), Richard Behrend (of Maryland), Michael Bronfen (of France); various relatives and friends all over the world.
