Ramesh was the first in his family to immigrate to the United States in October of 1957. He pursued his degree in chemical engineering at The University of TX, Austin. He later completed his Masters in Business Administration from the University of St. Thomas, MN. After Ramesh completed his undergraduate studies, he went back to India where he was introduced to his wife, Charu. Days later they were married and traveled back to the United States to begin their new life. Ramesh spent a majority of his career as a chemical engineer at HB Fuller, where he retired at the age of 55. During his long retirement, Ramesh and his wife traveled the world and enjoyed cruising, logging over 800 days. Retirement also allowed them to spend many hours at the gym, often doing 2 classes per day. He also kept busy with the stock market. His savviness and curiosity to learn allowed him to be a successful day trader. His zest for life was infinite and fulfilled. Cheers to Ramesh for a life well lived! Celebration of Life!
