Obituary

 Noted philatelist Shrikant Parikh is no more..........

With immense sorrow and heavy heart, I am sorry to inform my philatelist friends that a noted philatelist of Ahmedabad, Shri Shrikant Parikh passed away today. He is known for his specialized collection of Se-tenant Stamps.https://setenantsofindia.blogspot.com/ He was an active postcrosser with a high ranking on the PostCrossing website, I had a long association with him for about 17 years when I started Rainbow Stamp News. He contributed regular news and articles for my Rainbow Stamp Club blog and Rainbow Stamp News. I had my last communication with him on Tuesday 29th April 2025 but never knew that it was his last WhatsApp message to me acknowledging my postcard sent to him from Kuala Lumpur. Besides Stamps he had a keen interest in the collection of Picture Postcards, Souvenir spoons, and Bonsai, I had seen his excellent collection of Bonsai which he used to make himself during my visit to Ahmedabad. Our heartfelt condolences... I have lost my very close philatelist friend.....May his soul Rest in Peace...
