Dr. John Andrew Rajan, age 60 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 at the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City after a brief illness.
Dr. Rajan was born in Pragasapuram, India and after getting his Masters Degree at IIT in India, he came to the U.S. in 1976 to get his Ph.D in engineering. He attended the Southern Methodist University in Dallas and completed his doctorate in only two years. Without question, he was a bright man, but his wife Sugandhi deserves a great deal of credit for the wonderful support she provided. Dr. Rajan began working for Rockwell in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1979 until moving to New Jersey in 1989 when he began working for ITT as a systems engineer. He and Sugandhi have worked together at ITT ever since.
In his spare time, John enjoyed remodeling their home with his family, designing and planning the projects all himself. He loved to go shopping with his daughter, Shirley. He cherished every moment he spent with his wife, daughter, and sons. His greatest hobby was making sure to catch every special moment with his camera, so he could remember all the good times in his life forever.
His children recall a wonderful father who was always supportive, reliable, and good humored. He was also a terrific, loving, and devoted husband. He drove his wife everywhere, they carpooled to work each day, and he sat by her side in the evening as she cooked dinner. They shared a love both true and deep. They were genuine soulmates walking hand-in-hand throughout their thirty four years of marriage.
John is survived by his wife Sugandhi, his sons Patrick of Wayne and Stanley of Ringwood, one daughter; Shirley of Wayne, as well as two brothers and two sisters.
