Scientist. Punster. Letter writer. Music fan. Born July 31, 1938, in Dehradun, India; died Sept. 10, 2019, in Calgary, of lymphoma; aged 81
Born in pre-Independence India, Sudhir had the temerity and resilience to cross many national and cultural boundaries in his life. He was born the youngest of three brothers. His mother fought for her sons’ success, despite the family’s hardships, and Sudhir spent several years living with a wealthier relatives, who treated him as the poor cousin. He later attributed his ambition to his financially unstable childhood.
Once Sudhir completed his PhD, and Evelyn her social-work degree, the couple moved to London. In 1966, a job offer in Libya meant Sudhir and Evelyn could escape England’s racism and classism. They enjoyed life there, made life-long friends and welcomed their first two children, Lochlann and Kamini. In Calgary, Sudhir founded Commonwealth Geophysical, which developed industry-shifting innovations. While his contributions were honoured within the geophysical community, Sudhir turned more philosophical about the oil industry and its global impact in his later years.
