Chinnana was family. He and aunty stood in for all the family we left behind in India. They were part of all our celebrations, our children’s lives and now our grandchildren’s too. I remember the joy on his face when our grandson was born just a month ago. Chinnana will always remain in our memory as the handsome elegantly dressed uncle who always wanted to take care of everyone and never wanted anything in return. Anil and I spent many lovely times with him and aunty on our visits to Dallas enjoying good food and his love of movies and memories of family in India. Anil and I will miss you dear Chinnana and will treasure the memories we made with you. We will be there for aunty always, rest in peace Chinnana. Love from all the Daras.
Chinnana was family! He and aunty stood in for all the family we left behind in India. And they came to us to celebrate with us, our children, their triumphs and big days and stood by us in sad times too. Chinnana was a gentleman, always so well dressed and elegant, quietly determined, generous to a fault, and thought of us as kids despite our age and kids and grandkids. I remember his joyous face when we told him about the birth of our grandson only a month ago. Anil and I will miss you Chinnana as we treasure every memory of you and with you. We will always be there for aunty and pray for your eternal rest.
Tatha’s kindness, generosity, genuine care, and hilarious personality made him so loved and such a joy to be around. I will truly miss him but feel blessed to have spent the time I was able to with him. I will always cherish our time together in my 2023 visit exploring Dallas, wandering around Costco, watching Telugu movies, and making it our mission to take full advantage of all the paid for restaurants in his apartment complex, all while talking and laughing about everything under the sun.
In Loving Memory of Dr. Dara Johnson
Johnson Annaiah was beloved family member, friend, and compassionate soul. Annaiah, touched the lives of many with his kindness, devotion, and unwavering love for those close to him.
He held a deep and lifelong affection for his cousins, always cherishing the bond they shared. Among his many cherished relationships, he had the utmost respect and admiration for his Chinnayana, Premachandrudu, whom he regarded with great affection and reverence.
One of the most selfless chapters of his life was during nanagaru’s illness. While he was in Vellore hospital battling cancer, Johnson annaiah along with vadinamma and her father Dr. Alexander stood by his side with steadfast care and love, attending to him with unwavering dedication and compassion.
Annaiah will be remembered not only for his caring heart but also for the quiet strength and generosity he showed in times of need. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
May his soul rest in peace.
From all Nethala cousins and their children of Vijayawada
Remember my conversation with Chinnana. He would enquire about everything going on here. We would talk about all the good times we had during our summer vacation visit to Komarapalayam. Remember the movies we watched in theaters when we visited them. Our travel to Ooty and Coimbatoor. Lot of memories to cherish. Thank God for Chinnana's life. Praying for aunty.
