It is with great sadness that I inform the AMICOS community of the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Mr. Mathew Vachaparampil (Lalichen) early morning today at 1:10 AM.

Lalichen’s fight against cancer for about 5 years, was ‘admirable’.

He was an active member of AMICOS and attended most of its activities. He will be missed terribly.

Visitation Friday, March 16, 2012, at Syro Malabar Catholic Cathedral 5000 W. St. Charles Road, Bellwood, IL. from 4 until 9 P.M.

Family and friends will meet on Saturday, March 17th at the Church for a 9 A.M. Funeral Mass.

Interment will be at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, Hillside, IL. at approx 11:30 A.M.
