I am very sad to know that Saya U Num Kock has passed away.

He was my Saya teaching us “Drawing” when I attended first year engineering in Rangoon University in 1951. He was a very nice and gentle person. So far as I remember he was never angry or upset about anything. He was a hard worker and also a helpful person.

Please send my heartfelt condolences to his family. Thank you.

I am so saddened to learn belatedly of Sayagyi U Num Kock’s passing away. Sayagyi was one of my earliest sayas in Engineering. Sayagyi taught me Building Drawing in my second year engineering at the B.O.C. College and also supervised our surveying practical exercises. Sayagyi was always very kind and patient towards us and we all loved and respected him.

Please convey my heartfelt condolences to Sayagyi’s wife and family.

Several alumni remember Saya teaching Soil Mechanics.
