OBITUARY: Joseph Prabhu

Joseph Benedict Prabhu (lovingly known as ‘JB’) breathed his last the evening of 27 September 2021, at their home in Los Angeles; wife Betty Bamberg and Joseph’s daughter Tara were by his bedside when he passed away peacefully. The first symptoms of a bladder discomfiture showed up at the East-West Philosophers’ Conference in Honolulu in May 2016; by July he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. After the ensuing intensive treatment through Fall 2016, Joseph made a complete recovery and went about his busy life as usual, doing the rounds of conferences and various seminars, locally in the United States and in Austria and Italy.
