A Century of Wisdom: Celebrating Tataiyah's 100 Years*

Today, as we remember Tataiyah on what would have been his 100th
birthday, we celebrate a life marked by devotion to family, knowledge,
and integrity.

As a headmaster, Tataiyah shaped countless young minds and inspired
a love for learning. His discipline and punctuality were legendary,
teaching us the importance of commitment and responsibility. He
didn't just set standards; he lived them, showing us what true
dedication looked like.

Tataiyah's mastery of English grammar is unforgettable. The grammar

book he authored remains a cherished resource, a source of reference
for us even today. With clarity and patience, he made complex concepts
feel simple, instilling in us a respect for language and precision.

When it came to math, there was no better tutor. Our visits to him were

more than family gatherings—they were opportunities to learn and
grow under his careful guidance. Beyond textbooks, he taught us

perseverance, problem-solving, and the joy of discovery.

Though he is no longer with us, Tataiyah's legacy lives on in each of us

the values he upheld, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared.
His spirit continues to shape who we are and how we carry ourselves.

Today, we honor his memory with gratitude for the indelible mark he
left on our hearts and lives. Happy 100th, Tataiyah. We love and miss
you and carry forward the gifts of wisdom and love you shared.

With love and gratitude
