Celebrating the life of
Manjeri (Jeri) Subramaniam Raman
Passed away on August 04, 2022

Manjeri “Jeri” Subramaniam Raman, 79, died in Savannah GA on August 4, 2022 of unexpected complications from esophageal cancer.
Jeri was born in Calicut (now Kozhikode), India in August 1942, to M.R Subramaniam and Alamelu Subramaniam. In 1967, he came to Buffalo, New York to study chemical engineering. He enjoyed a long career with Spencer-Kellogg (Buffalo, NY), Calgon Corp. (Pittsburgh, PA), and SNF Holding Co. (Riceboro, GA). In 1970, he married Krishna Ranganathan. They raised two children and two dogs in Pittsburgh and Savannah. In 1978, Jeri became a U.S. citizen. He truly loved his country.
Jeri enjoyed politics, doting on his granddaughters, playing golf, watching sports and movies in English, Tamil, and Hindi, and keeping in touch with his many friends and family worldwide. He was an avid student of Hindu philosophy and active in the Indian community in Pittsburgh and Savannah. He loved volunteering with Hopelink in Redmond and tutoring 5th grade math at Gould Elementary in Savannah.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Krishna Raman; son Arvind Raman (Redmond, WA); daughter Anandi Raman Creath, son-in-law TJ Creath, and his two granddaughters Trillian and Meridian Creath (Phoenix, AZ); brother Sundar Subramaniam, his wife Lalitha Subramaniam, and his family (Dayton, NJ); and sister Meenakshi Natarajan (Coimbatore, India) and her family. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son Ashwin Raman.
We are grateful that so many relatives and friends came to visit him in his last days.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Second Harvest of Coastal Georgia (helpendhunger.org), a cause he supported enthusiastically. We will be celebrating his life in Savannah, GA in a few weeks.

We were together in AC tech Chennai 1965-67, and were good friends. I lost touch with Raman unfortunately until we rediscovered each other a few years back. Since then, we were in regular contact. Infact, we have been thinking about meeting, but it didn’t happen. Last December, as I was about to return to india, I spoke to him and learnt about his cancer. I was shocked and very sad, but thought that he would pull through. I would very much have liked to meet him in August this year when I arrived in USA, but sadly, he is no more with us. I pray for peace for him and solace to his bereaved family. My heart felt condolences. I lost a very good friend, and regret that I could not meet him.

Kannan was very very special to us. Hard to find such an affectionate & caring relative. Krishna, I shall always cherish the lovely moments I have spent with both of you. My heartfelt condolences to you and the entire family

My deepest condolences on Uncle’s passing. I feel fortunate I got to know him and spend time with him. He had such a passion for the world around him and the people in it. He made a positive impact on anyone he interacted with. He will be remembered with the fondest memories.

Raman uncle is one of the kindest and most friendly people I have ever known. A great friend to my parents and our entire family. And he is one of few people I could have a great sports conversation with - I even have a text from him late in the fourth quarter from the Bills-Chiefs playoff game this past January. My deepest condolences to Krishna auntie, Anandi, Arvind, and the entire Raman family.

So sorry to hear this. I worked with Jerri at SNF. We started there literally on the same day, and both of us retired there. He was a good man and was well respected by all who knew him. Most sincere condolences to his family.
- Rick Campbell, Sneedville, TN
I do not know where to start. Jeri to me was not just a colleague, but a friend and a mentor. His jest for life and his amazing advice in so many topics have carried me through my professional career. I enjoyed traveling around the world with Jeri meeting customers and prospects and embracing diverse cultures. Krishna and Jeri hosted my father and me several times in Savannah and we had great times with them in Costa Rica and Guatemala. Jeri will be remembered as a most fantastic man who loved life, his family, and his friends. He leaves love and great memories. My condolences to Krishna, Arvind, and Anandi and her family.

Condolences to friend Krishna and family. I worked with Jeri at Calgon in Pittsburgh and had lunch with him every day we were both in town. A great work friend for many years and even after when I retired in SC and he moved to Savannah. The family will miss him lots and lots, but so will lunch workmates Jack and Bill. Manjeri, we’ll miss you!

My deepest condolences to your family for the loss of Jeri. I knew Jeri from our time together at SNF. While I worked at a remote location, we worked together solving customer problems.
