The speakers said Yousuf Nagori was always willing to work regardless of conditions. He even used to go to Karachi to deliver his photos by train or by road when email and internet services were not common, they said, adding that he had a peculiar kind of temperament which he could not change.

They said he had three phases of ailment; he fully recovered in two of them, but the last one proved fatal for him.
