I first met Jairaj at the Atlanta Market and I would have to say we did not hit it off at first. He was always questioning your decision on buying or should say, not buying something from him. I took offense to being questioned, but after time, I grew to know Jairaj better. His questioning was not to offend, but to learn the why’s, so he could store the info for his knowledge and assistance in making further decisions. He accepts an honest answer, but if not given, he will drill down til he hears something he understands.

After while of getting to know him, I grew to admire his knowledge and he took me within his world and enlightened me culturally. I learned so much about food, drinks, cultures and people through his eyes. My time with him were my best.

He idolized his children, always telling me what they were doing. They never disappointed him, on the contrary, he was sold proud of the three of them, as they all became successful and Inam sure each had a part of him to thank.

Jairaj, thank you for the memories, the visits, the travel and introductions to some very successful individuals. Thank you and Candace for having over to the house a number of ties and allowing a some what withdrawn young man to blossom under yourtutelidge.

I will miss our time together,

Bob Lohr
