Dear Ranjan, Shilpa and Reena,   

Vinubhai was a wonderful friend and we miss him dearly.  His smiling face and great stories lit up the room.  Our best memories are when we gathered outdoors during summer for picnics.   I can still remember his laughter.  Vinubhai has left a big gap in our lives.   

Shanti & Stefan

We are going to miss our very good friend, Vinu. I will always remember how much fun we had together as bachelors. I am also going to miss our twice a week phone calls and lunches that we had together. You were a kind and caring person. We feel blessed and honored that you were such a good friend for so many years. Your memories are going to live forever. God bless your soul.

Dear Ranjan;
Sincere condolences to you and your family.
Vinu will be dearly missed.
I knew him since 1965 in Twin Cities. His laughter, straight forward talk and funny jokes will be missed. He was a life of our friendly gatherings.
At our last meeting, he was very alert, hopeful, smiling and attentive.
Peace and strength to you.
We will stay in touch. With love, Neena and Ram

Thank you, Vinu for the fun memories you leave behind for us--SILC days, working way past midnight on the exhibits at the Festival of Nations, your teasing "Wala-Wali" comments. We are happy we were able to visit and spend some time with you before Covid, recounting and remembering all these good moments. To Preeti, you will always be her "Georgio Man!"
May the fragrance of a life well spent with so much positivity bring comfort to dear Ranjan, Reena, Shilpa, and their families. Om Shanti!

Vinu Uncle: the years of support, advice, laughter, and care will stay with us in our memories. Your pride in Reena, Shilpa and their beautiful families was clear in each conversation. Watching you and auntie together was like watching a well oiled machine of partnership. All of us have changed because of your influence. May you now rest and be at peace while we find ours.
