Happy Heavenly Birthday Praful. You will be missed. You were a good man and a great friend and mentor.  DEC 22ND

Madhu and family. I am sorry to hear of Prafuls passing. My thoughts and prayers to all of you.   Kathy Reilly

Praful was poetry for the young, a flower for the mature, and a divine fragrance for beauty. A great anchor, a solace that generated hope and delightful affirmations, for his entire vast family of brothers, cousins, children, grand children and great grand children. Praful believed that the young should fly, accomplish their ambitions, live their life to the fullest, and spread their wings. Praful guided every single person in distress, difficult times. His mere presence was a sheer radiance of energy, re-assuring love never fades, affection never sighs and such a one may be needed elsewhere where still his soul shall rise magnificently like the new dawn. Triumphantly, the air carried his spirit of life saliently into a very personal spiritual pilgrimage. His wonderful memories shall be treasured by his loved ones, his close family and world at large whosoever he touched in this lifetime with his everlasting affection, magnetic resonance, and positive energy. Praful, was an encouraging wise gentleman with rejoice and laughters. Young at heart, who loved beauty and who believed that love is a beautiful thing! Praful was our pillar!

We pray with divine love and affectionate thoughts, to Great God to cheerish as his favourite flower - Praful may you never cease to love.
Most affectionately Tingooram Pattni and Hasmita Pattni. U.K.

Praful, we will miss you. I pray to god that you will be in peaceful in tranquility.  My condolences to your family.

Sleep well Praful Bhai. You were a guiding light to all your family and settled them in USA. You have left a lasting legacy which will be a blessing to all. You have earned your rest , so rest in peace..God Bless You. Aum Shanti Shanti.

Dear Dad, 

Today the family performs its last rites for you.  We are thankful for the life you had gave us, for allowing us to walk in your light, to be in your presence.  We will follow in your footsteps, and work every day to achieve those values you set in all of us.  We will look after each other, especially our mother.  We will love each other.  You are so missed but I know that you would want us to carry on and make sure that the girls finish what they set out to do and in your words to be “Champs,” and “to be number one.”  We will miss you Papa, miss your voice, essence, laughter, the random texts, voicemails, and so much more.  I hope you are at peace and reunited with your family.  I hope that we have the opportunity to meet again and for us all to be a family in the next life.  Jai Hanuman and Jai Shree Krishna dad.  We love you.

Jai Shree Krishna 🙏🏻

I so enjoyed working with Praful. Always the gentleman, he ran the most efficient meetings I ever attended. 

The souls of the just are in the hands of God........

I'm sorry for your loss!
God bless you 🙏 ❤️

I was saddened to hear of Praful's passing. We both started at Garrett around the same time in the early eighties and I remember how thorough and helpful he was from day one. I continued working with him over the years and remember meeting with him just days before his retirement. I always appreciated his work ethic and kindness. I am glad his son will continue the legacy.

Kirit and l have known each other since we were admitted to Mtendeni Indian Primary School in Dares Salaam in January 1952 and came to be acquainted with his family.
As we grew older I got to know Praful more and more. He got married to my neighbor Mridulla Mehta with whom I used to play with during childhood days.
Praful was always playful- it was entertaining to watch him speak in the American accent when he started to work for the American embassy!
He went out of his way to assist me in obtaining an extension of my visitors visa in Dar es Salaam - I remember he bought a plateful of bhajiyaz from Dar es Salaam hotel to  thank the immigration officer.
The Bhatt family was close
to my grandmother and mother especially after their father passed away.
May God grant him eternal peace and give strength to Madubhabi and the children and grandchildren and the extended family.God bless.

Madhu & Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Praful’s passing.  I’ve work with him for many, many years.  And Madhu, we loved having you work with us in Shipping.

I will always remember Praful’s smile and laughter , such a giving person.

So sorry to hear of Praful’s passing. He was such a good man. I will never forget how he always addressed me as “ Young Man” and brought a smile to my face.

I am so sorry to hear about Praful. I worked with he and his wife in Torrance. He was such a kind man and always had a smile to share.
