Jagdish was first a colleague, then my statistics tutor, and most importantly he became my friend and confidant. As I was leaving SWBT in StL for AT&T in NJ my parents gave me a going away party. I clearly remember meeting Ila who had just arrived, shyly meeting my family and friends. I was so pleased to visit Jagdish and Ila over the years on my visits back to StL and see her confidently become a partner and challenge to Jagdish, bringing some of his old world thinking into the modern era. Like most of us, Jagdish needed a bit of prodding and pulling. Accepting annica is simply, but not often easy. Jagdish died on my birthday and therefore always on my mind when that day arrives.

I enjoyed working with Jagdish @ Southwestern Bell. We talked endlessly about statistics, regression analysis, forecasting, family, and culture. I was fortunate to have him in my life.

I'm saddened to hear of Jagdish's death. He and I were great friends working together at Southwestern Bell. He was a mentor and a brother. I regret losing touch when I moved to New Jersey and then Florida but he has always been in my thoughts.

We (Nalini, Puran, Kelly and Neil) will miss Jagdish Bhai saheb. He touched our lives and considered us as a part of his family. It is hard to put our feelings into words; personally I have lost an older brother. He will be in our prayers.
