Bachchi uncle was one of the kindest, most caring, and most generous people that we have been blessed to know for the last 17 years. We will always remember his love, selflessness, compassion, and the fond memories we shared together. His stories of his childhood and earlier years were so compelling and a testament to the admirable yet humble man that he was. We were lucky to enjoy the fruits of his hard labor in his spectacular garden. We will miss Bachchi uncle dearly but he will live in our hearts and minds forever.

Bachchi and Saral showed great kindness to us in the late 1980s. Their wonderful stories and delicious meals took us on journeys we would never have otherwise experienced, and our conversations about religious and philosophical questions were very worthwhile. May God grant all the beloved family comfort, with our deepest sympathies.

I remember Bachchi very fondly. It was back in the late 1980' and early 1990's when I worked in the hemodialysis unit at St. Joseph's. Bachchi was so kind and always ready to help this newcomer to the unit understand more about dialysis. I extend my condolences to his family.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Bachchi. We worked together in dialysis. He was an amazing man! Sending love to all of you.
