Niranjan Gandhi Obituary

Gandhi, Niranjan R. Dr. N. R. Gandhi, age 73, died on June 22 at Columbia St. Mary's Hospital in Ozaukee. Memorial Mass of Remembrance will be held this Friday at 11:00 AM at St. Eugene Catholic Church, 7600 North Port Washington Road, Fox Point, family will greet friends from 10:00 AM until time of Mass. Niranjan Gandhi was born on April 30, 1945 in Mahemdavad, India to Ramanlal and Kapilaben Gandhi. He was the youngest of five children. He came to the United States to attend Utah State University where he earned his doctorate in microbiology in 1972. Niranjan and his wife, Josephine Gandhi, started their first company, Auro Tech Inc., in 1979, which was acquired by International Flavors and Fragrances in 1991. Niranjan and Josephine started their second company, Jeneil Biotech Inc., four years later. The company continues to be family-held with business activities throughout the world. His pioneering work on enzyme-modified cheese, dairy flavors, and fermentation-derived flavors and bio-products earned him significant recognition in the scientific and business communities. In recognition of his work, Niranjan was awarded the Presidential Green Chemistry Award by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2004 and an honorary degree by Utah State University in 2005. In addition to his wife, Niranjan is survived by his two children, Jennifer (Ivan) and Neil (Mallory), and his granddaughter, Mara.

Our family was treated so well by Dr. Gandhi and Josephine when we came to do research at the Aurotech plant for a few months years ago. We had a wonderful time and ended up making new friends. We were always impressed with the way you treated your employees. It was no wonder many of them had been working there for many years when we were there and we understand that some we knew are still there. He was not only a good man, but we considered him our good friend. Joyce and I were saddened to learn about Dr. Gandhi's death, but on the other hand we know Heavenly Father has a place for good men such as him. We pray for all of you left behind; Josephine, Jennifer and Neil, and hope you will find peace.

Dr. Gandhi was a good man, good scientist and a good friend. He was very passionate about everything he did. He trusted the people who worked for him. He was a visionary and he has inspired a lot to people including myself to start my own business. We will miss him.
