To the Choksi Family,
My condolences on the passing of Jal. Dr. Choksi inspired me to pursue mathematics some 25 years ago and for that I am grateful. He made a huge impact on me and my classmates and will be very much missed.

Dear Shernaz and family,
Jean and I are saddened by Jal's passing. His broad and deep interests, his natural curiosity, and his lively intelligence made him a joy to know. Life will go on and his legacy will always be with us, but we will miss the pleasure of his company enormously. Our thoughts are with you and we look forward to seeing you soon./Frank and Jean Chalk

Dear Shernaz:
Just today, I learned of your husband's passing. Though I met him only once, briefly, I know that he was a much respected man and, in the past few years, a besotted grandpa. I hope that the love and support of family and friends and the wonderful memories you made together will sustain you through the days and weeks ahead. I am thinking of you. Shirley Pettifer

To the Choksi family..

Please accept my deep sympathy at this sad time. Jal was a true gentleman and such a kind and thoughtful man. I recall the fun times we had together here in Victoria and the lovely evening spent with you last October. It will not be the same returning to Montreal knowing I will not see him.

It will be difficult to adjust to life without him.

You are much in my thoughts.
