Harshil, it's never easy knowing that our lives continue to move on in this world without you in it. Every year I constantly have a random memory popping up in my head of us together having late nights with pizza and Vanila Coke. How I wish we were back in those days again. You will never be forgotton.

Harshil, ever since meeting you in Berry Oxford, we become the best of friends. You were always humble and cared about the people in your lives. Like everyone says, your smile can never be forgotten. I truly miss you brother and since we are the same age, I would have never thought this could happen to you. I have been distant from you lately and I now regret not catching up on the times ever since I left NY. Harshil take care wherever you are brother.

Harshil, I have never met anyone like you. I will always remember the many wonderful moments we shared. So many laughs, adventures, and lessons. You were THAT PERSON I could always count on no matter what. You meant a lot to me and I don't know if I will ever be able to accept the fact that your gone but I will always and forever miss you. I'll pray for you and your family all the time. Your dearest kitty Tiggy will continue to be a loving memory of you. I hold him close to me every chance I get & remember how you used to say "He's my baby!!" You were so happy and brought the light from everyone around you. It's so hard to say goodbye to someone that was so important to me. May God grant you ease wherever you are now and heaven. May he make it easy on your family that loved you so much. Your forever in my thoughts every single day.

My wife and I purchased 2 vehicles from Harshil a year ago. He was great at his job and always went the extra mile for me if I needed something. I always enjoyed going back to the dealership and talking with him. I respected him and considered him a friend. My condolences to his family. Be proud of the son and brother you had.

Dear Family of Hershel,

Learning yesterday of Harshil's death was a blow.Only once did I have the good fortune of meeting this gracious man at his place of business. Harshil was not my salesman, but when I sought assistance, he was willing and able to help me in whatever way, needed. My heart goes out to his family and co-workers.
His goodness shall be remembered !
Shalom,
Marge
