Most memorable was his trip to India with his father in 2009. Above all, Ajay was a very proud and supportive parent, keeping up with all of his children’s activities, and encouraging academic accomplishments. Ajay was the best dad his children could have ever asked for and an amazing son, partner, sibling, and friend. Dad devoted his entire life caring for others and was always there when we needed him. We loved him and missed him dearly. The family extends appreciation to the friends, physicians and community for their support during this difficult time.
