Dr. Ashok Jani, a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, was not only my brother-in-law, but indeed a brother and friend for me. I always called him Ashok Bhai to honor our brotherly relationship.
Ashok Bhai migrated to the USA when he had already established himself as a Physician in India, and spent his life creating and fulfilling his own American dream, along with Hema ji and two young boys. Ashok Bhai not only re-established himself as a Physician in Florida, he never hesitated to challenge the conventional wisdom to find new ways to help improve his patients. In the process, he also helped motivate his two young boys to become physicians now known as Dr. Niraj Jani and Dr. Devang Jani, and both of whom made him very proud. Hats off to Ashok Bhai!
Ashok Bhai loved everything that added to the vibrancy of life. True to the meaning of his name, Ashok, he was never sad; instead Ashok Bhai was always full of smile that is etched in my memory. I also remember his joyous dance moves and the satisfied look on his face when interacting with his sweet little grand-daughter. He had the unique ability of making instant friends, and make everyone feel as if they knew him for long time. There was no stranger for him – everyone was a friend or a friend-to-be.
As we celebrate the life of Ashok Bhai, we pray for the eternal peace for his soul. We will miss the physical presence of Ashok Bhai, but will always cherish the good memories of him. We pray God to give us the strength to spread the joy and the courage for community service that Ashok Bhai always pursued. God bless all.
Respectfully,
Kamal and entire Rajkanan Family
