WITH HIS EVER SMILING FACE IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO INTERACT WITH ASHOKBHAI .ON behalf of mehta family OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO SUVARNABEN, JAI, Amy and tushar
Dear Suvernaben, Harsh, Ami and Jay, Ashokbhai was a inspiration. During the years he was in Mumbai, he was a wonderful guide and mentor. I would drop by at Ram Mahal often, and Ashokbhai had no hesitation in guiding both of us personally and professionally. Harsh being in GLC at around the same time helped. My parents, Pratap and Kusum, were also family friends. Ashokbhai would always be unflappable and pleasant; his phrase " chal dikra" was legendary. Pannaben also sends her regards.

1946..Kabibai School, Mumbai a friendship began with Ashokbhai 74+ years ago.Now snuffed out. Friendship laced with pranks and warmth. Ashokbhai, Pravin Shah and I recreated these memories in reunions in North America with Suvernaben for 25+ years. Ashokbhai, An erudite storyteller. A raconteur par excellence. His demise now leaves a void with echoes of reunions laced with love, warmth and his spontaneous inimitable laughter. May his soul rest in peace. Suresh Mehta, Canada.
He was a gentle and humble senior who was always nice to anyone who interacted with him. I will always remember him as one of the finest gentleman who has set examples not only at Bar, but in general life as well for other to follow. My sincere condolences to his family.
Heartfelt condolences to Suvarna Bhabhi and the family. I met him and followed his illustrious career and life as a friend of Jai. God bless you and may his soul rest in peace.
We have had the good fortune of knowing Ashokbhai and Suvernaben for the last twenty five years, when our son joined Ashokbhai's chambers. Ashokbhai cared deeply about the future of our country, and its economic and political challenges, including the functioning of the Reserve Bank, and its interaction with the Government. His comments were always constructive and insightful, his outlook optimistic. Our heartfelt condolences to Suvernaben and the family. We shall all miss Ashokbhai very much.
We have so many fond memories of Uncle visiting Seattle. I distinctly remember when we visited him in Delhi, how he welcomed us all with open arms, his warmth, hospitality and genuine love was felt by each of us. My kids still remember that trip, even though their age was in single digits! He had the Charisma! In spite of his stature, he was extremely humble, loving and caring. He will be missed dearly. Our deepest condolences to his family far and near. Love n hugs Ami, Tushar & Aunty.
God Bless Your Soul
