With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Shri Natvarlal Juthalal Ruparel, a cherished husband, father, and the foundation of our family, on the auspicious day of "Saphala EkaDashi," December 26th, 2024 in Saratoga, CA, USA. Born in Veraval, India on August 23rd, 1928, he was 96 years old.

Natvarlal was deeply devoted to his family, always providing knowledge, wisdom, unconditional love and support. He was a dedicated professional in his field of Education and Teaching, known for his work ethic and commitment to excellence. His strong Vedic-Hindu values guided his life, and was devout follower of the Bhagvad-Gita. His motto in life, that he preached often and lived by, was "A person's glory in life should be measured by how many people love him/her, not by how many battles he/she has won." Anyone who came in touch with him, fell in love with him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Manjula, his children, Jignesh, Chandresh, Jyoti, Kamalesh and his grandchildren, Nihal, Nandini, Dhrsaj, Dhwani, Khyati, Tej and Pavitra. His memory will forever be cherished through the countless stories, laughter, and wisdom he shared with us.
