Babubhai was born and raised in Dhaman, Gujarat. His work ethic was outstanding. Being raised in India, he started working at a young age as a farmer and making dessert as a business. His love for cricket was unreal. He watched cricket so much his tv was never turned off. His Sony TV did not turn off for 5 years. He brought his roots of farming from India to the US, continuing to distribute vegetables to his family and nearby friends. He always gave his vegetables away with a smile and always invited everyone back over to see how his vegetables were growing. We will miss him dearly and pray that his soul rests in peace.
