Ben called me today and I was shocked that Bikesh had met an untimely death. I’d not spoken with Bikesh in a while, but he always had a GREAT smile, a good joke, and was generous to a fault. I don’t ever recall seeing him in a bad mood – he was a good man. He loved his BMW’s and the people associated with the Car Club, and he will be very much missed in the BMW car community.
Bikesh always added something special every place he went. He always made me laugh, smile and of course do a shot with him. He will never be forgotten and always be remembered and missed.
Bikesh had such a kind spirit, and was full of happiness. My deepest sympathies and continued prayers for Bikesh’s family and friends.
Bikesh had the biggest heart and would do anything to help a friend or even a stranger .. My deapest condolences to his family and thank you for giving us time with a great human being.

Bikesh was a great friend and colleague during my time at SCSU. He was always so positive and resourceful, he was truely one of a kind. I learned much from him, he was always there to help me back in my early UNIX sysadmin days. Even though I haven’t seen him since 1997, I am shocked and saddened to learn of his death at such a young age. Peace be with you, Bikesh, and my condolences to the Patel family.
Bikesh was a wonderful person. Always smiling and willing to solve all of our problems. He helped me more times than I can count. We shared many good and stimulating discussions. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I hope you know how much Bikesh was loved. The world is a sadder place without Bikesh.

I met Bikesh once at an after work social event. He was very young, lively, happy, and funny. I thought to myself this guy is great. Such a charmer. He will make some woman very happy someday.
I never saw Bikesh without a smile on his face and this is how I’ll always remember him. My thoughts are with his family.

There are a number of us who worked with Bikesh years ago at PetroChem.net, Inc. in Stamford, CT. who only learned of his passing in the last day or two. We’ve been in touch with each other today for the first time in years, to share our rememberances of Bikesh, one of the truly generous and sweet souls any of us has had the pleasure of knowing. I last saw Bikesh on my wedding day, 8 years ago. I’ll always remember the easy laughter and love of life that defined Bikesh and made him so terrific to be around. His passing is a profound tragedy. I offer my deepest condolences to the Patel family, and to all who love and miss Bikesh. I miss him too.
This is a late message, as I only discovered this today, November 2006. I am stunned as I sit and write this condolence. Bikesh and I had great fun together in the BMW club doing all sorts of nonesense together. He was always a very generous sole to everyone he encountered. I will miss him dearly. Goodbye, my friend. My condolences to his family.
To Bikesh’s family, I hope that in this time of grief you are finding solace and comfort. I by no means can even begin to fathom the depth or complexity of your loss, but I sincerely hope that the pain will lessen over time. I continue to pray for you in your time of grief. We all miss him already.
We have lost an incredibly funny, intelligent, and generous friend. He was always very upbeat and willing to lend a hand, whether at work or outside. I have many fond memories and will miss him dearly.

When Bikesh worked with me at SCSU in the Unix lab adjacent to my office he was a genuine day brightner! What a smile! Bikesh was kind, gentle, sweet and good-natured. Bikesh had a pure heart and was a dear soul. I’m sure he makes a wonderful angel where he is now; Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain, I suppose.
Will never hear this every again – .Brother’s from different mother’s.. Motabhai(elder brother) will miss you alot and forever. Peace and Cheers, DJ.
Words can not describe my deepest sympathy for your entirely family. Bikesh will never be forgotten. May his soul rest in everlasting peace.
