Bhupendra C. Patel


In Memory of Bhupendra C. Patel

On Monday, August 19, 2019, Bhupendra Patel, known as BC, —loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, father-in-law, and friend—passed away at the age of 70. 

BC was born in Nairobi, Kenya as was his family. There, he worked for many years as an accountant and financial advisor and tax consultant. He was also a businessman and a curious and gifted learner who started ventures related to the stock exchange, retail, computers, gems, and horses. He moved to the U.S. in 2000. 

He loved people and struck up conversations with everyone. He was a deep thinker and cared about current events occurring globally. He was passionate about family, food, and politics. He enjoyed cooking and was a master at curries. He had stories for days and advice for everyone. He advocated for young people to vote and be politically engaged. He fought for the right to be heard, to learn, to stand up for what he believed in, and for his family. 

He is survived by his wife, Nirupa, his son Neel, his daughter Monali, his grandson Drona, and his siblings: his sisters Ilaben, Chandrika, Bina, and his brother Ashok. He is preceded by his parents, Chandubhai and Shantaben, and his eldest sister Niruben who was a tremendous influence in his life. 

All who knew him are welcome to attend. The family will receive friends from 2 - 4 pm EST on Friday, August 23, 2019, at Dobbs Funeral Home in Orlando, FL. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the National Kidney Foundation memorial page. Bhupendra's deteriorating health and passing was in large part due to his kidney disease, and we'd like to honor his legacy by supporting continuing advocacy, education, and research to treat this disease. He fought hard for everything he was passionate about and he'd want us to fight for other families, too.

Andre' Charles Deprez

ANDRE' CHARLES DEPREZ
June 30, 1928 - July 26, 2019 

Born into an expatriated Swiss family in Brussels, at age twelve Andre' was forced to flee with his mother and sister to Switzerland in June 1940 ahead of the World War II German invasion of Belgium.  After four years of high school in Lausanne, he attended a German-speaking high school in Aarau to prepare for the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, from which he graduated in 1951 with a degree in Chemistry.  After marriage to Jocelyn C. France, in 1952 the couple emigrated to Syracuse, NY where Andre' worked at Solvay for a year.  Wanting to expand his education, he won a two-year scholarship to MIT from which he graduated in 1955 with a Masters in Chemical Engineering.

With two children in tow, the couple moved to Wilmington, DE for a new job with DuPont.  Here they stayed for two years before moving to Norwalk, CT for Andre's definitive job with Scientific Design, a small cutting-edge technology company in New York, which was developing petrochemical engineering and plant design for sale all over the world.  After a five-year experience int he Paris office, Andre' became Senior VP of Sales back in New York.  The family settled in New Canaan, CT in 1964, with Andre' traveling all over the world, as this was the period of the petrochemical industry's great expansion.  In 1985 he also managed to scoop up a Master's degree from MIT's Sloan School of Business.

While in Paris, Andre' pioneered doing business behind the Iron Curtain, and when Nixon opened up to China, Andre' was in the forefront of technology exchange there.  Andre' firmly believed that the path to peace was to develop friendly commercial relations and build up the standard of living of people everywhere.  A man of strong convictions and broad cultural understanding, Andre's dedication to his ideals was instrumental in his lifelong success.

He lived his last years in Orlando, Fl and leaves behind his wife of 67 years, Jocelyn, two children, Marie-Therese Harper and Alexandre Deprez, and 10 grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at 12:00 pm on Friday, August 9, 2019  at Dr. Phillips Cemetery in Orlando.
