He was born in Baroda, India – the son of Malti and Sadashiv Kavadi. He is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 59 years, Vasudha; son and daughter-in-law Vivek and Madhavi; daughter Manisha; grandsons Raj, Samir, and Amit; and his loving elder brother and younger sister, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, nieces and nephews, and his countless dear friends around the globe.
An architect by profession, he lived life to the fullest, artistic and creative to his core, a lover of acting and directing plays, painting, Indian classical music, and a world traveler to six continents. He was a pioneer in bringing Maharashtrian culture to the U.S. and a respected leader in the community.
Always known for his magnetic charm, natural sense of humor, observational wit, and social, loving, generous, and humble nature.
He was a guiding light to his family and to all those who knew him.
We loved him dearly. We will miss him profoundly.
