Navnitlal B. Vora, 97, of Wayne passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family on April 22, 2025. Born in Petlad, India, he traveled to the US in 1996 and settled in Wayne with his son and daughter-in-law. Navnitlal worked as a labor officer in India and later to raise his grandchildren when he came to the US. He worked tirelessly for his community, helping to found the Mahatma Gandhi Center and Hindu Temple, and never failing to help a person in need.

Family was the most important thing in Navnitlal's live. Beloved husband of Dharmistha (Bhatt) Vora. Devoted father of Amol, Ashok and Charu. He lived for his grandchild, often going beyond to ensure they had every opportunity in life. Loving grandfather of Roshan, Aarohi, Shivani, Dharmesh, Pintu, Pinky, Tejas and Dhrashti. He was blessed to see his great-grandchildren grow up, cherished by Arjun, Zeel, Manya, Raghav, Maahir, Vrinda and Manya.
