Keki Bhote Obituary

Keki's clear teaching on Variables Search and other practical methods made it possible for me to facilitate cross-functional teams to analyze complex processes and solve the toughest problems.

Keki Uncle, you live on through your wonderful family. I am privileged and blessed to have known you.

I met Keki Bhote when my wife Gloria and I attended his day-long seminar on design of experiments. I asked him questions and he gave me clear concise answers and kind words.

Over the following years I had occasions to call him for advice on productivity and quality improvement projects I was doing, and he always took the time to patiently give me the right answers. I was always thrilled to get a callback from Mr. Bhote.

Much of what I do would not have been possible without Keki Bhote´s uniquely effective teaching methods. They´re still among the world´s best tools for productivity and quality improvement. His book World Class Quality remains among the most relevant standards anywhere.

Our Dear Mehroo and Family,
We are so sad to hear of the passing of this great man. Husband, father, philanthropist, and our friend, Keki. He will be missed terribly. May you find comfort, peace and tranquility with the wonderful memories he has left you.

Keki shared his insight and wisdom with an amazing generosity of spirit, and earned the respect and admiration of all of us who worked with him at Motorola University. My most sincere condolences to your family on the loss of this truly wonderful man. May he rest in eternal peace. Susan Hooker

Uncle Keki,

As Keki wrote about World Class Quality, he leaves a World Class Legacy to those who worked with him. He will be sorely missed.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of a very kind, loving and thoughtful man. I knew and worked with Keki for many years at Motorola University. He will be truly missed by your family and many others.

Dear, dear, Mehroo and Family, I know how deeply you will miss this compassionate, brilliant man who touched my life and so many others with his quiet, gentle ways. His memory will live on in the kind and gentle acts practiced each day by those whose life he touched. May you find peace in knowing he was loved by so many.

The God of all comfort will comfort you in your time of sorrow. (2Cor. 1:4)

Dear Bhote family,

It is a very special person whose passing can make you rejoice through the tears. Such a person was Keki Bhote. It was always so pleasant to be around him and enjoy his gentle manner. And though he was a man of great intellect, he communicated a certain humility and interest in what others had to say. While we have lost a special person, he left a great deal behind. A body of professional work that will continue to teach others, and a family influenced by an exemplary role model.

Our most sincere good wishes,
The Weinberg Family

THE LOSS OF KEKI IS A LOSS FOR ALL OF US. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS COMRADESHIP, SERVICE ON THE SCHOOL ABOARD, IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND HIS PERPETUAL SMILE.

WITH WARM CONDOLENCES AND LOVE TO THE FAMILY.

A legacy, infinite.
Keki kaka will live on in the legacy he has left to all of us - his love, compassion and feeling for others. May all our grief mellow with time into beautiful memories.

I remember Keki Uncle and Mehroo Aunty as the wonderful relatives to brought me the gift of books and reading. Now an entire room in my house is dedicated to books and study. I'd like to think it is a little-known Bhote trait that I have gladly inherited. His writing and public service will always be an inspiration. Thinking of you all xx

A lovely human being. Always remembered.

Dadi, Khorshed and family

May he be resting in peace, watching down on those whose lives he had touched and his family who adore him.

My uncle's passing on has been a great loss for me personally. I have always admired him for his sterling qualities, wisdom, achievements and the services he gave to his fellow beings, all around the globe. May his soul rest in peace. Amen! My deepest condolences to his wife, Mehroo Bhote and all my cousins & their families. His memory will always be etched in my mind, forever.

I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through and how difficult all this must be for you. Please know that we are always there for you. Whether to talk or cry or even just sit in silence with you.

I entered Motorola family in 1968.At that time Keki's name was so well known to all and I was told he was the first "Indian" to be a Motorolan.I got to know him a bit later and then some from his examplary leadership and unconditional dedication to Customers,Products and Processes.
Thank you Keki for making my path easier and May God give you peace a tranquility you so well deserved.
My condolences to the entire family.

Sorry for your lost. May the family find comfort in God's word the Bible.

May God be with the friends and family during this difficult time.

We are very sad to be without Keki. Our most heartfelt love goes out to Mehroo and the family.

Our deepest sumpathy to you and your family. Hopefully fond memories of your husband and your children will help you get through this sad time.
Fondly, Ron and Lori Jagoda
