A man who was quiet and pensive but quick with his wit. He was never a conversationalist, but he could always find a way to inject his humor into the situation. He was pragmatic, never sweating the small stuff, and always rolled with life’s punches. He never asked for much but was always willing to give whatever he had.Survivors include his wife, Purnima Singhi; son, Meet Singhi of Tampa, FL; and younger brothers, Dhansukh Jain and his wife Anila Jain and Mansukh Jain and his wife Mona Jain of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. He will be in the loving memory of his nieces and nephews.Rupchandra joins in Heaven, his elder brother Khemraj Singhi.
