My heart aches for his friends, family, and all of the UPSers that he impacted throughout his career. You are in my prayers.
God speed, Sanji, your friend Muskie.
Anita, Nikita and Neil – Sanji was one of a kind – which you know. I have worked with Sanji over the years in so many capacities, and in every one of them I always knew Sanji was going to be a great partner, and an even better friend. We have worked hard, long hours, and struggled over obstacles to make our projects/UPS better – and in all of that – we laughed. Laughter is how we get through the day – and Sanji knew that. The other thing I know – is how much he loved you. Even though I have never met you – I feel like I have watched Nikita and Neil grow up – because he talked about you so often. My heart is with you as you navigate without him.
I am so sorry to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. Sanjiv was a great man…kind, compassionate, funny, driven and I could go on. I was lucky enough to work for him and with him for many years beginning during his time in Buffalo. He was much more than a boss…a true friend. We had so many laughs and good times together. The world lost a great man!!!
Dearest family of Sanjiv,
My name is Patti Humble, and I had the sincere pleasure of working with Sanjiv on the UPS Global Accounting Centers a few years ago. We traveled to Singapore and he was always such a gracious gentlemen. So very thoughtful of others at every moment. He has friends everywhere at UPS and has impacted everyone he has ever worked with.
I am so terribly, terribly sorry for your sudden loss of someone so dear. Please know we share your grief.
While I never was able to meet you personally Anita, Nakita, and Neil, talking to Sanjiv thru the years made me feel as if I had always known you. He was a dedicated UPSer and worked hard, but his love, pride, and joy for you was evident and he wasn’t afraid to show that. I worked for Sanjiv and I am thankful for the time that he invested in my life both professionally and personally. I remember many times he would start a conversation with asking about my family before it turned to any work topics.
In the earlier days he loved to talk about me being a Georgia Bulldog. I think I even taught him how to properly say Go Dawgs! It made for some good laughs later when he became the parent of a UGA student. What a man in so many ways and I know you will miss him dearly. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Dear Anita – I am so sorry to hear about Sanjivbhai’s untimely passing away. It’s hard to think of the right words and though trite, time alone will help the healing process.
May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.
I had known Sanjiv for over 20+ years, from the East Region to Corporate. We talked many times over the years about work and personal issues as well. I had just spoke to him a couple week ago as both of us are working on the same project. He was as genuine as they come. A great, hardworking UPSer and even better human being. Taken from us too soon and I will miss him. While his voice has been silenced, he will forever be in our hearts and minds.
It saddened me deeply to hear about Sanjiv’s passing. He was such a loving, positive and uplifting person. He always spoke fondly of and how proud he was of his family. He will be missed by so many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was so sad to hear about Sonji. I have fond memories when we were neighbors. Sonji was the life of the party. We were blessed to have known him. We were all UPS’ers. I remember the time Buffalo had a snow storm and the Town plow pulled him out of the ditch he was in his little red Honda. You Nikita and Neil are in our thoughts and prayers. Sending hugs and prayers to you during this difficult time.
