Dr. Prabhat K. Sehgal, 70, of Southborough Massachusetts, passed away on Sunday, August 29, 2010. He is survived by his loving wife Neena; three daughters, Anupama and son-in-law Thomas Sealey; Neetu and Renika Sehgal; and three grandchildren, Raiya, Shaila, and Ajay. He is also survived by his two younger brothers, Kamal Sehgal and Harsh Sehgal and their families.
At the age of 29, Dr. Sehgal ventured from his homeland of India to the United States to pursue his career aspirations. He had 36-years in a prestigious position in veterinary medicine at Harvard Medical School�s New England Regional Primate Research Center in Southborough. At his retirement in 2006, Harvard honored Dr. Sehgal�s accomplishments and contributions to medical science by naming one of their conference rooms after him during his retirement celebration.
In his retirement, Dr. Sehgal found enjoyment in flying toy helicopters with his grandson, tending to his rose and vegetable gardens with his wife and son-in-law, and teaching his granddaughters the same life lessons he had once taught his daughters. He began and ended every day with his good morning and good night calls and kisses from his three daughters. He could never spend one of those days without his wife, to whom he was endlessly devoted.
Known for his cheerful smile, kind heart and sense of humor, Dr. Sehgal, was always willing to lend a helpful hand and gave continuously and selflessly to both his family and life-long friends. He was the best son, brother, husband, daddy, and nana that any family could ever hope for. He will be honored and missed.
