Pravin Mohanlal Trivedi

Pravin Mohanlal Trivedi, 82, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 13, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Jashvanti “Jashu” Trivedi; his two children, Hitesh Trivedi and his wife Suzanne Kriegsman; Anjana Trivedi and her husband Charles Heller III; and his grandchildren Kavita, Jay, Neelam, Avni. He also leaves behind a close-knit circle of nieces, nephews, and extended family members across the globe.

Born in Rajkot, India, on April 27, 1943, Pravin’s life was defined by international adventure and a lifelong quest for knowledge. At the age of four, his family relocated to Sudan, where he attended the Omdurman Indian School founded by his father. He moved to England for college to study engineering; it was there where he met his wife and lifelong partner,Jashu.

In 1970, Pravin and Jashu immigrated to the United States with their infant son and eventually settled in Massachusetts where their daughter was born. Over the years, they called Springfield, Westborough, and Shrewsbury home. A brilliant electrical engineer, Pravin’s career spanned several decades and he contributed to the evolution of modern technology. He held roles at Standard Electric Time, Digital Equipment Corporation, and Quantum, where his expertise touched everything from precision clocks and fire alarm systems to the development of disk and tape drives. Later in life, Pravin pivoted to his passion for education, sharing his deep knowledge of science and mathematics as a teacher at Bellingham and Millbury High Schools.

Pravin was a man of diverse talents and "larger than life" personality. He was a gifted writer and a dedicated volunteer, often serving as the primary Audio/Visual expert for local organizations. An early adopter of many passions, he was famously making sourdough bread before it was fashionable. His love for music was eclectic, and included Indian classical music as well as the soulful rhythms of jazz.

Pravin was happiest when spoiling his wife, leading his family on global adventures, helping a friend with a project, telling a joke, drinking scotch with his buddies, cooking mac & cheese for his grandchildren, or simply hanging out at a family gathering. Known affectionately as "the best uncle," he was a man everyone was excited to see, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, intellectual curiosity, and deep devotion.

Visiting hours will be held Thursday, March 19th, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM in the Pickering & Son Westborough Funeral Home, 62 West Main St. Westborough.

His funeral service will take place the following morning, Friday, March 20th, at 10:00 AM in the funeral home.
