Dr Tewari and Bhabiji will be remembered as good family friends of ours since 1975. When Dr. Tewari moved to the US, I spoke to him a few times, which reminded me of the good times we had as family friends. With a heavy heart I am very sad to hear of his passing. I pray to God to grant his soul a place in heaven and give enough strength to his sons Rajiv and Teeny and the rest of the family to bear his loss. My sons Alok and Sameer remember his kindness, gentleness and sense of humour very well.

I feel extremely sorry for the passing of a good friend and mentor, Dr. J.P. Tewari. Besides being a great scholar, he was a thorough gentleman and a compassionate and honest person willing to help anyone. I had the privilege to work with him on several research projects in plant pathology at the University of Alberta; he amazingly had a vast knowledge about any topic in mycology and botany that we wanted to initiate research on. May He grant peace to the departed soul and comfort to the family!

A kind and gentle soul is how we remember Tewari ji. We are sorry for your loss and pray God grant him eternal peace.

My condolences to Dr. Tewari’s family on his passing. I was recruited as his replacement at the University of Alberta following his retirement in 2003. As a young professor, I greatly appreciated Dr. Tewari’s kind mentorship – he was very generous with his knowledge and wisdom. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Tewari helped me to move from Saskatoon to Edmonton, and helped immensely to settle in the new place and new job. I have known Dr. Tewari and Mrs. Tewari since 1990. He was always available for his good advice. I will always miss him. My condolences to the family.

I am deeply saddened at the passing of my dear friend Dr. Jalpa Tewari. When we were in Edmonton, we had frequent professional and social exchanges. My wife, Kamla Tiwari and Mrs. Ishwari Tewari worked in the same office for some time and they were very close.
Dr. Tewari was very thorough in his scholarship and very amiable man. We send our condolences to his family and hope Sanjiv and Rajiv can gather enough strength to face this loss.
We pray for his eternal peace.

We only had the privilege of meeting him a handful of times. I remember a sophisticated, caring and intelligent man. Very sad for his passing amd wishing you all our condolences.

We are deeply sadded with the news of passing away of Dr. J.P. Tewari. We feel extremely sorry for the passing of such a good friend.

I (Kishan Saxena) knew JP since long time back during 1956-1960 when we both were students in Lucknow University, India. Our friendship came into existence becausre JP was in students politics in the Faculty of Science and I too was interested in it. He first met me in the university campus to request me to vote for him in the elections. I left the Lucknow University in 1961 and after that we met again in Edmonton, at the University of Alberta after a long time and we both were married and had children also. Our friendship actually grew stronger and deeper in Canada. Although our connectivity was lessened when our family temporarily moved out of Edmonton at times and the finally to we moved to Victoria, BC.

We wish JP be in peace in the company of the All MIghty and his wife Ishwariji there. Besides being a great Rsearch Scienecist and a greast Teacher, he has always been equally important part of our society as a compassionate, kind, generous, and always eager to provide help to anyone in need of any help.

Dr. Tewari is no longer with us in the material sense, but we all must understand that he is still part of us through the common continuum of life, the Supreme Power of God, that the life within each of us is also part of. We all, always remain connected through the Supreme Continuum of Life, the All Mighty.

May God grant true peace to the departed soul and strength to family and friends to bear this loss. It is time to wipe our tears and celebrate the great life of this great person.

God has blessed us with memories so that we can see roses bloom continuously all the time; and we will through his Memories.

I first met Dr. Tewari in 1978, when I was an undergrad technician working for Dr. SK Malhotra in the Biological Sciences Electron Microscopy Lab at the University of Alberta. Five years later, when I was supervising the City of Edmonton’s Pest Management Lab and needed help with elm tree disease identification, I called on Dr. Tewari for advice. Within six months, his complementary diagnostic services helped develop the City of Edmonton’s annual elm wilt disease survey. This survey continues to be an early detection system for Dutch elm disease in the City’s impressive population of DED-free American elms.

So began my long-term mentorship with Dr. Tewari in the understanding of many tree and weed diseases. Along the way, this blossomed into a wonderful friendship with JP. I treasure all those Faculty Club dinner discussions, the many hours at his Lab looking at tissue samples, and the chai teatime visits with JP and Ishwari at their home.

I do regret never having taken a class in plant pathology from JP, but through his kindness and generosity, I ended up learning a great deal from him. I have gained so much more than just book knowledge from knowing this brilliant man. Having met several of his grad students over the years who are now themselves University professors and government research scientists, I know that JP had a huge impact on many people.

JP was truly the “Father of Plant Pathology”. He leaves a legacy of important research that will forever garner respect from his colleagues around the world. But it is his great warmth, generosity and kindness that I will always remember and treasure.

May JP and Ishwari rest in peace together.

My condolences to the Tewari family. Dr. Tewari was a kind and gentle man, a distinguished scientist and a true mentor. May his memory be a blessing.

Saroj and I were saddened to learn that JP had died. Even though we had not had the pleasure of his company for over ten years, great memories of social gatherings in Edmonton flooded back. He always accompanied Ishwari to Sindhi Association functions. Now they are together again. We extend our condolences to the family and trust they may be comforted knowing that JP has glided into Brahma Nirvana the Peace of the Eternal.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and prayers for Prof. Tiwari. I met him and his wife in Edmonton at U ofA where I stayed from 1968 to1978. I was doing my Ph.D.and then Post Doc. Later I met him India also. I loved the family. I remember the kids who were sweet and nice.
God bless
