In 2000, he began a new chapter when he moved to Denver, CO to be with his children and grandchildren. During his 20-year career in customer service, he was well-known for his friendly presence and unique ability to build relationships with friends and strangers alike. A true embodiment of spirited activity and selfless service, customers often chose to wait in his line for a chance to speak with him.

All who met Mr. Priyeshbhai Yagnik remember him for his never-ending generosity, enthusiastic nature, and pure heart.
