Daulat Dipshan of Greenwich, CT passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully on Feb. 7 at the age of 68. He is survived by his four children, Nalisha, Shivaun, Ricci and Aurum, as well as his brother Gobind and sisters Padma, Hema and Nirmala. He was predeceased by his late wife Maya Harilela.
Daulat was born in Manilla, Philippines in 1950 to his loving parents Dipchand Dayaldas and Kalawanti Dipchand. After leaving home at the age of 17, he traveled around Asia and Africa before settling down in Toronto to start his career in hospitality. He then relocated to New York City in the 1970s where he worked as the General Manager of the UN Plaza Hotel. It was during this time that he met his wife Maya. The couple soon welcomed two daughters into their lives, and shortly after moving to Greenwich, two sons. During his career, Daulat was a successful hotelier. Following the death of his wife in 2005, he devoted his time to promoting natural medicine and healthy living.
Above all, Daulat was a loving husband, father and brother. He was also an unwavering optimist who was committed to creating a lasting impact on the lives of everyone he met.
Daulat will be sorely missed by his family and friends who will carry on his legacy of hope, unequivocal love and taking time to live life to its fullest.
