He also played French horn, violin, clarinet, organ, and piano. Throughout his life, classical music was playing in the background at home or in the car. For over five decades Jal was a devoted member of choral groups including Vineland Community Chorus (later known as Singing Ambassadors of Vineland) He volunteered for the American Vegan Society. Since 1966 and particularly in his “retirement” years, Jal helped Darius promote their father’s color health system, Spectro-Chrome, with the nonprofit Dinshah Health Society. Jal loved trees and creating landscapes. His weekends were spent taking care of the woods and in contemplation of the scenery. Jal is survived by his wife of over 55 years, Ursula (Plotzki) Dinshah age 92, adult children Michael and Connie, and grandchildren Alex, Eric, Ben, and Nardos Seiler, as well as brother Darius (95), and many nieces and nephews.
