Dear Uncle Ji, you, Auntie Ji and my parents connected due due circumstances over 40 years ago, and through that developed a long standing friendship which only strengthened over the years.. You were dad's closest friend, more akin to an elder brother and always showed the true qualities of a trusted friend, brother and confidant. As a man and as an Uncle we have only ever had the upmost respect for you, your achievements, your wisdom, never judgmental or a bad word to say about anyone.. A true example of how to live a full life and bring happiness to those around you. We will all miss you dearly, rest in peace.. Surjit Singh and Dalbir Kaur Kharay, Ian & Babli, Tajinder, Gurcharan and all the children.. Xx
