I lost my father a month ago. Giani Gurdit Singh ji passed away on January 17. He breathed his last at our family’s home in Chandigarh. I live with my parents and we met for breakfast, after which he wanted to rest. I said goodbye to him just before I left for office, but within an hour, he had passed away.

On behalf of our family, especially my mother, Sardarni Inderjit Kaur, my brother Ravinder Singh and myself, I would like to express our gratitude to our friends who shared our grief and reached out to us.

Giani ji did accomplish a lot in his life and it will be his family’s endeavour to carry on his legacy. He is so alive in our minds that it is still hard for us to believe that he is not with us physically.

I will be updating his website www.gianigurditsingh.com soon to share what has been written about him in various newspapers and other fora.
