They have also mentioned in the eulogy how he lived his life fearlessly. He devoted his life to family and in service to his Waheguru. “Isn’t it completely in dad’s character to bowl us over with the ultimate spin ball, one that even we never saw coming,” Angad wrote.
“While we are in shock and overcome with grief, we find solace in knowing that he lived a rich, fearless and full life that inspired many. We are moved by each and every message of love we have received publicly and personally.” “Thank you to everyone for celebrating his grit, humour and giant heart. It is heartwarming to see how many generations Dad inspired throughout his life. Every day of life was spent in devotion to his family and faith, and in service to his Waheguru. He epitomised living a life that was Nirbhau-Nirvair and we are comforted in knowing that he is with his beloved now.” Angad and Neha wrote in their tribute post.
