My condolences with you and your family.
I am extremely sad to learn about the sudden and untimely passing away of S. Assa Singh Sekhon. He was full of life marked with excellent qualities of head and heart and none of us expected that his end was so near. I do understand the mental agony that the members of his family, relatives, friends and volunteers of Indo-Canadian Community Association must be feeling pangs of his separation in this difficult hour of their profound grief. We mortals can do nothing to prevent the cruel hands of death and have no choice but to accept the Will of the God. All members of the INCA Senior Citizens join me to express our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and we sincerely pray that the departed soul may rest in peace and God gives them the necessary courage and strength to bear this irreparable loss with courage and fortitude. Yours in sorrow!!!!!!

I didn’t know Mr. Singh personally, but I have the great pleasure of working with his son Ajit for over a decade.
The legacy of kindness, integrity and upstanding character Mr. Singh leaves behind in his children and grandchildren speaks to the greatness of his heart and his spirit.
Such greatness is always gone too soon.
My deepest condolences to his family in this difficult time. May you find comfort in your faith and the multitude of family and friends who are wrapping you with thoughts of love and support. Let us be your strength when your fails; I know I speak for more than just myself when I say “You’re not alone.”
Thinking of the Param and Ajit and the entire family during this challenging time. God bless you all and may you remember the fondest memories forever.
