Narendar Jaswal Obituary
NARENDAR "NED" JASWAL
On August 14 2014 with his family at his side, Mr. Narendar "Ned" Jaswal passed away after a short stay in Burnaby General Hospital at the age of 85.
He is survived by his children; Susie, Sarita, Bill (Nicole), and Anita; grandchildren Jalees, Rya, and Kira; and his brother Jograj of India.
He was predeceased by his wife Rani in 1989, his parents, and his brother Joginder.
Born on March 13 1929, Ned was raised in the village of Bham, India. He began his teaching career in India prior to his marriage to Rani in 1953. With daughter Susie, they moved to Canada in 1961, where Ned completed his teaching re-certification at UBC. He took his first and only job in Kamloops, teaching math at NorKam Secondary, until retiring in 1992. He loved his life in Kamloops and was proud to be able to stay there for the remainder of his life.
Ned loved to watch his grandchildren grow and to hear of their accomplishments. He could often be seen at a soccer field cheering from the sidelines. They lovingly called him Baba. He was also a beloved Brother, Uncle, and 'Grandpa" to many extended family members. He was proud of his extended family and of the respect they showed him as the elder statesman.
Ned was a devoted family man. He supported his community through his many volunteer activities. He loved spicy foods and became an excellent cook. He also enjoyed a few glasses of scotch while at a family gathering, playing cards, or arguing about politics. He was a news and political aficionado and also loved watching sports...hockey, football or any sports on tv...he especially loved to cheer for his favourite team, the Montreal Canadiens.
Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, September 6, 10:30 AM at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the BC Schizophrenia Society at www.bcss.org
