Herpal SANDHU Obituary

HERPAL SANDHU "PAUL" After an accidental fall and cardiac arrest, Paul passed away at Hamilton General Hospital, on May 22, 2023. Team mate and steadfast husband to Teresa (nee Caragata) for over 45 years. A home-for-dinner father and sports coach to Tej (Andrea), Kellan (Angela), and Tristan (Rebekah). Naturally-gifted grandfather to Rhye and Baby-to-Be Sandhu, Mayrakai Boone, and Adelaide and Everett Sandhu. Paul will be terribly missed by his siblings Preme (Eric) and Jeet (Cindy) Sandhu. His father, Chanan and mother, Charan emulated charity and hospitality, giving every Sandhu a legacy to follow. To each and all, Paul was a caring mentor with all of life's challenges. His faith in God and humble, intelligent leadership to both family and colleagues strengthened and encouraged everyone. After undergrad at The University of British Columbia and grad school at University of Victoria, where he was also an active student politician, Paul's career took him places: Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, London, Chicago, Hong Kong, landing safely back in Toronto in 1999. Colleagues (and world-wide clients) from BMO, Solomon Brothers and Goldman Sachs and most especially his winning team at Marret Asset Management are shocked at his early retirement. Super knowledgeable and intuitive, Paul was a regular speaker on current day financial markets both on stage and on screen (BNN). Paul and his family believe in giving. They have participated in various charities including overseas microfinance and youth entrepreneurial programs; in Canada: immigrant resettlement and higher education, housing for homeless, indigenous street youth housing, after-school and food programs. He is an organ donor. Teresa and her family will meet friends at Clearview Christian Reformed Church, 2300 Sheridan Garden Dr., Oakville, on Tuesday, May 30, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. Funeral Service begins 11a.m. (Paul was very punctual). In lieu of flowers, Paul would have recommended contributions to Investing Hope Foundation serving Colombia's poorest, INDWELL Hamilton, and Empowerment Squared, Hamilton. Arrangements entrusted to Smith's Funeral Homes, Burlington, 905-632-3333, www.smithsfh.com

I was very sorry to hear of Paul´s tragic and untimely passing. He was a fun-loving, kind, and smart man. I have fond memories of our first meeting at a brunch he and Teresa prepared in Victoria many years ago. May he rest in peace and may memories of his life on this Earth ease the pain of his loss. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Teresa and their kids and grandchildren, and all Paul´s many family and friends.

Teresa and family - deepest sympathies on your loss. Although I haven´t been in touch with Paul for decades, recently he came to mind as I reflected on people who´d made an impact on me. Paul was a bright light, a grounded and thoughtful colleague and a real mensch when we were student politicians together at UBC. You are very much in my thoughts at this sad time.

Dear Teresa, my heartfelt sympathy to you and family. Paul was a dear friend and I will always treasure how he invited me into your family and treated me so kindly as he would a sister. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend. I will miss him.
