Surinder Mann Obituary
MANN, Surinder Singh December 15, 1945 December 30, 2006 It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Surinder after losing a courageous battle to cancer. He was predeceased by his son Robyn who he dearly loved and is now together in heaven. Words of wisdom and compassion are lost with his passing. The guidance that only a father can offer will be so dearly missed. There is no one who will ever fill this void in our hearts, yet we are so thankful of the time that we had with him. His desire to provide all that he could for his family was so evident in the long hours that he worked without complaint never accepting thanks, only remarking that it was his duty and one way in which he could share his love. We love you and will carry you in our hearts forever. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Shirley and his daughters Jessie and Tracey, his mother-in-law Geejoo Kaur Johal, and missed dearly by his sister-in-Iaws Mindy, Ranjeet (Russ), Abby and brother-in-law Deljeat (Kawaljit), brothers Vijay (Balvir) and Raj (Kulbir) Mann and many nephews and nieces. A special thanks to Beebee, Mahinder, Kulbir and Aneeta Takhar, Mohinder and Darshan Takhar and Auntie Bunt who gave Surinder courage and spiritual support. An exceptional thanks to the medical staff at the Victoria Hospice, Dr. Nazmuddin Merali and Irene for the care and support. A funeral service will be held at First Memorial at 4725 Falaise Drive at 12 noon January 7, 2007 and followed by short service at 2pm at the Sikh Temple, 1210 Topaz. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Victoria Hospice is appreciated. 328580

A life well lived
Is a precious gift
Of hope and strength and grace
From someone who has made our world
A brighter, better place.
It’s filled with memories sweet and sad,
With smiles, and sometimes tears,
With friendships formed
And good times shared
And laughter through the years.
A life well lived
Is a legacy
Of joy and pride and pleasure,
A loving, lasting memory
My grateful heart will treasure.

Sam meant a lot to me in spite of the short tenure of our friendship. He was an unusually deep and talented man with whom I had hoped for a long and caring friendship. We all lost something.
English poet John Donne wrote "no man is an island unto himself, each is a part of the main and if a single man be lost the continent is the lesser." To say the least the continent is lesser for the loss of this man.
I deeply regret not having met Robbie. I feel we had a lot in common both in architectural interests and in outlook.
Shirley, you have unimaginable strength to have seen your way through this double loss. We admire you for it and I believe that, Life being so sacred, both men would not want you lamenting but instead finding ways to celebrate what you did have and what you personally still have. surrendering yourself to dark feelings, beyond a reasonable point would amount to a triple tragedy. With your daugters Jessie and Tracey around you, and to the extent that your mutual suffering brings you all closer together, that at least counts as a good thing, a starting point of a new direction perhaps. I can't replace them as they were a public television special that isn't available commercially.
