Dr. Singh was a good man and great doctor. I worked as his Operations Manager for almost 5 yrs. Perfectionist, professional, and pioneer. He will be missed. RIP Dr. Singh.

A special man and special family. Great Doctor but more important great human with a world wide view. It has been a while but good friends are never forgotten, or their kids weddings or the words of wisdom passed along at a hospital talent show..."don't worry, be happy"...Kanwar and Sutnam even though the Sikh's and the Christians have a similar view on the afterlife, both of us know that DNA is passed along and even scientist can agree that is a form of everlasting life. Kanwar lives on, for sure.
Sutnam...Karen and I still eat Indian food at least twice a month...we will never forget either one of you.
