Rajinder Paul Kapani was born on August 15, 1932, in Dahisar, District Sheikhupura, Punjab, to the late Nathuram and Gyandai Kapani. He was the fifth of nine siblings, growing up in a large, loving family. In 1947, his family left their home in Pasrur, Punjab, and traveled through Dharamshala and resettled in Batala.
A man of intellect and service, Rajinder began his career with the Indian Government, working in the Ministry of Finance and in the Department of Rehabilitation under the Ministry of Foreign Services, a role that stationed him in Karachi, Pakistan. On November 30, 1955, he married his wife, the late Santosh Kapani, in Jalandhar. Together, they built a comfortable life in New Delhi, raising their three children-Rajesh, Sunil, and Poonam-with compassion and unwavering dedication.
On July 26, 1976, Rajinder moved to the United States to lay the foundation for a new chapter where he worked for the Fairfax County Government until his retirement in 1998. Never one to slow down, he went on to become a business owner while playing an active role in raising his grandchildren, whom he adored deeply.
Rajinder was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He is survived by his brothers Manmohan and Prem Kapani; sister Kamlesh Verma; son Rajesh Kapani; daughter Poonam Kapani; grandchildren Anjali K Sharma, Anisha K Sharma, and Krish Kapani.
Those who knew him will remember his infectious laughter, boundless generosity, unwavering values, and the joy he found in caring for others. Rajinder led a life rooted in love, resilience, and family. His legacy will live on in the lives he touched, the lessons he passed down, and the enduring bonds he helped create.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Rajinder, please visit our floral store.
