Ajit Garcha Obituary
July 5, 1949 - October 12, 2011
(October 13, 2011 India)
Ajit S. Garcha has been a physician since 1974 and a physician in Redding since 1982. Born in New Delhi India on July 5,1949. From village Majara, India near Sanahwal/Ludhiana India. Widely known for his clinical abilities and patient care. Ajit excelled in 3 different specialties; Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology and finally Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He graduated at 16 years of age, entered medical school and became a doctor in his early 20's in Hyderabad, India. Ajit was known for his extraordinary compassion, unpretentious style, exemplary clinical skills, quick wit, and easy smile.
His is survived by his 3 daughters, Vindy (Devinder) Garcha, an emergency room physician. His second daughter Kiran (means ray of light), born one day after Ajit, enrolled in UCLA working on her Masters continuing toward her PHD and devoted two years of her life to the US peace corps in Africa. His third daughter, Naseem, which means fragrant breeze, has been an artist and writer and planned to travel to Paris.
He is also survived by his other half, Connie Dell'Anno, his collaborator, partner, soul companion, and best friend. In addition, he is survived by a large and loving family: his sister ManjitBhenji Bhandal of Fremont, CA USA; his sister SurjitBhenji and Jagjit Hara of Kanganwahl, India (won best farmer in all of India); his brother Dilbaugh Garcha (engineer) and sister-in-law, Kumal (physician) of Redding, CA. Many nephews and nieces including Smiley, Dan, Varoon, Sabrina, Bobby; (cancer physician), Probjoyt; (family physician), Taj, Smira, Bintu, Teeto; (computer specialist), Dolly (social worker), Baby (Business owner), Bubbly (homeopathic doctor); Ritu, Ginny (both dentists) all in India and Ronnie, Dilbaugh's and Kumal's son, studying to be a cardiologist in Houston, TX. Many, many friends worldwide were held by Ajit and Connie.
Ajit spent his childhood years in New Delhi and traveled to his village Majara for summer breaks to be with his extended family near Ludhiana. He has many fond memories of going to the Jumuna River in New Delhi. Many tender gatherings in the family home with extended family, sitting on the Piti's in the kitchen as Ruti's were made hot off the stove. He always affectionately remembered going back to his village Majara and getting to drive the oxen…"TaTaTa Ha"-later we would go and revisit those sites. His sister, SurjitBhenji (Masters in education) assisted him in his school work when he was little and later that helped Ajit excel in school becoming educated in 3 different medical specialties in the USA. His Father Bapuji, Dr. Dalip Singh, knew the importance of partaking in and exposing all his children to multiple cultural events. His parent Dr. Dalip Singh was singled out as 1 of only 2 qualified Indian physicians to come to the states to study at John Hopkins University, he was appointed as a captain of the Indian army, and later administered positions in the Indian Government and World Health Organization to eradicate Malaria and other infectious diseases. His mother was an especially spiritual, caring, loving person and assisted the family as well as many people in the community in figuring out social/spiritual issues.
As an individual, Ajit was an immeasurable person as his Father, Brother, Uncle, and Life Partner, coming form another country he was successful with multiple businesses; in addition to becoming a physician and surgeon; he lived in many places including California, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Washington, and in Oregon.
He was Director of Rehab in Redding, CA when it was Redding Medical Center. He was also Director of Rehab at Eureka General, in Eureka, CA. He was extraordinarily hard working, he opened multiple clinics all over CA, and at one time 7 clinics were open all at the same time. He passed the USA FLEX exam as the only doctor at that time, out of 76 doctors, all from different countries around the world.
In addition Ajit was an accomplished pilot. He enjoyed astronomy, inventing things, dancing/Bhangra, traveling, telling jokes, observing wildlife/nature, and he was extremely ethical, diligent, and extraordinarily hard working.
He was remarkably smart, funny, loving, and decent dear person who will be utterly missed by all his loved ones.
Just to be by his side again is my only wish, his loving aspara and mate, Connie

Dr Garcha was a great person, i met him in 94 in redding.He gave me a ride in his pvt plane, after 3 decades I was searching about Dr Sahib today and I was shocked to know about his death. He was so polite, down to earth and great person.

Such a sad story, after all these years, I still can't believe he is gone, brilliant neurosurgeon and PMR Doctor. He is only doc that helped me as well, after auto accident. The passing of one person affects so many others and we can never know how the universe wants the passing to impact all those that are left.
RIP, Dr. Ajit Garcha, hope you are well where you are,I am grateful I helped you with every fiber of my being when you walked among us. There is some consolation knowing I made your life easier. Sat Sri Akal

Gia Halla! I loved this man. He healed me and I am forever grateful. I will always remember his smile. My wife needs help now so I started to search for him only to find this, his obituary. I was saddened to learn of his passing but what a wonderful eulogy. What a great man! The world will miss him and so do I.

Well, here we are again, how can it be the 6th year anniversary when when lost you in 2011 on a beautiful autumn day in October?
It is hard to accept we are all just passing through...
we miss you and wish your presence was still here on this plane so we could laugh and have fun with you as we always did....remember the motorcycle ride from Isru to Majara in Punjab when it started pouring and I wrapped my chunni around your head to try to keep you dry without success, we were quite the sight stopping in for tea soaking wet....or when you were sitting near the pump house here in pics as a child and just got up to move when a huge branch fell out of the tree, how fortunate you felt to still be alive...so many good memories I'm sure for all your family and friends.
you are a good man...some pics of ancestral farm land and you enjoying...dancing...sharing stories of your childhood, loved every minute with you, mere saya, jeevan sathi...see you soon at the beginning of time...your aspara

Well, here we are again, my dearest sweetheart...4 years now marked that you have left us for the heavenly abode. It never gets easier, miss you as much as the first days of loss. Wish you were here so I could cook you my peppers and onions you loved or we could take a walk during beautiful autumn days like we used to love to do, climbing the mountain behind out house. But alas, we'll have to do that when we see each other next time. Your tree I planted for you is doing well, overlooking my mountain. Miss your laughter and your playfulness and all your joy you had to share, you are a beautiful being. Much love every moment of every day of every month, of every year. My dearest miter, yar, comrade, amigo, piasano..Sat Sri Akal RIP

Dearest Ajit,
Happy birthday, it is hard to believe that you would be 65 years old this birthday. Miss you terribly my friend, all your treasured memories come to me everyday. The pain is still great...i still can't open the suitcase with which we traveled and the accident happened. all these years later. I just found the train tickets dated 10.11.11 when we were in Frankfurt in your coat pocket, just hours before we lost you. You'll never be forgotten dearest and sweetest soul. All is forgiven, RIP.
May 31, 2014
Dearest Ajit,
I cannot believe my eyes...today when I saw your office in Redding burnt and all the other lessees gone; Dr. Lee the dentist and the surveyor.
It is so disheartening to see where we first met, where once there was so much life and so many patients helped and healed...you have gone and now even where you were for decades is now all gone.
Your legacy lives on my friend...all the healing and care and friendship/kind word you offered everyone you met...lives on.
love you so very much, wherever you are dear one,connie
On the way to Pinjore Gardens...miss you something terrible dearest sweetheart. Your PJ's hang in the closet as if you never left

Dearest Ajit,
We are all missing your presence in our lives so much. Your laughter, your playfulness, everything about you; your absence is a great void in our hearts.
I am so happy to remember all the details about you and yet when I do the sadness overwhelms once again, upon the realization we don't get to see your mischievous smile once again. I hope the angels are watching over you closely and I pray for all the best karma for you in the next incarnation. Love you very, very much dearest decent soul.

Happy Birthday dearest heart, what galaxy are you traveling to now?

Ajit, your untimely departure from all the loved ones, particularly your loving wife Connie, has brought upon emotional devastation that is far beyond all our ability to cope. We all miss you and there is not a thing we can do to overcome this feeling of missing you. Farewell my friend,I just wanted you to know you meant a lot to lot of people.

Dear Doc, Not a day goes by I don't think of you. I miss your vibrant smile and your laughter. It was music to my ears..My friend, my buddy, I will never forget you. I love you.....
October 12, 2013
10.13.13 marks the 2nd year anniversary of the passing of our beloved Dr. Ajit S. Garcha.
I am so grateful to have known you and your family. You have enriched my life tremendously with your unsurpassed traits of intelligence, bravery, diligence, tenacity, hard work, ethics, curiosity, gentleness, humor, and decency. You achieved so much in your life and met most of your goals and dreams. You were an exceptional being, Jita.
The daily tears and sorrow flow but we know you are with the Divine and your family; Bapuji, Bebeji, your sister Surjit Bhenji, and your Uncles Servan and Gurmail, surrounded by love and compassion and protection.
Between Ajit and I, one of our playful interactions we'd do all the time, was we would try to show how much our friendship meant to each other by each of us taking turns coming up with different ways to say the word friend in as many ways or languages it is found that we knew, trying to exceed one another, and whoever could keep coming up with a new word, they were the “winner”; they were the “better” friend. We played that game from first we met, through the years till the end.
So Yar, Mitr, Ally, Comrade, Amigo, Pal, Mitra, Companion, Paisano, Chum, Mate, Partner, Ami, Buddy, Dost, Rafiki, Cara…….
We miss your presence terribly dear Friend, mere Jeevan Sahti, mere Saya Forever, and Peace to your soul
July 23, 2013
Dearest Ajit,
missing you so very much today, can hardly keep the tears back...you would love the heat wave we are having.
My dearest heart, send good wishes to Bapuji and Bebeji.
All our Indian family has been so kind, such beautiful sweet souls. We all miss you tremendously, so sad without you :(
RIP dear loving soul, may God bless you each and every moment. xoxoxoxoxoxox

Remember that is under 5 year contract with city.
I'll miss the store and all the promise it held. Thank you.

Dear Friend,
We had our customer appreciation day yesterday here at the Market. It was amazing. People who love this place were lined up around the building. You would have been happy to see all the smiles, hugs and tears. The partners are unable to purchace the building and so time has come to move on. We have some buyers that may be interested. I am hoping for the best for the Trustee's, and hopefully they will also want some of our business equiptment, so it will lessen the burdon of the ongoing expenses, until things can be sold . We all worked so hard and put our hearts into every moment. It will be hard to watch it go to someone else,but I hope the change will be a positive one. I will do my best to assist the Trustee's in the sale of the property as much as I can. So many are saddened by our departure, but we have been 3 years strong. I am proud of what we have achieved here. My only wish is that we could have seen it through to its full potential. Thank you for the opportunity to promote change in Redding, we have truely made an impact on the people here. We think about you often, missing you my friend.

Suzanne,
I didn't realize you didn't know. Yes, it is a terrible tragedy without end that we lost Doc. I was in accident with him and sustained head injury,ok though just a bit of memory problem and PTSD. The mental agony and grief is the tiger I wrestle with everyday and night; survivor's guilt is extreme. Doc always talked so highly of you and valued your friendship. I will try and call sometime to talk. Doc's worries and burdens are now gone for him which I guess is a micro-consolation, I know he is with the angels now. Look forward to talking with you. Take Care, connie
May 9, 2013
I am so shocked to hear about my favorite Dr and friend! He was always so kind and helpful to me and my husband. He was able to diagnose &tx my injury when no other Dr. In this area had a clue what was happening to me. Connie please contact me and let me know how this happened and how you are doing. Love, Suzanne &Terry Buck (530) 355-9250.

Brink Of Eternity
In desperate hope I go and search for her
in all the corners of my room;
I find her not.
My house is small
and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord,
and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky
and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish
---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean,
plunge it into the deepest fullness.
Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch
in the allness of the universe.
Rabindranath Tagore

Ajit,
It's Baisakhi in India, one of your favorite festivals.
You were so blessed with such prosperity most days of your life, from your parents and your own tenacious and gritty work ethic. Every single day, you never wavered-your nose to the grindstone. I know the angels are singing and dancing Bhangra and Giddha all around you. You are the hardest working person I have ever met.
Miss you, give a hug to Bapuji for me

What Was Told, That
by Jalal al-Din Rumi
translated by Coleman Barks
What was said to the rose that made it open was said
to me here in my chest.
What was told the cypress that made it strong
and straight, what was
whispered the jasmine so it is what it is, whatever made
sugarcane sweet, whatever
was said to the inhabitants of the town of Chigil in
Turkestan that makes them
so handsome, whatever lets the pomegranate flower blush
like a human face, that is
being said to me now. I blush. Whatever put eloquence in
language, that's happening here.
The great warehouse doors open; I fill with gratitude,
chewing a piece of sugarcane,
in love with the one to whom every that belongs!

Dr. Garcha was the only dr. out of quite a few between here, Chico and San Francisco Bay Area that was able to figure out what was wrong with my back. He couldn't heal me completely but did help me get rid of quite a lot of the pain. Without him I don't know how I would have survived to this day. He never gave up on me like the others did. He was always positive. He was a wonderful friend and a special person. I am so grateful to have known him. Thank you Dr. Garcha for all you have done for me. Thank you for making me laugh when I wanted to cry and treating me like a Queen, bowing to me, you were so funny... I never got used to the giant mess on your office desk but in the big picture that was never important. The important thing was how intelligent you were and how many people you helped. Thank you so much my dear friend. I will be forever grateful to you.

Dr. Garcha I am so sorry to hear that you are gone. You were a wonderful Doctor and friend. I wish I could say good bye. Thank you for all the stories of India. Thank you for all the jokes and pranks you pulled on me. Thank you for teaching me how to cook Indian food. Thank you for all the birthday cakes and pies we shared. You made life fun. I hope you are playing pranks up in Heaven. You will be missed.

Ajit Garcha
A kind and gracious man. Always polite and friendly!
He was an intellectual man willing use his talents and gifts to help others. We may ask why would this happen
to such a good man? No one really knows the answer to this question. Perhaps God needed a good man to help Him in a different way. Maybe we all get only a
predetermined amount of time on earth. Ajit will be missed.
Let us honor his memory by loving each other a little more and caring for others as he did.
Connie, & all Ajit's loved ones:
My prayer is that God will comfort you and carry you through this difficult time.
With love

Dear Doc, I wish that Heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. I thought about you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence and I often speak your name, now all I have are memories and a picture in a frame. My memories are a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms but I have you in my heart... RIP my Dear, Sweet Friend, Von

I will miss Ajit as he was one of my best friends. He was a kind soul with such a great sense of humor. One memory i cherish was the night when Ajit and his wife Connie were visiting, Ajit broke out in Bhangra. The world is a much sadder place with his passing.
