I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Parbhu. It was an honour to be part of his life and somebody that I will greatly miss. I have beautiful memories of the times we shared and I will cherish those memories. Parbhu showed much interest in Marvik and always encouraging him as a friend in academic and sports. To his family Tara, Lynda, Prakash and Cath I extend my gratitude and love in accepting my family as an extended family of yours. Parbhu's passing will be a big vaccum in all your life's and he will be greatly missed.

Dear Parbhu, you will be remembered for your kindness, your empathy, and your resilience. You and Saroj raised a great family. Both of you will always have a special place in my heart. Go in peace.

I will always remember fondly our catch ups and conversations, especially our one's over a cup of tea at your dinning room table. Thank you so much for choosing to share your time with me. I always felt richer for having spent time in your presence.
