Charanjit, lovingly known as Lalli, moved to Merritt in the summer of 1980 from Jalal Usmaan, Punjab, India. A devoted father, husband, brother, uncle and friend, Lalli approached every challenge with a smile. It was this dedication that allowed him to work his way up from a clean up employee at Ardew Wood Products to a successful business owner in the community. Lalli had a big presence in every room with his infectious laugh and kind heart - he left an impact on every person he met, making them feel like they mattered.
Until his last moment, Lalli was a true warrior, putting up the fight of his life with a big smile on his face. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all who knew him.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 20th at 11am at the Merritt Civic Centre, followed by a ceremony and lunch at the Merritt Sikh Temple.
