He passed on his love to everyone around him. He would stop and talk with everyone on his morning and evening walks. He made friends with young and old. He made sure to speak with those in Livingston and loved ones around the world on the phone sharing the good and bad. He was a support system for many.

Daljit Singh loved doing Nitnem in the morning. He went to the Gurdwara every single day. He loved gardening. In his backyard, he grew all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He loved doing Seva (selfless-service). Whether at the Gurdwara, a Nagar Kirtan or someone’s program at their house, you could find him helping make and serve langar. He loved the servants of the Guru, including paathis, laangris, sevadaars. He loved having his morning and afternoon tea. He loved eating hot rotis right off of the stove. He was a great chef. He knew how to make all kinds of Punjabi foods. Daljit Singh loved his wife and children. We are all lucky to have known him and hope to continue his legacy through the love we share with everyone around us.
