In loving memory of Sardar Tarlochan Singh Dhingra ji, 87, who sadly passed away on 3 January 2021 after a severe stroke. He was strong-willed and showed signs of recovery but sadly succumbed to the Covid virus.
Tarlochan ji was born on 11 February 1933 to Bhai Saran Singh & Atma Kaur Devi ji in Mian Channu, Punjab, now in Pakistan. He was the youngest of a large family and only four brothers and a sister survived the move from Pakistan. His parents passed away when he was just three years old and was brought up mostly by his siblings.
In 1947, with the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan, he was amongst the many millions that migrated to India from the now Pakistan. He witnessed many horrible travesties which he always struggled to recount and share because of the huge emotions that it invoked. The family was separated and they lost everything in the move apart from the clothes they were wearing. Fortunately they were reunited in Amritsar and subsequently moved to Jalandhar.
He married Surjit Kaur on 25 February 1958 in Delhi, and they have 4 children. The three sons, Inderpreet, Harpreet and Kulbir were born in Jalandhar, and daughter, Janakdeep, was born in London.
He recognised the importance of education early on and was the only one in his family to go to university where he studied Chemistry. He went on to become a Lecturer at the Leather Tanning Institute of India. He decided to continue his education and had admission to study Leather Technology at Leeds University in the UK. Unfortunately, due to poor health he was unable to proceed.
Tarlochan ji migrated to England in June 1966 staying initially in East London. He shared a house with people that he considered very dear friends, just like family. His wife and children then joined him in the UK in August 1967.
Coming to the UK was one of his most significant life decisions and a clear reflection of his commitment and desire to ensure his family had opportunities that perhaps were not available to him when he was younger. After working at BT during his early years in the UK, he started his own small business during the early 80’s and remained a self employed businessman right up to his retirement in 2000. He held himself to exceptionally high standards and his integrity and work ethic were obvious to see by everyone. Likewise he continually instilled these values in his family and surrounded himself with a like minded circle of friends and colleagues.
He was a very social person and always loved to have large gatherings at his family home. He built up a community of friends from the moment he stepped into the UK. Many remained a part of his life to this very day with some friendships going back to his childhood in India. His humble, friendly and gentle manner was always accompanied by a twinkle in his eye that ensured a joke would never be too far whilst enjoying a nice drink!
Tarlochan ji was inseparable from his wife of nearly 63 years of marriage. He cared deeply for his wife who was in the advanced stages of Parkinsons and continued to look after her until the very last day before his stroke. He always wanted to share all his experiences with his wife, whether it was a hot cup of tea or a trip to Australia. His love and dedication to his wife was a beautiful example of his heart-warming and selfless nature.
He was fortunate to be able to travel to numerous places around the world visiting family and friends as often as he could. On many trips he would go out of his way to make time to visit friends en-route, even if it sometimes meant a long detour. It was this effort and welcoming manner that also encouraged old friends to come by simply to say hello - his door was always open.
Tarlochan ji was a very spiritual man and always saw the good in everyone. He was compassionate, kind, caring and generous, always there to help anyone in any way he could. Without a doubt these were his hallmarks, as can be seen by the many messages received remembering him for his generosity and love.
He is survived by his wife, Surjit Kaur ji, 4 children and 11 grandchildren. Through his family and friends he leaves a great legacy of Kindness, Care, Compassion, Generosity and Love.
