  26. CandleI remember Harjinder was one of the first ones to welcome me into the UBC family. He was approachable and was always there to lend a helping hand. Always pleasant and extremely hard working, he was a factor in my career growth.

    I will always cherish the morning walks up 2nd street as he will suddenly appear right next to me at the lights and do our routine morning greetings. The world is missing a good soul now and I know our paths will cross once again.

    My condolences to his loving family

  29. CandleFinally, I had the courage to pen down this remembrance without breaking down.
    I was blessed to work with Harjinder for 5 years who was my team lead/ manager . He always had a gentle smile on his face no matter what the situation was. In our “one on one”meetings, he understood what kinda of work pressure we had and made sure we never burned out. He is the kind of person who always encouraged and motivated us in every aspect of our life. I have personally learnt a lot from him, being good colleague and above all an AWESOME human being. I couldn’t write this without wetting my eyes. Harjinder, you ll be missed.
    Rest In Peace !
