MARCH 1, 1921 ~ DECEMBER 20, 2018 (AGE 97)

(Owner of Merit Furniture chain of stores)

Peacefully at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at the age of 97. Beloved husband of Charan Kaur Sandhu; loving father (and father-in-law), of Preme, Jeet (Cindy) and Paul (Teresa); cherished grandfather of Sameena, Bobby, Geeta, Rubeena, Ricky, Jason, Tej, Kellan and Tristan; adored great-grandfather of Sage, Oriah, Deynan, Jayden, Sitarah and Kaelan, Lukas, Taylor and Jaya, Kieren, Gabriel, May and Rhye. Born on March 1, 1921 in Dhada, Punjab, Chanan immigrated to Canada in 1936. He dedicated himself to assisting family, relatives and friends in the East Indian community to making a better life in Canada. His endless generosity meant literally hundreds passed through his home. He was always surrounded by loving family, immediate and extended, and his final days were no exception. The family would like to thank the fifth floor staff and those of the Palliative Care Unit of the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital who gracefully cared for him. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorial donations to the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation. The visitation, funeral and cremation will take place on Saturday, December 29, 2018. 11:00 am at Yates Memorial Services, 1000 Allsbrook Road in Parksville BC.
