So sorry to have heard of Mohindar's passing. I to worked with Mohindar in Selkirk at the HRC. He used to tease me of being able to write backwards and always seem to get a kick out of that. We would always say "Happy Birthday" to each other as we were a day apart. Thank you Mohindar for the laughs and happy memories at work. My condolences to Sarabjeet and family. - Posted by: Gaylene Sparks (Colleague & Friend) on: Jul 17, 2015

I enjoyed working with Mohindar at the HRC in Selkirk and he also told me things about people from India. I know he will be missed. - Posted by: Leona Strong (co-worker at HRC in Selkirk) on: Jul 10, 2015

Mohindar and I worked together for 12 years and we shared laughter on many occasions. We once offered a presentation on stress management for Selkirk residents following the 1997 flood and no one attended. I used to draw cartoons and say they were to promote the SPCM - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Mohindar, just to stir things up. He enjoyed them and saved them. We even decided there should be an Anti-Social Committee to balance the efforts of the Social Commitee in the workplace. Mohindar was devoted to his family and he will always be missed. I wish to extend my condolences to every member. R.I.P. - Posted by: Bill Stevens (Colleague & Friend) on: Jul 10, 2015
