Mr. Pannu was a favourite teacher of mine at Elmwood High School. He had a nice balance of structure and kindness. My sincere condolences to his family. Donna Chonstkewich - Posted by: Donna Chonstkewich (Former student) on: Jan 23, 2023

He was a fun teacher who provided structure with concise explanation. His class allowed me to receive a high mark, which I used, to apply to Phys. Ed, plus two other degrees, and now am a teacher also, for the last 24 years! Inspirational man! His methods will live in with me! Condolences. - Posted by: Darrell Mazur (Student, 1973) on: Jan 02, 2023

Mr Pannu was my grade 10 home room teacher as well as biology. He was a kind soft spoken man willing to take the time to explain something. I have nothing but good memories of this gentleman. - Posted by: RON KOHLER (Former Student ) on: Jan 01, 2023

So very sorry to learn of the passing of Ranjit, your husband and father. He was my neighbour in his Pine Falls days (way back). His positive and happy spirit I'm sure touched many people in a positive way. You will have many happy memories and anecdotes to share in the days ahead. - Posted by: Diane Mang (Erhart) (Friend) on: Jan 01, 2023

Mr Pannu was our high school biology teacher. His classes were the best, always fun and informative. I will always remember Mr Panmu for his kind and encouraging words, not to mention his smile. I wish to extend my condolences to his family, may they fondly remember him for he was a true gentleman. Heaven has gained a true scholar. May he rest in Peace - Posted by: Jutta Dreilich (Student at Elmwood high school) on: Dec 31, 2022

Mr. Pannu was my science teacher. I enjoyed attending his classes and learning about biology in the world from him. He was kind, patient, and knew how to add some light comedy when teaching life's lessons to his students. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Tunie (Former Student) on: Dec 31, 2022
