Our deepest condolences to the family of my dearest friend Gogi 🙏
May he’s soul rest in eternal peace 🙏
May God give strength to the family members to bear this immense loss 🙏
Such a nice guy. I’ll always remember The Greater Gogi Open golf tournaments out at Barrhead (which his team often won!) 😉
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Gogi. He was truly a kind-hearted individual with a wonderful sense of humor. His presence brightened our workplace; his retirement was far to short. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory bring you comfort and peace.
Gogi and I met in Arusha. We were classmates in Arusha Meru Secondary School. And were badminton buddies for 4 years. Every evening, rain or shine, we met for 2-3 hours. And then… we went our separate ways.
Decades later, fate put us in touch with one another. It felt like no time had passed since we were in school!
Gogi made it so easy to restart our friendship. We spoke off and on. And we texted each other when we weren’t talking.
Then suddenly… this news!
Gogi – I know you are up to some mischief somewhere up there. With that naughty glint in your eye.
God Bless, my friend. You will be in my heart and mind.
Hi Gogi I only met you last summer for few golf outings. But one thing is certain you make every outing fun with your Corky humor. My sincere condolences to all family, colleagues and friends. We your friends at Northern Beat golf course going to miss you dearly. I assure you ,we your buds at NORTHERN BEAR golf course going raise a pint in your honor to celebrate your life and
Friendship this coming golf season.
REST IN PEACE DEAR GOGI.
Mike Hundal & Friends.
Please accept my condolences May wahe guru grant him peace Kuldip will be missed dearly as a good friend and a classmate And May Wahe guru grant the whole family strength to bear a big loss Sat Sri Wahe Guru SAA 🙏🏼
Hi , I’m Bhavna , know Kuldip from Arusha, AMSS classmates. A very heart breaking and shocking news!
Gogi such kind , softly spoken gentleman!
Will miss him in our chat group.
Condolences to you and the entire family.May his soul attain peace and pray for you to continue your journey in life. Om Shanti 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My sincere condolences to the Lalh Families for their loss. I was very upset & shocked to hear about Gogi passing away. I have been communicating with him on a daily basis on WhatsApp since he visited UK for Jite Paji’s birthday last year. In our communication on 28th March 2024 he requested that we call each other when we can as he said he had retired. So we agreed we would talk on the weekends. However we weren’t able to make that happen in the last two weeks for some reason or the other. May Waheguruji give strength to the Lalh families in this very difficult time. May his soul RIP 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
A Jolly soul will be sorely missed,gogi may your soul rest in peace, till we meet again.
Iam deeply saddened and shocked to loose a child hood friend..Gogi
Such a nice personalty where we spent the evenings together playing badminton in arusha and thereafter go for drive in his car.
He loved his music and would often create a drum rhythm on the car bonnet and had great time together in arusha.
Will deeply miss and pray to the almighty to give strength on this such a tragic lose
May he rest in peace
I knew Gogi since his childhood in Arusha. After immigrating to Canada, coincidentally, we both ended up living in Edmonton and with his eldest brother Joginder, we were neighbors for a while just 4 houses apart! We met often at some mutual gatherings and while
Shopping. I met Gogi on March 26 while shopping at Costco and talked about going out for lunch sometime next week! His sudden passing away came as a shock and heartbreaking news to me.. My deepest and heartfelt condolences to his wife and all members of his family at this time of sorrow and grief. May the Almighty keep his kind soul in eternal peace.
Waheguru-Waheguru-Waheguru.
I am sad to hear about the passing of Gogi. He was truly a good friend with a wonderful sense of humor. His presence brightened the workplace for me & others; his retirement was far to short. My condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. May his memory bring you comfort and peace. We golfed less together than I thought we might, I will miss him.
Our whole family is so saddened by the passing of Kuldip. We have known one another since childhood in Arusha, Tanzania. Our families knew each other.
We started at primary school, went on to secondary school, and coincidentally were not only the two classmates who ended up in Edmonton, but ended up working for the same organization. Kuldip’s smile, his dry wit, his sharp intelligence and kind nature will be so missed.
I will always remember him as a gentle and kind and helpful soul.
Until we meet again – Waheguru ji 🙏🏼
I am saddened and shocked to hear of Gogi’s passing. My heart goes out to his close ones and all of us that knew him. I know Gogi from work. He was always cheery, warm, and had a good sense of humour (maybe this was all because he was nearing retirement 😉 But really, I believe it was just his nature). I am deeply saddened that he didn’t get to enjoy much of his retirement. You are sorely missed Gogi.
So so deeply saddened. God bless🙏
Gogi’s good personality preceded my meeting of him. I had heard of peasant and supportive interactions with Gogi before he retired but only met him in person when he returned to CRA after retirement for a short term consulting role. I exchanged pleasantries with him during that time. Even though he did not know me, he introduced himself as I passed by his cubicle and made a wonderful impression on me from that point forward. I hope his friends and family will find comfort in all the words of support and good memories posted from those outside his immediate circle of influence.
My condolences to Gogi’s family. Gogi was a work colleague and friend. I am so sad to hear of his passing.
My heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Lallh family.
Me and kuldip were classmates at Amsc 74.very sadden to hear the news.
let him Rest in peace
Gogi was an absolute gem of a human being! Rest in peace old friend <3
Gogi was a true friend, I talked to him regularly and communicated with him for 2 hours on Friday April 5, 2024 and he messaged me thereafter the next day. I recollect with great satisfaction how helped me after my knee replacement surgery in January and assured me he was there if I needed any more assistance.
I will miss you buddy, may you rest in eternal peace.
This came as a shock to me. I met Gogi at CRA and became good acquaintances. I golfed with Gogi and his friends plus he joined our golf group whenever we were short of players. He would make an effort to get other players to fill the spots. We used to meet for lunch after he retired and chat for hours as time was not an issue. My sincere condolences to his family and may his soul rest in peace
I’m so sorry to hear of Gogi’s passing. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Sincere condolences to Harvinder and our heartfelt sympathy at this most difficult time. Gogi is family to both Bahati and me. My mentor and most trusted friend. He will be missed dearly by many . RIP brother.

I knew Gogi for many years from CRA. He was well liked by everyone. Gogi was such a cheerful fellow and always had a smile. My condolences to his family.
My deepest condolences to all the family, rest in peace🙏🏽 you will be missed by friends and family😔
So shocked and saddened to hear of Gogi’s sudden passing. I just saw him a few weeks ago at the monthly CRA retirees lunch. Gogi and I worked together for many years, had lunch together for many of those years and shared so many laughs. I remember fondly our time working together. He will be missed.
Our Deepest Sympathies and Heartfelt Condolences to Lallh family Gogi was a great younger brother to me we had some great memories to Share when we were growing up in Arusha and Nairobi in 70’s and now when he came to Regina we had some great times eating and sharing a drink he will be very greatly missed as well all his whatsup messaging and the funny jokes that made your day, may he rest in peace till we meet again satnam Waheguru 🙏🌷🙏Hem/Rani Bilkhu
Hello Gogi, I will always remember your delightful giggles and your love for good foods. Your inclusive nature had helped to ease my job transition from the Calgary to Edmonton. I thank you for believing in me and entrusting me to be the “big sister” to the team.
My thoughts are with you and your loved ones.

Our heartfelt sorrow and sadness at the passing of Gogi Paji. May Waheguru rest his soul in peace and give strength to all the family through this difficult time.🙏🙏
One of the nicest people I met. My trips to Edmonton were always memorable because of him.
I am truly saddened by the tragic news and was looking forward to seeing him again this May.
Sincerely condolences goes out to his family!
Thank you for all the wonderful memories, I’ll always remember the adventures in the Edmonton Mall and all those hours on the rollercoaster!
I’ll miss you phupha ji.
Love Inder
It was almost 30 years that Gogi told me his favorite movie ever was the Lion King. He was part of my audit team with Darcy and Steve out on a large file assignment at the time. What a delight! That’s the day I realized how much I really liked this guy.
I will never forget his expression of joy, his smile, his knowledge and insight, his timely humour and trademark giggle that made it such a pleasure to work with him. I was privileged to enjoy all that again and again at the retiree lunches over the past few years.
Gone far to soon and so unexpected. I will miss you my friend and colleague. My condolences to Gogi’s wife and family and to all of us missing our most special friend.
Peace and love in the circle of life,.
Very sad to hear the sad news we will miss U at our golf games may you rest in pease

My heartful condolences to Harvinder and Lallh family. He was one of the nicest person I met. Truly going to miss him. May he rest in peace.
Very sad to hear the sad news. I recently met Jindu Soor and asked him for Gogi’s number. Life….. A great loss for Lalh family, for Arusha family, all friends and relatives. RIP Chachaji.
My condolences to Gogi and his family. I was one of the lucky persons to have worked with Gogi at CRA. I always enjoyed golfing with Gogi and forged some great memories.
I am deeply saddened with the passing of Gogi. We connected after nearly 4 decades and promised to keep in touch. We had planned to meet in August this year but it wasn’t meant to be. May you Rest in Peace my friend. A truly beautiful soul 🙏 Our deepest condolences to the family
Please accept our sincerest condolences at your loss and may God give you the strength at this very extremely sad time.
Heartfelt and deepest condolences from the class of Arusha Meru Secondary School. The group picture slide of the “boys” of the class during the service was a sign of respect and togetherness always. The “girls” were all there in spirit as well.
Kuldip was an active member of the AMSS group chat on WhatsApp. His always infectious smile, his vast knowledge, his love of music and jokes will be missed, but will forever remain in our chat memories.
Until we meet again brother Kuldip (Gogi)
Our condolences to Lallh family from CHANA family. May Waheguru ji apne charna vich nivas bakshan.
Deepest sympathy and condolences to Harvinder and the Lallh family. Gogi was a dear friend of Arun, my Dad. I loved hearing all the stories from “LDG” and I know there will be a void this year. Rest in peace.
Shamala, from England.
I was shocked to hear of Gogi`s passing. We shared some good moments at work as his colleague, and had the pleasure of working closely during our Out of Town Trips. After his retirement, we continued to interact regularly through WhatsApp and sending traditional folk music (Hindi, Urdu & Punjabi) finds on Youtube. I am gonna miss you buddy big time.
Now who`s good send me good videos and interesting clips.
>25 years, Arun and I had the pleasure of you in our lives. You will be missed Gogi. Condolences to Harvinder and your whole family.
Bahati and Arun
