Unfortunately, he had lost his loving granddaughter Roop earlier. His beloved grandson Sanjay left for his heavenly abode soon after Asa ‘s death.

A large number of friends, relatives and well-wishers of the Johal family came to the Gurdwara on Sunday, July 12 to pay respect to Mr. Johal and his grandchildren-Roop and Sanjay Johal. These losses have been devastating for the Johal family. We pray for the departed souls and for strength to the Johal family to bear this unbearable loss. After the Bhog of the Sehaj Paath, the Gurdwara’s keertani Jatha played/sang hymns from Shri Guru Granth Sahib ji and prayed for the departed souls. On behalf of the Gurdwara management committee, Secretary Balwant Singh Sanghera welcomed the attendees and paid tribute to Asa Singh Johal.
