Shri Gopal was one of his kind.  He new the whole Ottawa Indian community and was always helpful.  His caring and helping nature with a smile always encouraged people to accomplish what they wanted.  He may not be present with us physically, but his legacy will remain forever.  He was a fine actor who played many roles successfully in life. Our thoughts and prayers  are with the Gopal family.

To my dearest Ameena,and her daughters my deepest condolences to your family. Gone but will not be forgotten what an amazing man. From God we came and to him we shall return.

We are shocked to hear the news of uncle's sudden demise. Billu uncle was the reason why I am here in Canada. It was his encouragement and support that helped me take that step. He was a very helpful and sincere person, who would go out of his way for his friends, family and the community. His passing is a big loss to the community.

Dear Gopal family, 
I am so very sad to hear of Shri's passing.  I had the great pleasure of seeing Shri's smiling face at work for over 20 years.  May sweet memories bring you comfort during this very sad time.  My heart and prayers go out to each of you.

My deepest condolences to the Gopal family. I got to know Shri at the new city and like many others have stated, he always had a cheerful demeanour that was infectious. Thanks Shri, for spreading joy with your effervescent personality and dedication to the Indo-Canadian community. You will truly be missed.

Dear Amina, Sabrina and Saleena,

The entire Indian community is mourning the loss of a gem from amidst us all. Shri was always there in any social event, serving and supporting everyone with a smile. May God bless him with eternal peace! May you all overcome the huge gap in your family by rejoicing all the goodness he embodied!!

Peace! Peace!! Peace!!!

Dear Gopal family,

Having known Shri for more then twenty years, I was always amazed by his energy, positive attitude and dedication to his family and friends. He will truly be missed by all.

Bilu uncle,

Whenever mom and dad said that we were going to your house for dinner, they didn't have to ask if I was going. It always felt like home since throughout my life you treated me like one of your own daughters. Ottawa won't be the same without you.

To the Gopal Family

Shri was a very friendly and interesting person. He was one of my staff when I first joined the RMOC in 1988 and was a great help to me in those first few years.

I hope that the fact that Shri has so many friends that are saddened by his death is of some consolation to you.


Roman Diduch

Uncle accomplished more in a week than some would in a year.   Thanks from the bottom of our hearts Uncle for your encouragement and business guidance in our early years.   Gopal family, may God grant you peace and beautiful life-long inspiration from Shri Gopalji.

Dear Amena,
We are shocked to learn the sudden demise of dear Shri Gopal whose helpful attitude and smiling face will be remembered forever.   Please accept my sincere condolences.  May God give you and the entire family courage to endure this loss.

My wife Meena joins me in offering our heart-felt condolences to each of you.  I found Shri as a very sincere, helpful and cheerful person all the time.

May God grant peace to his soul and strength to all of you to bear the loss.

What a shock it was for me to see this in the paper. We met briefly a few months ago and he commented how he was enjoying retirement.I worked with Shri occasionally during our careers at RMOC. I wanted his family to know that he was the most pleasant man I have ever met. My condoleces to his family.

Dear Mena, Selena and Sabrina and family. My deepest sympathies. I am very sorry  for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May we all be reminded how precious life is and to cherish the time we spend with one another.

After working with Shri for the last 28 years and seeing him in our office last Thursday, I am completely stunned. Shri was a great man, always on the go and will certainly be missed. My sincere sympathy to Shri's family and extended family of close friends and colleagues.

Dearest Sabrina and family,

I am so very sorry for your great loss. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
You are in my prayers and thoughts.

My sincere condolences to Selena and the Gopal family.

Just the sound of his voice in this office made everyone smile. Thank You Shri

We will miss Shri ji's smile and active help in any of our Community events. May god give strength to his near and dear ones. My deepest condolences to his family.

My deepest sympathies to Meena Aunty, Chetan Uncle, Sabrina, Selena, and the extended family.  Uncle was a true pillar in our community - I grew up watching him work hard at leading and organizing countless events and helping anyone he could. His caring nature and work ethic  made a tremendous impression on me. He always had a smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye and his energy seemed endless, especially when it came to helping others.  Even when us kids would organize an event, Uncle would ask "how can i help?" and he was always so supportive and encouraging.  He was loved by so many and left us too soon. He will be missed very, very much.  Lots of love to you all.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Shree Gopal. My heartfelt condolences to Meena , kids and the entire family. May it comfort you to know that there are many who love and respect Shree and share with you the sorrow of this tragic and untimely loss. May his soul rest in peace in the everlasting garden of the hereafter. Respect and prayers.

I am absolutely shocked and saddened by Gopal uncle's unexpected passing. I had an opportunity to volunteer with him at the ICA for a year. He was a very pleasant person to deal with. During community events, he would make it a point to go and say hello to everyone he knew and introduce himself to new faces. His passing is a sad news for the whole Indian community. My sincere condolences to Aunty, Sabrina and Selena. We will all miss Gopal uncle.

Shri Gopal Uncle was a dear friend of the family. He was a pillar of the Indo-Canadian community in Ottawa, was a great example to all and always had a smile on his face. He will be sorely missed, but may his smile always shine down on us. Meena Aunty, Sabrina and Selena - my sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies on this heartbreaking loss. Sending you lots of love, Reema

Dear Aunty, Sabrina, Selena and family - I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult and trying time.  Shri uncle will be greatly missed.  I will always cherish his genuine smile, his helpfulness, his care and concern for everyone.  He was such a pillar of the community and has been a part of our lives since as far back as I can remember.  May God bless his soul and give you the strength to cope with your loss.  Love, Nidhi

Our deepest condolences to the Shri Gopal family. We will miss our dear friend. May God bless his soul.

Narender and Amita Verma

Extremely sad to hear of Shri's sudden passing.  I worked with Shri for many years at the Region, and saw him from time to time at the new City. He was one of the most cheerful and helpful persons I have ever met. Ottawa is a poorer place due to this event.

Chère Sabrina, please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. May the memories of love and good times shared with your dad brighten up your days when the sorrow will be over.  Mes pensées vous accompagnent.

How can I adequately express what an impression Shri Gopal Uncle made on me as a child? I don't think I can…
Probably like anyone who knew him, I remember him always smiling, always willing, always doing.  Shri Gopal Uncle set the example of community and support. Just by being who he was he will have shaped so many of us 'kids', to work hard, to give back and to understand what 'service' really is. I am so sorry that he has passed.
To Auntie, Sabrina and Selena, I am so sorry for your loss. 
Love, shivalee

Dear Amena, Sabrina and Selena,
Luisa and I are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Shri.  Having worked with him at the Region for over 30 years, we spent many pleasant hours together off and on the job.  He was a great friend who I will always remember for his generosity and hard work.  Our thoughts are with you on this time of sorrow.
Luisa and Joe Vincelli

I was very sad to hear the news. Shri was a kind and wonderful man.

Sabrina, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times.

“To Shri Gopal's family, I was heartbroken to hear the news, and I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will miss his smile, enthusiasm and encouragement”.
     Dipankar Chakravarty

Sree was the first person the Narula family met when we arrived in Ottawa 40 years ago. Perhaps the most helpful individual we met who helped us understand our new surroundings. Loving, caring and extremely sincere in all his dealings, business or personal. Our relationship will last forever.  May God bless his soul and give his family the strength to cope with their loss.

Words cannot describe our sorrow and grief on the sudden passing away of my dear friend, a dedicated community worker and Ex-President of India-Canada Association (ICA), National Capital Region (NCR).

I will surely miss his friendship, his community's ever ready help and support always.

May God Almighty bless his soul and may he rest in peace,

Daljit,Kamal, Sonya & Simrin.
PN: He loved my dogs Roxie and Cocoa and always asked how they were doing.

Shri went fomr being a colleague to a friend within a short time of knowing him. I missed working with him when he left the engineering approval group- Region and later city. Every time we would meet up in the halls to talk his smile made my day better. His love for and pride in his family was not surpassed by any other accomplishments. He truly represented for me an example of a wonderful father and husband. My deepest sympathy for you loss.

A very tragic news - Ottawa has lost a great community leader. You will be greatly missed Shri Gopal ji.
