In 1997, he retired and came to the United States with his wife to live with the rest of his family. He has lived in New York, Sacramento, and Orange. He enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He looked forward to going to the Santa Ana gurudwara every Sunday and mingling with his friends.
