Sep 04, 2013

(September 18, 1930 - August 21, 2013)

It is with heavy hearts that the Kaillon family announce the passing away of Mr. Bhagwant Singh Kaillon on 21st August 2013. At the age of 82 he spent his final days at Perth & Smith Falls District Hospital in Perth surrounded by family at his bedside offering their prayers and love in abundance. Bhagwant S. Kaillon lived a very full and happy life.  Born in India he worked hard to become a Principal of a school. In the 1960's he emigrated to England. Passionate about the role of good education for children he became a teacher and rose to the level of Principal of a boy's school in London. In the early 1990's Mr. Kaillon took early retirement and moved to Sharbot Lake where he lived with his wife, sons and family ever since.  Over this period he published many short stories and poems in different languages, including Punjabi, Hindi, English, Urdu and Pashto.  He built a Gurdwara (Holy Sikh Temple) in his birthplace Dugri, India. Bhagwant also spent his post retirement days painting, drawing and travelling frequently to England, India and the U.S.A to visit family and friends.  He will always be remembered for his sense of humour, kind and caring nature, wisdom and resilience. Beloved husband of Daljit Kaur Kaillon; loving father of Sagar (Kamaljit) Poonia, Jass (Sukhi) Kaillon, Ram (Rimpy) Kaillon, Pawan (Harjit) Lall;  much loved and missed by grandchildren Satnam (Ranjeev), Simrit, Jagdeep, Amrit (Sundeep), Gian (Rishi), Mehar, Nishan, Karan and also great granchild Thara - Mr. Kaillon will be sorely missed by family and friends in Sharbot Lake and around the World.  The Kaillon family wish to thank the local community, staff, friends and family from near and far for all their prayers, condolescences and support during this difficult time. We also would like to acknowledge the doctors and staff of Perth & Smith Falls District Hospital for their excellent care and compassion towards Mr. Kaillon and to all the family during Mr. Kaillon's time in hospital.
