    Sad demise of Lt Col Komal Singh
    Dear Brig Kamboj,
    Sadly, another Signal officer Lt Col Komal Singh has gone. He had been suffering from for a while and was admitted in Fortis Mohali. He breathed his last at 2031h on 04 Feb 2010. The cremation was done in Chandigarh the next day.
    Commissioned on 03 Jan’64 In the Corp of Signals, Komal is survived by his wife Mrs Bala and two sons, both in the Army. Knowing Komal intimately for over forty years, I would say that he was a great human being with a golden heart. He was a disciplined, honest and forthright officer who loved army life. He had very endearing nature and was genuinely interested in human bonding. He led a simple lifestyle. He was blessed with a sterling memory for names, faces and figures. I would always envy him and admire him for this wonderful quality and would often plead for tips. In his departure, I have lost a great personal friend, philosopher and guide. And a Jigri dost.
    The bhog ceremony will be held in Sector 8 Gurudwara Chandigarh, on 11 Feb 10, from 1200h to 1300h.
    In mourning,
    Col Narendar S Ahuja (Retd)

    Departure of Col Komal Singh, proud father of two young army officers, at a comparatively young age, is a great loss to all veterans, particularly Signallers. MAY THE DEPARTED SOUL REST IN PEACE.
    May GOD GIVE COURAGE and strength to his wife and children to bear the loss and continue to cherish with pride the values he stood for.
    Brig G Natarajan, Signals
