A dedication to our late grandparents, Sohan Singh Kalkat and Amar Kaur Kalkat. May their lives always be remembered. Born on August 10, 1919, Sohan Singh Kalkat was raised in the village of Kalkat in the Hoshiarpur district in Punjab. Born on February 3, 1921, his wife-to-be Amar Kaur Kalkat was raised in the Five Chak Lahore in West Punjab. In 1947, after Punjab was separated by the Partition of India and Pakistan, Kaur migrated east to the village of Talghar in the Hoshiarpur district. Decades later, Sohan Singh migrated to Live Oak, California in May of 1970. Amar Kaur joined him in May of 1971. Sohan and Amar played an important role in the Punjabi Sikh community in the Live Oak area; they were founding members of the Gurdwara Sahib Gridley Live Oak. Sohan and Amar were very well respected and their presence is missed by the entire community. Sohan Singh and Amar Kaur have one daughter, Surjit Kaur Dhami and two sons, Surinder and Amrik Singh Kalkat, living in Live Oak and Gridley, California respectively. They have ten grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren. We owe a lot to our grandparents and were truly blessed to have them in our lives. They had the warmth of our parents; the wisdom of the sages; and the hearts of gold.
