                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 28, 2021

  Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Mr. S. 
Charanjit Singh, who passed away on May 12, 2021. He was a successful 
family and business man and member of the Central Valley with his 
children and wife.
  Mr. Singh was born in India in 1950 and came to the United States in 
1988 from Ludhiana, Punjab. He and his family settled in Los Angeles, 
California managing multiple convenience stores. He was a hard worker 
and provided for his two sons, daughter, and his wife. In 2003, Mr. 
Singh decided to move his family to Fresno, California.
  Living in the Central Valley, Mr. Singh flourished his businesses. He 
was a business owner of purchased and newly built stores. Mr. Singh had 
over 30 gas stations and liquor stores. He could prioritize his time, 
manage multiple stores, and have time for his family. Mr. Singh would 
attend many events in the Central Valley including many of my own and 
he would often share his wisdom about the Sikh community to me.
  Mr. Singh is survived by his beloved wife, Darshan Kaur; two sons 
Navjeet Chahal and Baljit Singh Chahal; daughter Parampreet Kaur, and 
his six grandchildren. Mr. Singh will be missed by the community and 
his friends.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in celebrating the life of Mr. S. Charanjit 
Singh. I join his family, friends, and the community in celebrating his 
great life.
