Soon after his birth, the name Gureela was suggested by the family’s best friend, Naranjan Singh Noor (a Punjabi poet and himself a fighter against injustice and racism).
Gureela, named after the Viet Kong Guerrilla’s – freedom fighters in Vietnam.
So Gilly/ Gureela was born a freedom fighter.
Mahatma Ghandi said:
You must be the change you want to see in the world.We are proud to know that Gilly was actively working for change - fighting for victims of injustice and following in dad’s footsteps in serving the community.
Even after his passing he has given the hope of a better life to others through organ donation. May god bless them all with a bright future.
On behalf of our family I would like to thank all Gilly’s colleagues at INQUEST, the doctors and nurses at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead – Thank you to all of you that will have joined with us to remember and celebrate Gilly, and also helped to comfort Dad, Debbie and our family for the last 12 days.
Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.
Gilly has not gone - he is with us now and always will be, in our hearts and minds
Jeenda reh Gilly !

Jas,
Your words say it all.
He was a Freedom Fighter;he fought injustice;he stood up for the underdog; he brought comfort to those in their hour of need; he lived and breathed his principles (and even in death).
You are so correct when you say "Jeendah Ray Gilly", "Shaheed Jeenday Rehnday Ahh" , Shaheeds Live forever, and it is up to up as his friends and relatives to keep his memory going.
Love
Vic Singh
