It is with huge sadness that the family of Dineshchandra Mahijibhai Panchal announce his peaceful passing, aged 81. He will be lovingly remembered.

Born in Masaka in 1939, subsequently moving to Kampala in 1960 and finally settling in London in 1970. Dineshbhai was a true pioneer, fearless business man, aspiring industrialist, and an excellent networker - who got to see the world, from Paris to Japan!

He will be truly remembered for building a bridge and providing a home for all Panchal’s and Luhar’s amongst other families to settle here.In his latter years, Dinesh - turned his interests to bhajans and prayers. As an avid singer, he would love singing at local bhajans, hosting them with his very own band, and entertaining others, with over one thousand subscribers to his YouTube channel!

He left fond memories and lessons by which everyone grew, including himself. He will be a great loss to all that loved him and the wider community.

We are grateful for his presence and wish his soul a safe journey home in peace, Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti 🕉
