Our beloved father and grandfather, passed away peacefully on April 7th, 2020 He was born on August 24th, 1935 in Ba, Fiji to Harnam Singh Birak and Udham Kaur Birak. He was the oldest of eight children: Simar Kaur, Swaran Kaur, Savinder Kaur, Kuldeep Kaur, Bhagat Singh, Balbir Singh & Harjit Singh. Taru is survived by his wife, Harbans K. Birak. He is preceded in the passing of his Eldest Son Kamal Singh Birak. He leaves behind three children, Preet Kaur Maan, Sunil Kaur Evans, and Ranjit Singh Birak; seven grandchildren, Christopher, Preeya, Aneel, Arjan, Amrit, Nishawn and Ruman. His grandchildren were his lifeline, his pride and joy, and he cherished every moment he spent with them. He came to America in 1956, and established himself. Shortly after he settled in Daly City, California he was instrumental in immigrating, supporting many family and friends and enabled them to live the American Dream. From a very young age Taru had a passion for automobiles. Winter rain or summer heat didn't stop him from donning his coveralls and puttering around with equipment in his shop. Those who interacted with him will remember him immensely for his generosity, humble nature, and his sincere honesty. These exceptional traits were fostered in him by his parents.
