Kulwant Singh Gadri

In Loving Memory of Kulwant Singh Gadri October 4, 1950 - January 28, 2025 A Legacy of Resilience and Love Kulwant Singh Gadri, a man of profound strength, humility, and devotion, passed away on January 28, 2025. Born on October 4, 1950, in Punjab, India, Kulwant was the youngest of ten children born to Sardar Ragha Singh Gadri and Sardarni Amar Kaur Gadri. As the youngest sibling, he grew up surrounded by the affection of a large family-a warmth he would later mirror in the home he built for his own children. Building a Life from the Ground Up In 1980, Kulwant married and embarked on a journey to the United States in 1981. He began his American life in Yuba City, California, before settling in the Bay Area. His story was the embodiment of the "American Dream" achieved through sheer will. In the early days, Kulwant worked long hours in factories, earning only a few dollars an hour to provide for his loved ones. He was never afraid of hard work; instead, he used it as a stepping stone. He pursued his education at Foothill College, which paved the way for a career he took great pride in at Sun Microsystems. By the 1990s, his perseverance allowed him to invest in his own farms, a testament to his connection to the land and his desire to build a lasting foundation for his family. A Pillar of Strength Kulwant was, above all, a family man. He was the "best" in every role he inhabited: son, father, brother, and uncle. His life was defined by the sacrifices he made to ensure his family never wanted for anything. Though he carried the heavy sorrow of losing his nine-year-old daughter in 1993, he remained a steady anchor for those who survived her. He is survived by his children, Damanjot Gadri and Jaiwant Gadri, and his cherished grandson, Harveer Singh Pooni, who brought immense joy to his life. Final Farewell Kulwant Singh Gadri will be remembered as a man of few complaints and immense action. He provided, he protected, and he loved without limit. "He worked hard his whole life, not for himself, but for the generations that followed." Service Of Remembrance services will be held 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Sunday, February 8th, 2026 at Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel, 127 E. Caldwell Ave., Visalia. Services have been entrusted to Salser & Dillard Funeral Chapel. Memorial Tributes and condolences may be offered by logging onto www.salseranddillard.com.
