POKAN, Pooran "Ken"   -

1938 - 2023

Pooran Pokan was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend.

 

He left this world on December 1, 2023, at age 85, in Whitby, Ontario.

Pooran is survived by his wife of 60 years, Deokie (Mahesh); three children: Pamela (Aleem Ghanny), Victor (Andrea Gallant), and Gavin (Pam Chow); four grandchildren: Talisa, Jared, Ava and Kai.

 

He is survived by one sister, Boodeah (Mudas); and predeceased by his sisters, Rajwanti (Baby), Mahadai (Baab), and Bipti (Moon); and brothers, Harry and Sonny.

 

Pooran was born on August 28, 1938 in West Demerara, Guyana and had fond memories of spending his childhood on the family farm.

 

He studied to become a pharmacist and worked at St. Joseph's Mercey Hospital in Georgetown, Guyana, remaining in the medical field for over 10 years.

 

On January 1, 1976, Pooran and his family immigrated to Toronto, Canada, where he shifted careers by studying accounting and worked in the Treasury Department at INCO in the heart of the financial district for over 40 years. In 2003, Pooran retired and continued his passion for reading, gardening, bowling and cherishing the time with his grandchildren.

 

Post-retirement, Pooran and his wife travelled the world and explored India, China, Portugal, Morocco, Switzerland, Italy, and France, just to mention a few.

 

Visitation and Funeral will be held on December 7/8th, at the Ajax Crematorium & Visitation Centre.
