Dr Yash Pal Suri, 89, died peacefully at home on May 10 surrounded by his family. Dr Suri was born in Pindigheb, India and then moved to Darlington. He married Sushil and had three children, Neeraj, Vanita and Sandhya, and three grandchildren, Hari, Serena and Leela. As a young immigrant doctor, Dr Suri recorded his new life in reels of home movies and audio tapes. His daughter Sandhya said: “His boundless curiosity, creativity, sense of humour and tireless documenting remained until the very last. He will be remembered as an esteemed physician, creative artist, film maker and chronicler. Experiencing Partition, then later migration to England, he was no stranger to struggle and upheaval. In the UK he became a consultant physician and dedicated himself to the care of the elderly at Darlington Memorial Hospital for over 20 years, establishing the town s first Dial-a-Ride service in 1989.
