Captain Subhash Chander Nanda November 4, 1938 - March 4, 2021 With deep sadness, our beloved father, grandfather, and husband Subhash Chander Nanda passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside after surgery for a brain hemorrhage in the hospital in La Jolla, CA on March 4, 2021. He was dearly loved by his two daughters Simret and Maya, son-in law Purvin, two grandsons Tejh and Milin, wife, family and friends. He was born on November 4,1938 in Lahore and grew up in Delhi, India. He was a decorated ship captain in the Indian merchant marines for 20 years. Subhash completed his masters at NYIT in computer science and worked in IT at Sealand for 10 years. He moved to Charlotte in 1996 and enjoyed the south and his work in IT with Vanguard. Subhash loved his family, the ocean, music. He had a zest for life and his smile would brighten up the room. His family will be having a private cremation on Friday March 12th in San Diego, CA where he had settled down in the final years of his life. He was very proud both of his daughters are physicians, Dr. Simret Nanda and Dr. Maya Nanda-Lapsiwala, and loved them dearly. He also loved to play games with his two grandsons, Tejh and Milin Lapsiwala; he taught them chess, carrom, Chinese checkers and gifted them countless hours of play and love. He was passionate about giving to those less fortunate and donated regularly to Nai Disha, a non-profit school in India for low income children as well as regularly donated to Doctors without Borders. His humor, bravery under life’s many pressures, giving and caring nature will be greatly missed by his family and friends. His words of wisdom often came from a sweet, simple saying but imparted great advice. In his later years he reflected a lot on the meaning of life and spoke of Buddha’s teachings; “In this world, hate never dispelled hate. Only love dispels hate. This is the law, ancient and inexhaustible.”
