Buncy Sangha passed away peacefully in his 84th year on Tuesday, June 18, 2019, surrounded by the love of his family.

Buncy was born in Victoria, BC on January 17, 1935. He attended Victoria College and UBC to study business. He began his career working for his family business at the young age of 13 as a driver delivering firewood. Over time, the company began paving, and Buncy worked with his father and brothers, and eventually became the president of OK Industries. With the help of his brothers, he built the company from a small office on Topaz Avenue in Victoria, BC to a large corporation with head office in Central Saanich from where he oversaw a business that covered Vancouver Island and beyond. Buncy dedicated his life to his work, building the business in order to provide for his family. He was generous with his children and grandchildren as well as supporting his siblings and extended family. Through the Buncy and Harvant Charitable Foundation, they supported various organizations throughout Vancouver Island over the years. He was an incredible businessman, and had a passion for the road building industry, and made an impact on all those with whom he worked with. He paved his way to success.

May I express my heartfelt condolences to Harvant and the Sangha family as they grieve the loss of Buncy, a fine gentleman. I have many fond memories of our happy family days on Falmouth Road many years ago
My deepest condolences to Buncy’s family and friends. I hope I am not telling tales out of school but I attended Victoria High school with Buncy and on occasion he would “borrow” his Father’s wood delivery dump truck and park it just outside Royal Athletic Park and raise the dump portion so that his friends, (including myself) could sit up on the raised portion and watch our favorite ball team “The Victoria Athletics” play ball. This was much appreciated by the teen watchers. I lost track of Buncy as I moved away with the services to Nova Scotia. Very sorry that I never made contact again to relate old memories. Many thanks for the wonderful memories Buncy.
Harvant: So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
