Mohan Mathur Memorial Fund for Education
Donation protected
Education was close to Dad's heart.
He pioneered many programs at all levels and felt it was always a privilege and the most effective way to positively impact the world. As a young man, he was accepted to the prestigious IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) to study Engineering in Kharagpur. Through his four years there, he could not afford to buy a single textbook. He studied by borrowing and working long hours in the library to get through. He understood the importance of having opportunity and how it can impact an individual's life with the empowering effect for future generations.
In lieu of flowers or any gifts, if you are so inclined, please make a donation of any amount (we set a goal of $1 to be able to activate this page) and all funds will go to CWEF Canadian World Education Foundation (Registered Canadian Charity : HST #86753 5544 RR0001). A tax receipt will be sent to you shortly.
CWEF provides provides financial assistance for the education of poor impoverished children left helpless due to circumstances beyond their control in Canada, India, and Kenya. One hundred percent of proceeds go towards the education of students.
Assistance To Widows (ATW) is the largest program which in 2018-19, supported 1,153 mothers (76 are college students) for 1,389 students (80 in colleges) in 11 states of India
This was Dad's charity of choice - he was passionate about changing lives through volunteering his time, donating and recently through guidance as Chair of the London Chapter.
We sincerely thank you for your wishes and support.
Respectfully,
Shikha and Tinu (his children), Maneesh (his son-in-law)
Jai, Akash and Ashna (his grandchildren)
and the love of his life Aruna (his best friend and wife)
Official Obituary
Radhey ‘Mohan' Mathur (1936 – 2020) passed away peacefully in British Columbia, Canada on February 6th, 2020. He was surrounded by his loving family. He lived a life full of passion with purpose, respect, integrity, excellence, enthusiasm and benevolence that serve as an inspiration to all the lives he touched. Mathur recently was invested into the Order of Canada as an academic and a catalyst of change locally, nationally and across the globe. This culminated his storied career as Dean of Engineering, University of Western Ontario, Chair of London Hydro, Founder and CEO of UNENE (University Network of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering). He was a pioneer and visionary leader among many community organizations he served with or started since arriving to Canada in 1969. A strong believer in education, he transformed many University programs through curriculum, delivery and amalgamation of multi disciplines. Above all he was a family man and humanitarian that advocated equality through action. He connected with all generations and served as an inspiration to everyone.
He may be gone, but never forgotten.
He is succeeded by the love of his life, wife of 54 years Aruna, son Tinu, daughter Shikha, son-in-Law Maneesh, grandsons Jai, Akash and granddaughter Ashna.
