Rashid was much loved by all, young and old. A kind and gentle man with an extremely gregarious personality that would bring cheer to every situation. He was a dedicated father who showered love on all his children and gave them the best possible start to their lives. He was committed to helping the aged and infirm and spent the last years of his life in community care bringing hope to those less fortunate than he.

Thanks to his incredible memory and his passion for photography, many facts of his life have been captured to benefit & younger generations. Abdul Rashid Minhas, son of Meher Ellahi Minhas, was born on the 15th January 1927 in the district of Rangpura, Sialkot, West Punjab, India (now in Pakistan).
