I was born in Nairobi and educated at City Primary, Racecourse Secondary and Eastleigh Secondary schools. I was a good mimic, and I entertained the class at the expense of many teachers! I played volleyball and was in the school's Dramatic Society.

I trained as a teacher and taught at Nairobi South and Thika. I migrated to England and joined my family's catering business in Chelsea. We started to expand and eventually developed a chain of 5 restaurants. I then settled in Bristol and retired at 59, after the marriages of my 3 children. In my retirement I do voluntary work and organise local trips for the community to different towns as well as overseas.

I am married to Rama, who was also a teacher in Thika. My eldest daughter Rima is married with 2 daughters who are 17 and 15 years old. My other daughter Sona is now a qualified Yoga teacher, and has a son. My son Sumit works as a manager for European countries for IBM, and has 2 young daughters.

We are now grandparents and thoroughly enjoying our lives with our family and friends, and hope to travel all over the world!

We are deeply saddened to say Sukh Dev Sharma passed away on 6th August 2017.
