Biman Mukherjee

Biman Behari Mukherjee died August 21, 2023 at the age of 85. Biman was the beloved husband of Chhabi; loving father of Soma (Ashok Ghose Dastidar) Mukherjee; proud grandfather of Anand Ghose Dastidar; dear brother of 10 siblings who preceded him in death.



Biman graduated from Jaduvpur University in 1959 and had a long working life as a mechanical engineer.  He loved great conversation, playing cards (especially bridge), and listening to music.

He was a pioneer in establishing the Bengali community in Chicago.



Biman, along with his wife Chhabi, arrived in Chicago during 1971 and immediately became an integral part of the little community which was just forming and eventually became today’s great BAGC (Bengali Association of Greater Chicago). He was one of the founding members.



Biman was a tireless advocate of BAGC causes and always tried to improve the lives of his fellow friends and associates.  He was a kind and generous man who always put others before himself.



His contribution to our community will never be forgotten.



Visitation Thursday August 24, 11:00am until time of cremation 1:00pm at Countryside Funeral Home and Crematory 950 South Bartlett Road (at Stearns Road) Bartlett.
