Apart of being related he was a dear friend and a colleague to our father. He was more of a father figure to us and we fondly addressed him as Selvaratnam Mama. He always visited us when ever he came to Sri Lanka. The last time I met him was during my visit to Canada in 2018 and he was extremely overjoyed. His loss is irreplaceable and our thoughts will always be with his grieving family. Mama you will be loved and remembered always.
