In Loving Memory It is with deep sadness that I pay tribute to a dear university friend—a true gem of a human being whose presence brought light to so many lives. He was not only an exceptional friend but also a kind-hearted soul who dedicated himself to helping others, both here and back home. His quiet generosity and commitment to charity work often went unnoticed, as he never sought praise—only the joy of making a difference. He was also a gifted sportsman—one of the best cricket players I had the privilege to know. His passion, discipline, and spirit on the field inspired everyone around him. Whether in sports or in life, he always gave his best. We have lost someone irreplaceable—someone whose life was a blessing, whose memory is a treasure, and whose absence is deeply felt. May his soul rest in eternal peace. You will never be forgotten. With heartfelt condolences, Gowry Sam ( 1985/86 Science Faculty , University of Jaffna)
