We have lost a brilliant Structural Engineer (who got 4 A's in his A/L's, 1st Class Honours from his B.Sc Civil Engineering from Peradeniya - Sri Lanka University and 1st Class Honours in his Master's Degree in Structural Engineering from the Asian Institute of Technology) who contributed several complex and innovative bridge designs in Australian and around the Globe. His passing is not only an irreparable loss to his family but also to the wider community he served with such dedication. Please accept our heartfelt condolences. May God grant the family strength during this unbearable and difficult time, and may his memory remain lasting blessing that brings comfort and peace.
