It is with heavy heart that I pay tribute to late Mr. S. Sittampalam, whom, we used to address as SITTA. Sitta was a man who truly lived life to the fullest. I was fortunate enough to get to know Sitta well through his lifelong friendship with late Mr. Pathmanathan, whom we used to address as Paddy, who lived in South Africa with his family, when we lived there. Over the years, observing the deep bond they shared, taught me a great deal about loyalty, friendship and resilience. Sitta had a wealth of wisdom and a way of making every one around him feel valued. Sitta's legacy will live on, not just in his accomplishments but in the countless lives he touched and the selfless contributions made to the community at large. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May Sitta's eternal Soul Rest in Peace.
