We have had the pleasure of being a close friend and colleague of Sivananthan since 1996 having initially met at West London Tamil School. His devotional bond with the community affairs made us to travel through together until the end of his life. Countless fond memories with him will be cherished. He was a proud father of Siyamini and Subon and was very proud of their academic achievements. He was a humble human being who devoted many years of his valuable skills and expertise into growing and developing the charity, Oriental Fine Arts Academy of London.
