The name of Srimal Christopher Abeyewardene will be embedded in the hearts and minds of Lankan population in Canada and that of the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, in particular, as a deeply fair-minded Ceylonese, especially during the darker days of Sri Lanka. Hopefully, it is coming out of its tunnel of darkness. ... Learned and pleasant Srimal has been instrumental in keeping the link between the Sinhalese and Tamil expatriates through his medium, The Sri Lankan Reporter. He sincerely had a life well lived and his loss is indeed irreplaceable easily, though he had naturted a lot to rise up to carry his passion. Heartfelt condolence to his dear wife and family. May Srimal rest in eternal peace.
