He was a long lost cousin of mine as he was not only many years younger which was compounded by our displacement in two different directions from the motherland - Yet when ever I met him he proved to be a man who cherished our bond by blood, warm and kind he always reminded the great qualities I saw in his father, my maternal uncle, displaying nothing but love and affection. His untimely departure comes as a deep shock and it is a very sorrowful day indeed. May he attains moksha as we pray for his soul to rest in peace! Our heartfelt condolences to Ruby , Children and the siblings. Om Shanthy Ariyanayagam family UK
