Dear Vasanthakumar family members, Please accept my (Rajah aka Velu Rasiah) heartfelt condolences. I knew him since he was small boy at Uduppiddy American Mission College (UAMC) where his father was my class teacher, who taught me English for 3 years. This acquaintance continued in Canada where he was president of UAMC old boys association for more than 25 years. During this period he contributed substantially towards the rehabilitation of the college buildings during/after the war. I am short of words to describe his efforts to betterment of UAMC. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. Velu Rasiah.
