Excellent gentleman who stood tall in every aspect of life. Helpful to anyone asking and in most difficult times did his duty courageously! without worry about Being a Tamil and handicapped in helping people under extreme threat. He was able to this because of his true sense of duty bravery. He was a great friend and loving father husband. He had abiding interests in life such as Ayurvedic medicines, sports and a balanced I’ve style. Our contact was less after we migrated but still every time we came to SL we met him and had a good time together. He must have inherited his parents robust traits - I always admired his character. He had his measure of loss in life - his beloved wife and about a year ago he lost his loving son. But he steadfastly faced them most humanely. Proud that he hailed from my small village Veemankamam and by his own efforts he was able to establish a life with meaning and he had given the best as a father to his children. Our deepest condolences to the bereaved family. We will miss his warmth in a Colombo which is losing its value of friendliness. ஊன டைந்த உடம்பின் பிறவியே தான டைந்த உறுதியைச் சாருமால் தேன டைந்த மலர்ப்பொழில் தில்லையுள் மாந டம்செய் வரதர்பொற் றாள்தொழ .
