Viji and I were completely taken aback when our son called to tell us about Tissa.  Oddly, I was sending him an email about Palitha Kohona being recalled when my son called.  C'est la vie!  The good die young
I was extremely fond of Tissa from the time he came to do his Residency at Hairmyres Hospital in East Kilbride.  I still recall his trying to help Sujaee Athulathmudali get a Residency (she turned it down) at Hairmyres
I pushed Tissa to do his MRCP telling him that he was too bright to do it at the pace of the "normal" guy and I still recall meeting Mary in London, probably before any of Tissa's relatives or friends
May the Blessings of the Triple Gem be with him
I am too upset to say anything more
