Dear Philip,
Over the weekend we heard the sad news that our dear friend Murgananthan passed away in early June after a short illness. He was fit & well & had a routine blood screen in April when he was diagnosed with Acute Leukaemia. Was treated in London & died on 7th June. I have spoken to his daughter Niro today & they are having an almsgiving in Ealing London on Sunday 8th July. Sidney & I will be attending.
I will forward all contact details later today as I was unable to speak to Muru's wife Thiraviam.
Niro was happy for the batch to be notified. We are sad we didn't hear of it earlier so that we could have attended his funeral to pay our respect.
Kind Regards
Pearl

Dr.MAC Perera - Obituary

to me

Hi Philip


It is with sadness that we report the death of another of our batchmates- Dr M.A.C Perera. He was  rather quite but a very sincere and a friendly colleague. He was at Kithyakara Medical Student Hostel and after graduation, migrated to UK where he was a very successful GP in Wembley.

 As I recollect, he returned to Sri Lanka around 2003.

In case you have not seen his obituary notice ( which appear in Daily News 9th June 2012), I attach a copy for information.

May he rest in peace.

Nana
