Dear Philip/Mana
Just to let you know that K.P. Gunasekera - one of our popular batch mates died peacefully in Panadura, at the residence of his son Dr Susrutha Gunasekera ( consultant paediatrician) in the early hours of this morning(29th June).
Funeral services are planned for 30th Tuesday at Panadura crematorium.
As many of you remember, K.P. was a very popular and a very loyal, sociable and helpful colleague. He was a G.P. practising at Mt. Lavinia. His wife died a couple of years earlier.
He will be missed by his surviving family ( 2 sons Chanaka & Susrutha & their families) and large number of his relatives, friends and patients.
We can only share our sincere thoughts and offer our deepest sympathies to his surviving family.
May he attain the supreme bliss of nibhana 
PS;   Hi Philip/ Mana;  Please share with our batch mates.
Regards
Nana.
Dr. C.S.Nanayakkara

Hello Nihal and Philip

I managed to track down  K P ' s  son  charaka.

He is paediatrician   Balapitiya.

His contact number is

+94718319200.

I have his permission to give this number  to any of our batchmates.

Kind regards.

K.P. was my body partner in the second M.B. He was easy to get along with - humble, friendly; he had an “easy-go” attitude towards life. He had a wonderful smile which was infectious. His affable personality won him the post of MSU secretary. In fact, he may have been more interested in the MSU post than his studies as he was not in the dissection room often. Frequently the hour prior to the “Sig” we went over the assigned dissections and he did well.
Many years ago while driving through Mt Lavinia, I happened to see his dispensary and dropped in. He was so welcoming; we had a long chat about life abroad and then moved to talking about Russia as his son was about to enter a Russian Medical School. I next met KP at our batch first reunion in Habarana and thereafter lost contact with him. I really regret not staying in touch with him after we had reestablished our friendship. I wish him a pleasant samsaric journey and may he attain ultimate bliss - Nibbana.
