Dear batchmates
It is with regret that we would like to share the sad news of the death of one of our batchmates- Dr Thilaka Vithana who died on the 18th Sept at Alderney Hospital in Poole, Dorset, UK after a brief illness.
He entered Colombo University ( 3 months Organic course) in 1959 and after graduation did his interneship at Anuradhapura.
He entered private practice in Amparai for few years and came over to UK and specialised in psychiatry and became an associate specialist in Poole till his retirement from NHS.
He was a very popular and a very sincere friend and colleague. In the last few years he suffered a stroke which made him incapacitated physically.
Many of his batch mates would recognise him as 'Idi Amin' replica !!
He leaves behind his wife Grace and his children Channa and Susan.
May he attain the eternal bliss of NIrvana

PS.
I remember him as a tall lean person with a very high sense of humour. I would not like to repeat many of the escapades he related to us, putting us into fits of laughter. The condolences of the Batch of 1960 Entrants to the Medical Faculty, Colombo,go to his wife Grace and children Channa and Susan. May he attain the Bliss of Nibbana.
