I still remember the day I met you and your son PaulMarie in 2011, I consider myself highly privileged to have learnt music theory and techniques in playing the piano from you.
As a child I had been a fan of your songs 'Master Sir', 'Nim Him' and 'Kalpanaawo' without ever knowing its composer, it was later that I knew that the composer was none other than Nimal Mendis, never did I dream that this composer would one day be a good friend of mine (and my family).
The attitude you held during your lifetime was a marvel even to our generation, there was a lot we all could learn from you. The entire Country will miss your music and all those who knew you would miss both your music and kindness forever.
