Numbers were his forte

Luke Mohan Wisidagama

George Bernard Show once said "You may be younger in years, but older in hours if you have lost no time". The sudden demise of Mohan on August 13 was a grave loss for St. Peter's College, Bambalapitiya, where he had been a reputed Maths master for over 25 years. He was a simple person with an avalanche of knowledge in Maths. He helped many a Peterite achieve high marks in Maths with his exam-oriented teaching skills. He was only 53 years old at the time of his death.

Mohan was the only son of late Mr. Wisidigama, a reputed veterinary surgeon attached to the government service who had also held many consultancy posts overseas. With his debating skills, he used to shine at any gathering when subjects such as education, politics or current affairs were discussed.

Mohan was educated at St. Joseph's College, Colombo and he leaves his only sister who is a Consultant Anaesthetist at the National Hospital.

May his soul Rest In Peace!
