Goodbye Haren: Our hearts will miss you
View(s):For almost 30 years, the hardworking and fun loving Haren Wijeratne served the Sunday Times with determination and dedication despite a physical handicap and other health problems.
He retired about two years ago and worked as a freelance journalist and supplement coordinator. A few days ago, Haren was taken ill and warded at a Colombo hospital where he passed away on Friday evening at the age of 53. His funeral took place yesterday at the General Cemetery, Borella.
Haren joined us in 1993 as a sub editor but he showed a lot of interest in sports and was at one time the Assistant Sports Editor.
Kind hearted, gentle and ever-ready to help others, Haren became the editorial coordinator for advertising supplements doing a wonderful job. He was a team player and worked long hours.
He leaves behind his wife Iresha, children Ashen, Matheesha and Ravindu.
He spent his last years as a devout Christian. God be with you Haren, till we meet again!
