In the midst of life we are in death. This is so true in the case of Chandra Ranasinghe, who passed away suddenly, in his sleep, a victim of cardiac arrest.
The people of Kadawatha will bemoan the untimely demise of a much-loved and respected resident.
Chandra spent his childhood days in his native place, Galle, and was a student at a leading educational institution, where he excelled in his studies. He was also a keen sportsman.
After leaving school, he gained employment in the state transport sector as a field officer. To better his prospects, he went to Dubai where he worked as a tractor operator at the Dulsco Refinery Company, where he soon rose to the position of foreman. After eight years of service in Dubai, he returned to his motherland.
Chandra was soft spoken, sober and genial. He went out of his way to help others. He had friends from all walks of life. He was a popular figure at all family get-togethers and parties.
Chandra was a loving husband to his wife Mallika.
His two sons and daughter will miss their beloved father, who was a tower of strength to them.
