The Late Prof T Varagunam
Condolences message read by Prof Mike Sedgwick the elected Trustee of PeMSAA-UK at the late Prof Varagunam's funeral on behalf of the association.
Peradeniya Medical School Alumni Association-UK (PeMSAA-UK) Executive Committee and the association’s members are terribly saddened by the loss of one of our most respected and popular teachers of the golden years of the Peradeniya Medical School, the great supporter of Peradeniya Medical Faculty and the Peradeniya Medical School Alumni around the globe. Professor Varagunam was an inspiration to everyone he knew; we fondly remember the dedication he has shown towards medical education, his earnest support, affable and approachable mannerism to the students and his junior staff are some of his many charming characteristics. He was the epitome of a mentor, educator and a close friend.
It was an honor and privilege to have had Professor Varagunam and his wife Mrs Thyalam Varagunam as the Chief Guest of PeMSAA-UK Inaugural Ball on 17th June 2017. We are fortunate to have had his blessings at the inception of this new PeMSAA-UK and he had been an ardent supporter and an ambassador for PeMSAA-UK. The demise of this legend is a huge loss and he will be missed terribly.
PeMSAA-UK would like to extend our sincere condolences to his wife Thyalam Varagunam, his daughters Mira, Radha and Sita and the rest of his family.
As one of the former Roman statesman said “The life given us by nature is short but the memory of a life well spent is eternal”
