The Passing Away of a Pioneer

Vidya Jothi Emeritus Professor V K Samaranayaka had passed away in Stockholm, Sweden. He was a pioneer in the IT industry in Sri Lanka, and an intellectual that we as Sri Lankans can be proud of.

Even though I hadn't had the honour of attending his lectures at University, it was through his work that myself and thousands of other students past and present benefitted immensely. And generations to come will benefit into the future.

It was a life well lived!

Yes, indeed Sasani, being in Colombo uni we get some kind of a heartfelt feeling since we were benefactors of his work. :)
