Dr. Mahinda De Silva Jayasinghe, a Specialist Consultant, talented cricketer, devoted father, loving husband, caring brother-in-law and good friend is no more.
From the day he joined our family, he was a source of strength and support as well as a joy to know.
He was a caring human being full of humour, with a love of music, art, and literature. He enjoyed listening to his favourite composers, in particular Mozart.
There was no subject he could not talk on with authority and knowledge. It was a pleasure to be in his company. An immaculate dresser, he loved a good yarn.
