In a poignant moment of remembrance, we gather to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Herbert Christopher Dharmasiri, a distinguished alumnus of St. Anne's College. With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to a remarkable individual who left an indelible mark on our beloved College and the lives of those he touched. Dr. Dharmasiri, whose passing occurred on May 9th, will forever be cherished as an exceptional member of the Annite family.
Throughout his journey, Dr. Dharmasiri harbored a profound love and gratitude for our esteemed institution, along with a deep appreciation for the Reverend Brothers and dedicated teachers who shaped his formative years. St. Anne's College held a special place in his heart, and he spoke of it with great fondness and pride. His eyes would light up with joy and nostalgia as he regaled stories from his time spent within the hallowed halls.
During his schooling, Dr. Dharmasiri resided at the College hostel, immersing himself fully in the vibrant community of Annites. It was during these years that he developed lifelong friendships and forged bonds that would withstand the test of time. Worth mentioning is the fact that his cousin, who happened to be the cricket captain, played a significant role in leading our College to numerous victories on the field.
