Dearest Roland Uncle
The good old days, is what I remember. The day, you and Pearlyn Aunty got married, I was there! The days at Hunupitiya Road, when Baby Darling Aunty used to baby sit me. The good times at the picnics at Gampaha and at Hikkaduwa. Later on at Castle Street, when I needed your advice on business. The parties! Lots of fun!
I also remember you waking me up in the middle of the night, to let me know that my mother was dying. You are the one that gave me, Iswari, Dennis, Paddy and George, the strength to carry on!
I remember the good days at Oxford Road in Los Angeles. The only photo I have is, when you accompanied me in March 1973 to the Music Center, to be sworn in as a citizen. That is when you saluted me! All these memories flashed by me, when I heard that you had gone to heaven!
Yes, heaven is where you are, with Amma and Appa, Jimmy Uncle and Sirima Aunty! Say hello for me! I am sure you guys are having a ball up there!!
We will all miss you. You were Roland Uncle to all the Rutnam "kids", and you were a good loving friend to Amma and Appa!
You will never be forgotten! You will always be in our minds!
