He was 92 years of age\u00a0 and hailed from a distinguished family with its origins in Galle. The ancestry and genealogy of the family is well recorded in the book \u201c<em>Galle as quiet as asleep \u201c(1993) by. Author Norah Roberts. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The elder son of E.G. Wikramanayake, Queens Counsel, Ranji was born into the lap of luxury. Like his father before him, Ranji attended St Thomas College, Mount Lavinia from where he entered the Ceylon Medical School, and from where he graduated, and proceeded to the UK \u00a0for Post graduate work. On his return from London with the M.R.C.P. he was appointed consultant physician at the Out Patients Department of the General Hospital, Colombo. He soon was interested in the study of diabetes and read a paper at the Plenary Scientific Sessions of the Ceylon college of Physicians, thirty years ago. After serving a Nuffield Fellowship in the UK, he moved to Australia where he worked as Diabetologist at the Prince Edward Hospital where he worked for over 10 years.He then took charge of the Diabetic Clinic at the Concord Hospital where another Sri Lankan Dr Medduma Kappagoda served as ophthalmologist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It was through my close friend and former schoolmate Dr Medduma Kappagoda that I first met Ranji who Kappa brought\u00a0 home one day about 30 years ago, in order to assess my blood sugar. That visit was the foundation on which a strong friendship developed and through which <em>\u00a0<\/em>I had the great pleasure of enjoying a dear friendship with his brother Nimal later after I moved to Melbourne.\u00a0 Ranji lived in the affluent and desirable seaside suburb of Vaucluse and his great hobby was horse racing. His father Guy, a leading Queens Counsel, had owned a string of racehorses in Colombo and was the winner of several trophies \u00a0when racing was the pastime of \u201ckings and squires\u201d. Ranji too owned at least a couple of thoroughbreds \u00a0in Sydney whose activities kept him occupied during his leisure. Ranji married Amara Weerasooria daughter of the late Dr and Mrs SE Weerasooria. Amara was Head Girl of Visakha Vidyalaya and an outstanding netball and tennis player. There combined qualities had to produce extra ordinary children.\u00a0 Their only son Priyan is a popular gastro surgeon in. Bowral, and the two daughters Roshanara\u00a0 a lawyer and Shemara is \u00a0a highly successful leader in the corporate world of Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">It was during the course of last year, and earlier this year that I had close interaction with Ranji. It was during this period that Nimal fell ill and passed away about three \u00a0months ago. Ranji was highly solicitous of Nimal\u2019s welfare, and chose to convey his medical advice to Nimal through me. Ranji the elder brother was generally of a quiet and unruffled disposition. \u00a0When Nimal was hospitalised he chose not to disturb him, and instead telephoned me for progress reports. About\u00a0 six weeks ago he rang me from his hospital bed in Prince Edward Hospital where he worked previously,\u00a0 to say in a feeble voice that his\u00a0 heart is failing on him. He left this world a few days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ranji Wikramanayake was of a rare breed, sadly lacking in the old country today. Dedicated to his profession, and guide and guardian to his family, he was honest, hardworking and generous. He was a founder member of the. Ceylon College of Physicians, and a member of the Ceylon Society of Australia for many years until his demise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0A little known aspect of his generosity was his donation of Rs five million\u00a0 in January 2016<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">to the Ceylon College of Physicians, the interest earned from the donation to be awarded annually to the best research paper on diabetes. Ranji was to personally \u00a0present the donation, but on their way to Colombo, his wife Amara fell ill \u00a0in Singapore, and had to return to Australia. He was not a man for excuses and made sure that the gift was\u00a0 made on his behalf\u00a0 by his close friend Tilak de Zoysa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ranji Wikramanayake certainly earned his rest, may he now rest in peace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #800000;\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OBITUARY &#8211; Dr P R{Ranji) WIKRAMANAYAKE (17 01. 1932 \u2013 30.07.2024) A few weeks ago, the Sri Lankan community in Australia lost one its most distinguished sons, Dr P R Wkiramanayake, known as Ranji to his friends, an accomplished and highly regarded endocrinologist.
