He was not a tall man but carried himself like a giant in the eyes of junior lawyers like me. His imposing presence could not hide a warm heart. He had time for us \u2013 to stop and ask how we were. Later when we ventured nervously into the Bar Council Canteen where the great and the famous gathered to lunch Sunil would call us to his table and we listened and learned and laughed at his wit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">Sunil\u2019s eminence in law and his service to two nations almost did not happen. His childhood passion, he told me once, was motor mechanics. All he wanted to be, in his own words, was a grease monkey. His father had other ideas and dangled the carrot Sunil could not resist. He promised to buy him a car if he gained admission to the Ceylon Low College. The rest as they say is history. Sunil thought never lost his passion for making things with his hands. He maintained a workshop at home, perhaps to the mild annoyance of his neighbors. But the neighbors loved him and Senani. The de Silvas\u2019 were generous with their parties, I am told, were always great.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\">As a lawyer, Sunil was blessed with a silver tongue and a quicksilver brain. He could have become super rich like some of his predecessors if he engaged in privet practice. However, his loyalty above all was to the rule of law. He reached the pinnacle of the profession and served as the chief law officer of the state at a turbulent time in Sri Lanka\u2019s modern history. There were two insurrections in the South and three decades of ethic civil conflict in the North. There was emergency rule of for long periods. Sunil was unwavering in his defense of the rule of law often earning the displeasure of the political masters. There were laws that I am sure he disagreed with but which he was duty bound to enforce. Through it all he retained the respect of the legal profession and of the judiciary. The presence here of one of the finest lawyers of Sunil\u2019s era former Attorney-General Hon\u00a0Shiva Pasupati\u00a0and another outstanding lawyer and\u00a0Ananda Amaranath\u00a0is a testament to his magnificent career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Farewell Sunil, my friend, May you attain Nibbana.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remembering Mr\u00a0Sunil de Silva\u00a0\u2013 on his Death Anniversary 28th Feb 2022 \u2013 by an Old Boy of Royal College,\u00a0Prof Suri Ratnapala Most venerable Bhikkhu Banthe Sujatho, Mrs\u00a0Senani de Silva, Mr\u00a0Sidath de Silva, Relatives, Distinguished Attendees and Friends gathered here today to pay respects and bid farewell to Sunil.
