Source : Australian Antonians
It is with much sadness we notify the demise of our friend and old-Antonian, GORDON COORAY, who passed away peacefully yesterday. He was 88.
Gordon was an active member of the Old Antonian Social Club (Australia) from its inception in 1981. He had the distinction of serving in different roles during his time in the committee. He was the President for two years (1984 and 1996), Secretary in 1995 and Treasurer in 1999. In recognition of his services to the Club, Gordon received the Service Award in 2016. As the photos below suggest, he was a regular at our social gatherings until recently.
Although Gordon’s time at College was brief, having studied at St Sylvester’s for most of his school career, his love and passion for SACK was enormous.
Gordon was a Banker with the Bank of Ceylon and later a Recruitment Officer and finally arranged money transfers to Sri Lanka.
Our condolences to his wife, Shanthi, and the rest of the family. In keeping with Gordon’s wishes, he will be accorded a private funeral.
Rest In Peace our friend!
