Obituary of Cathiravelu Bascaramurty
Please share a memory of Cathiravelu to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Bascaramurty, Cathiravelu “Bascaran” of Toronto died peacefully in his sleep on April 5, 2020 at Isabel and Arthur Meighen Manor. He was 80. He was born September 15, 1939 in Jaffna, Sri Lanka and immigrated to Canada in 1972. In 1981, he married Sarojinidevi Navaratnam and they had two children. Bascaran was a banker at the Bank of Ceylon in Colombo and at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Toronto. He found great pleasure in helping friends and family from Sri Lanka settle in Canada. After he moved to Winnipeg in 1994, he continued this work volunteering with refugees. In his final years, he suffered from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a debilitating neurological condition. Bascaran was lucky to attend the weddings of both his children and meet his granddaughter Carmel in 2018. He was a storyteller, a news addict and a big-hearted extrovert who was deeply spiritual. He is survived by Sarojinidevi, Haran (Christina) and Dakshana (Anis). A memorial service will take place later this year. Memorial donations may be made to Christie Refugee Welcome Centre.
