Summary
With deep sorrow I record the death of Dr N J Walloopillai who passed away in his 85th year, on the 6th of February 2011. This appreciation highlights some aspects of his life with special focus on his pioneering role in the Cardiac Investigation Unit and later in the Cardiology Institute of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka. Dr Walloopillai was born to the influential and wealthy Velupillai family in Balangoda. It is interesting to note that when he was admitted to this school the Warden, Canon De Saram, changed the spelling of his name from Velupillai to Walloopillai saying that this was more user friendly.
