[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Video by late Flight Radio Officer Don Lionel Sirimanne who passed away earlier this year. 

My last communication with him was on January 22, 2025:

Dear David, sorry for long silence I have been very Ill and now before the pearly gates of heaven to be with my wife in heaven. This is to say goodbye to you and wish you good health, peace and happiness. I gave your name and address to my daughter to post the book about my autobiography when she finds one. With love, Goodbye.

Goodbye my dear friend, I enjoyed our long chats on Skype and on Facebook messenger. 

Here's his video.

Those are the words he sent which accompanied the photo that I attached to the last email. 

"R/o Lionel Sirimanne at the pearly gates of Heaven says goodbye to you and all radio officers with love."

His words, his goodbye to all of you.

I didn't post this to the group because he still registers as online on Facebook.

His computer is probably still running!

I saw his grandson said he passed away, so I'm sure now, so I post this. 

He was a Flight Radio Officer and after that he went to sea.

His wife, Olga lived to be 100. He lived until 105, died after January 2025.

Olga photos.
