This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Rev. Thomas Vallamattam. We will remember him forever.
I lived with him at St. Patrick's for several months spread over 4 years and the memories keep floating by, the cigar smoking Achan listening to old Malayalam songs
I was 11 years old in 1961and a boarder at St Aloysious College Galle. Father Thomas was a Prefect and a kind and gentle one that that even though I did not make it to my ambition to do what Father Thomas has achieved will always even in my twilight years remain a constant reminder of what I wanted to be - what I could have been - and even out of the disasters of my life what I can try and
4 years have gone just like that. I was the first one he brought to Jamaica and I sense he was proud of some of the things I did.
Remember going with him to where he now rests, kind of surreal, for me.
