Shivasunderam "Sri"'s obituary

Shivasunderam “Sri” Vinayagalingam, 79, passed away peacefully on June 4, 2020 in his home surrounded by his wife, daughter, and close friends. Sri was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka on February 11, 1941 to the late Thuraiyappa Sivakadarcham and Appukkuddy Shivasunderam, former member of parliament.

Sri moved to London in 1963 and studied Engineering at The University of London, graduating in 1970. He then joined Bechtel in 1973 as a mechanical engineer and worked as a devoted member of the Bechtel family for 43 years before retiring in 2016. He served as a Project Manager on many different projects, taking him to Indonesia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and all over the world. He was also a member of the Ilankai Tamil Sangam Texas (ITST) since moving to Houston, Tx in 1995.

Sri was kind-hearted, generous, and never met a stranger. His quick wit and humor were infectious and made him friends wherever he went. Growing up, he enjoyed playing tennis, cricket, and bridge.

Sri lived a long life and was blessed to have a loving wife of 34 years, Sarojini Vinayagalingam. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Sarojini; children: Natasha, Roger and wife Sharon, David and wife Anka, and Asita and husband Luxman; grandchildren: Joshua, Annika, Florence, and India; and Sri’s siblings: Mahenderan, Indrani, Jegatheeswaran, Ganeshalingam, Wignarajah, Sriskandarajah, and Jegatheeshwari.
