Bertram Nanayakkara Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 28, 2024.
Elmhurst - Dr. Bertram Nanayakkara, beloved pediatrician and devoted family man, passed away peacefully at the age of 85. Born in Sri Lanka on January 3, 1939, Bertram dedicated his life to the well-being of children and the support of families in the community, practicing medicine until nearly his 80th year.

Bertram is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Sunil, his daughter, Sonali, and his youngest sibling, Gamini. He was preceded in death by their cherished son, Himesh. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him, but his legacy of compassion and dedication to helping others will live on in the countless lives he touched.
