Born 07 APR 1935 / Rest 27 MAY 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Joseph Bastiampillai on May 27, 2025. Born April 7, 1935, in Atchuvelly, Sri Lanka to the late Nicholapillai Bastiampillai and the late Mariamma Bastiampillai, Joseph spent his years in Jaffna and Colombo before moving to Canada after retirement.
He was son-in-law to the late Santhiapillai Saverimuthu, and the late Magdalene Saverimuthu. He is mourned by his wife of 61 years, Mary Bastiampillai (Prema), with whom he shared a lifetime of love and partnership. He leaves behind his children, Sharmini Ramanathan, Nishani Karunakaran and Roshani Phillips, who carry forward his legacy of love, kindness, and strength, along with his son-in-laws, Anthony Ramanathan, Ronald Karunakaran and Chris Phillips (Deva).
He was preceded in death by his siblings, Mary Stella (Mani), Mary Latitia (Baba), Pius and Peter. Joseph was brother-in-law to the late Gnanapragasam, the late Emmanual, the late Rajes, Arulmala, the late Anton, Leema, Aloysius, Ratnes, Hema, Edward Anton, Ida, Stanley, Alex and Verni.
His legacy lives on through his 9 grandchildren, Ashlee, Nisha, Hailey, Amish, Kevin, Kathleen, Anjana, Sahana and Yathavi, and 2 great-grandchildren, Jaden and Leo, each of whom he cherished deeply.
We find comfort in knowing that Joseph's legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
We request our relatives, friends and families to accept this notice through RIPBOOK.
