Wickramaratne was from a very prominent family in Waga, Avissawella. He worked as a civil servant at the Rubber Department and performed his service in the capacity of Chief Advisory Officer. My mother late Mrs. Ruby Sumana Attapattu was brought up in Weedagama, Bandaragama and hails from the historical Weedaagama Indigenous medical family.
