On his return to Ceylon he lived at the ancestral house in Gintota till the mid 1940s. When the house was sold after the death of the second Mrs. Don Davit , he was accommodated in an Elders' Home for sometime & later at his sister, Muriel Salgado's home. He passed away in the early 1960s. He was extremely fluent in English & very knowledgeable about world affairs of his time. He lived almost a normal life, able to travel about on his own & converse as a normal person.
