Here is a full release from the Cricket Association: The Executives and Members of the Georgetown Cricket Association extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Daniel Richmond.
The end of life (death) has always been a point of consternation. Coming to terms with our own mortality is perhaps one of the biggest reality checks that in most cases invoked fear, anxiety, tending towards absurdity. Sometimes death can seem distant, especially when the victims are not known to us. The haze that covers death finally clears up when those closely known to us finally succumb.
The untimely death of Daniel Richmond has shocked the cricket fraternity in Georgetown and beyond. News of his death started to circulate on Tuesday afternoon after he was involved in a tragic accident at the corner of D’Urban and Smyth Streets, Sunday last.
Daniel spent most of his cricketing, playing for T&HD, Police Sports Club and Third Class Association in Georgetown. After retirement, he later became a Cricket-Coach, Cricket Umpire and Book-Scorer. He was always close to the ears of the young cricketers to lend some advice, something he thoroughly enjoyed.
There is no doubt that his death is a big blow to his family, friends and colleagues but his life and death reminds us of our mortality; that our time to make a mark on our families and communities is limited. How well we use this time determines the legacy that we will leave behind for posterity. May his soul rest in peace.
