Dear Editor,
Dr Roger Forbes Luncheon’s funeral was an unadulterated epitome of the man he was; it was punctuated with a great sense of statesmanship, servitude, and unassuming authority.
One of his many hallmarks, including his ability to contingently plan and mitigate any situation, was evident there when he read his own eulogy.
His astute attribute of being self-effacing was on full display with the scores and scores of grassroots members and those in the hierarchy of leadership that attended.
The ceremony, although fit for a Head of State, had the Luncheon touch from start to end: the hymn from his alma mater, sonnets, Bobb Marley, all of which were his last wishes, culminated with the gathering of comrades he loved and those that loved him.
This quintessential human has made an indelible mark on many of us in and out of Government. His name will forever be etched in the annals of history as a national icon. It was a great honour, and I will forever be thankful for serving with him.
Farewell, HPS, the Administration has noted your contributions.
Sincerely,
Ronald A
Harsawack
