Tribute to Anthony Rampersad

THE EDITOR: Who was Anthony Rampersad? A humble unassuming person who has contributed so much to us in Trinidad and Tobago. Today we are celebrating his life with thanksgiving. Born January 16, 1953 he passed away on September 6, 2003. He worked for 30 years at UWI Bookshop and all who passed through this institution knew him to be kind and pleasant to all who came in contact with him. He was a member of many organisations including TANA, and the February 18th Movement of which Dr James Millette was the leader and he worked hard with all.

He was an associate member of Working Women for Social Progress. His contribution to these organisations was tremendous. He passed away to the Great Beyond and we remember him for his humorous, unassuming quality, a friend to all. We of the February 18th organisation pay tribute to a brother who has fought the fight and won the race and a crown of glory is prepared for him. Long live the memory of Anthony Rampersad. We will remember him for all the good he has done and may his soul rest in peace.
