    I was told he passed on. I remember him very well.
    Sorry to know of his passing. His life was well-lived, active and in the political arena. Now it is time for him to take his rest.
    My condolence to his family.
    Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace. Amen!

    My condolences to my former school mate Augustas and the rest of the family. Dominica has lost a great man, not only in stature but in the civic duties that he was a part of. We mourn your loss. You’ve lost a father, we a friend.
    May he Rest In Peace .p

    I don’t think he contested the Grand Bay constituency in 1980. Juliana Henderson won the seat for DFP
