I was saddened to learn today of the passing of former Deputy Chief of the Barbados Government Information Service, John Manning and Caricom Secretariat official Yvonne Holder.
Mr. Manning was quite a jovial person, who seemed more comfortable working behind the scenes than in the spotlight. After his retirement more than five years ago, he took up writing and penned two novels.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Holder at a conference in Jamaica two years ago and her warm, helpful nature endeared her to many conference participants. Condolences to both their families and may they rest in peace.
