Immediate past leader of the People’s Action Movement (PAM) and former Deputy Prime Minister of the Team Unity administration Shawn Richards (who is the present Parliamentary Representative for Constituency Five), via his Facebook account also paid respect to his friend and shared details of what Phillip’s last birthday celebration looked like birthday. We sincerely wished him happiness, a long life, good health, and many other positive blessings,” he shared.
Richards added: “I took the opportunity to once more extend birthday wishes with a phone call later in the day and inquired about his decision to stay in and consume nothing more than water. To my mild surprise, he said he was succumbing to the persuasions of friends and coming out, leading us to meet again that day.
Imagine my further surprise when, the following – LOCAL NEWS – Sunday, our paths crossed once more for quite a few hours as he humorously accounted for an early morning shopping errand that had extended beyond his initial intent. He joked that the chicken that he had bought to cook had perhaps already thawed out.” He went on to say: “Less than a week ago, our most recent interaction was accompanied by an invitation to meet.
We traversed from McKnight to the strip, then to Newtown while engaging in a seamless discussion. We touched on various subjects during our outings, including his son’s post-graduation employment, his daughter’s progress, his intended participation in a family reunion in Antigua this week, national affairs, sports, and even my retirement as the leader of PAM, all the while not allowing our differing political affiliations to overshadow our camaraderie.
His capacity as an advisor in the Ministry of Sports began under my tenure as the minister. I held his insight and experience in high regard.” Richards expressed that he is saddened and shocked. “The news of Glen Ghost Phillip’s passing this morning has profoundly saddened and shocked me.
His vitality and spirit, evident in our recent interactions, are poignant reminders of his departure. I am grateful for his enduring friendship, invaluable guidance, and unwavering commitment to the well-being of our nation and its people.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his entire family, especially his children and their mother. Rest in peace, my dear friend. You will be sorely missed.” Front Page Photo: Well-known public figure Glen ‘Ghost’ Phillip (left) who has passed away, seen interacting with Prime Minister Dr.
