I was extremely saddened when I heard of Owen's death.
We were friends for some 41 years beginning in 1979 when he joined the staff of the Jamaica Bauxite Institute, which I headed at the time, as Director of Economics. As he was to show later in life as Prime Minister of Barbadoos his performance was sterling. He was to my mind an example of a person of thought and action.
We kept in touch over the years and, among other things, he was the gracious host, variously, of myself, my wife, my brother, Omar (who recommended him to me in the first place), and my friend Peter Phillips at Test Matches in Barbados. But we kept in touch on many other things as well such as governance matters including the structure and functions of the Cabinet Office along the lines of developed Commonwealth countries.. Not least of all,we both shared an admiration for the Manleys, Norman and Michael. Althiough he was as Barbadian as they come he had a profound love for Jamaic and showed this in many ways..May the members of his family take some comfort in the profound usefulness of his life. May his soul rest in peace.
Please wait...
