I'm sorry for your losses.

So sad that he fell while hiking on vacation during the Christmas holidays- he was never going to make it after that.
He and Kari Levitt were great friends for decades.

he died doing what he loved? Better than years being in a situation that sucks. I always think when I read these stories that perhaps they are somewhat lucky? Vacation, hiking, waterfalls, holidays... love you, malaise. xoxox

although I would have died days after the fall since we both have living wills which would have prevented attempts to keep me alive after being paralyzed from the neck down.
Love you back sis

Norman was paralyzed from the neck down, but he did not have a living will.

May these wonderful beings R.I.P.

Dominica is a beautiful island and I had not heard that Professor Girvan had taken a bad fall there. Both men sounded like they were great representatives of their home countries. I'll definitely bookmark your thread so the I can remember to learn more about them online.

I had dinner with a friend who was a Member of Parliament in T&T and who was held hostage in the Parliament Building (Red House) in Port of Spain for three days. He literally wrote his will on a tissue. His hair turned gray in a week. ANR was shot during the coup.

hostage if he had diabetic health issues. He was most definitely a man of courage.

and yes he's a survivor.

which is why making a difference while you can is so important. Having a vision-trying to improve the world-those are worthy pursuits. Not everybody leaves behind words like this:

Like Carter he talked the walk Norman was also fearless- a great man.

and RIP to two great leaders.
