MESSAGE FROM THE CARICOM SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE DEATH OF MR. LEONARD “TIM” HECTOR

The Secretary-General and Staff of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat have learnt with shock and great sadness of the passing of Leonard "Tim" Hector, the well-known Caribbean cricket commentator, journalist, political activist and historian from Antigua and Barbuda.

Tim was a true Caribbean man whose commitment and passion for the Region, its people and for those things which mattered most in their lives such as cricket and politics, made him a great force in his nation=s life and in the arena of Caribbean life as well.
