Monday, May 3, 2004 - The Cabinet of Ministers wishes to express sincere
condolences to the family of the late Desmond Skeete, former Chairman of the
Saint Lucia Tourist Board, who passed away on Thursday 29th April, 2004.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, the Prime Minister said: “Mr. Skeete was
more than just a Chairman of a statutory organization, he was a driving force
behind Saint Lucia Jazz, the Double Wicket Cricket Competition, the hosting of
international cricket in Saint Lucia, and the preparation of Saint Lucia’s bid
to host matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup. His was a relentless pursuit
of excellence and a constant striving to make Saint Lucia a truly World Class
destination”.
“Desmond has always put St. Lucia first, above self. He was a remarkable
individual, incapable of rancour, anger and ill will. Truly, he was a consummate
diplomat. We all will miss Desmond’s enthusiasm, his dedication, thoroughness
and most of all his professionalism. It is rare to find in one individual such a
sophisticated combination of skills”.
“Personally, I will miss his trusted counsel and his most genuine friendship”.
“May his soul rest in peace.”
