Indeed, this is a way for his legacy to endure and continue to instruct for generations to come.
Today, Sir, I simply wish to herald and acknowledge a man who diligently and honourably served his nation and made it a better place for generations to come. On behalf of the Government and people of Trinidad and Tobago, I pay the highest possible tribute to one of our society's greatest nation-builders and the epitome of the quintessential national spirit. May he rest in peace.
