The fu­ner­al for the late Mar­tin Ter­ry Ron­don, for­mer chair­man of the San­gre Grande Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion and coun­cil­lor for Va­len­cia East/To­co will take place on Wednes­day.

This was con­firmed yes­ter­day by Ron­don’s rel­a­tives as well as Ken­wyn Phillips, the present chair­man of the San­gre Grande Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion.

Rel­a­tives said the fu­ner­al ser­vice will be held at the St Charles RC Church in Tu­na­puna at 11 am. Fol­low­ing the ser­vice there will be a pub­lic view­ing at the Na­tion­al Rac­quet Cen­tre, Or­ange Grove Road, Tacarigua, and then to the near­by Bel­groves Fu­ner­al Home, Trinci­ty, for the cre­ma­tion.

Be­fore that, Ron­don’s body will be tak­en on Mon­day to the San­gre Grande Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion, where he spent 28 years as both a coun­cil­lor and chair­man, for pub­lic view­ing.

Anisia Williams, coun­cil­lor for Va­len­cia East/To­co, who re­placed Ron­don, said a mo­tor­cade was planned for Mon­day from Matelot to the cor­po­ra­tion in the for­mer coun­cil­lor’s ho­n­our.

Mem­bers of the cor­po­ra­tion and res­i­dents of the com­mu­ni­ties are ex­pect­ed to hold a wake for Ron­don as well.
