Critchlow was the sports editor of Stabroek News for a few years in the early 1990s. Stabroek News Editor-in-Chief Anand Persaud expressed condolences on behalf of the entire newspaper to Critchlow’s family on his passing. He said Critchlow would be well-remembered for his keen insight into cricket and other sports and his engaging personality.
Persaud said while Critchlow held pugnaciously to his views he was also a gentleman who dispensed fatherly advice to the many staff members he came into contact with on a daily basis.
Critchlow leaves to mourn nine children and his wife, Daphnie. His funeral service and burial will be held in New Jersey today.
