(Trinidad Express) Kenneth Valley was a selfless man who would give a stranger the shirt off his back, his son Kerwyn said yesterday. He added that his father measured his wealth not by materialism but by the lives he touched in his own journey through life.
Valley, 63, a former government minister and stalwart of the People’s National Movement (PNM), died on Friday at his Diego Martin home at 3.30 a.m. after a long battle with cancer.
His wife Carol and two of his six children were at his side at the time of his death, as well as two nurses.
Condolences and expressions of sympathy poured in yesterday from former political colleagues and friends as well as present members of Government.
In an interview with the Express at his home, Valley’s son, Kerwyn, recounted his father’s pain and joys over the last year up to the few hours before his death.
