Dear Editor,
On behalf of the Patron, President and Members of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, I would like to extend our great sympathy to the family of our honorary member, Mr Terence Holder. We are all saddened at the death of a remarkable person, who played a major role in our club’s rise to become the leading youth and sports organization in Guyana. Mr Holder as Deputy General Manager of GT&T was solely responsible for getting the company on board with us as an official sponsor from 1994 to present. He was a friend, supporter and mentor to every member of the RHTY&SC and even used his influence in the Guyana Cricket Board to get one of our players into the national Under 19 trials in 1997 after he was overlooked by the selectors despite outstanding performances throughout the year.
That player went on to score a century and a fifty in two trial matches and was selected for the national team.
Our country is without doubt poorer with the passing of Mr Holder.
His contribution to telecommunication, broadcasting and sports are well documented but what we would always remember about him was his warmth, honesty and dedication to assisting those less fortunate than him.
We shall miss him but our tribute would be to maintain the high standard we have set ourselves. Our club would always remember him as one of our best friends.
Rest in peace Mr Holder.
Yours faithfully,
Hilbert Foster
Secretary/ CEO
