(Barbados Nation) Harold Hoyte has passed away.

Hoyte, one of the founders of The Nation Publishing Co, passed away around 11:30 a.m. yesterday.

He had been ailing for a while.

Hoyte retired in December 2006 and spent much of that time immersed in research and writing several books.

He was 78-years-old. 

Earlier this month, Nation House on Fontabelle was renamed the Harold Hoyte and Fred Gollop Media Complex in honour of two of the founding members of the 45-year-old company.
