Dear Editor,
I am extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Shri Nowrang Persaud who died two weeks ago, at the age of 85. Nowrang, as we called him, was a very prominent human relations person, an inspiration in business administration. He had a recognized name brand as a human relations consultant with politicians seeking his service especially in the sugar industry. Nowrang was a man of financial integrity, a characteristic that is absent in government and in many businesses in Guyana. He grew up in poverty and faced racism, but did not allow this adversity to handicap him.
Nowrang was born and raised in rural Corentyne before moving on to estate and suburban life, acquiring tertiary education. Nowrang worked with tireless energy and passion at GuySuCo, DDL, and other companies that sought his service, taking them to greater heights. He was an international figure. He worked globally through the UN. His diplomatic flair and amiable character made him a person whose presence was sought in various business sectors.
He read the independent press like a daily prayer.
May I use this opportunity to convey my deepest sympathy to his family? Nowrang was a special person who will never be forgotten by those whose lives he touched.
Sincerely,
Dr. Vishnu Bisram
