Ancel Lewis of Lichfield, Berbice recently turned 100 and has been hailed by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security.

“We are thrilled to announce a remarkable milestone! Originally hailing from Litchfield, Berbice, Mr. Lewis, a true legend in our midst, has achieved an incredible feat of turning 101 years and joining the prestigious (Centenarian’s) Club at the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security”, the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said that Lewis’s journey is as inspiring as it is exceptional. He began his career as a “pork knocker” before finding his way to the D’Aguiar brothers, where his dedication and hard work stood out. His path eventually led him to London, where he met the love of his life and started a family which yielded six children.
