Cozier’s passing mourned by RHTY&SC

May 13, 2016 Sports

The Management and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club, M.S has expressed sadness following the death of legendary cricket journalist and commentator, Tony Cozier.

The club said in a release that Cozier was not only a Caribbean icon but the voice of West Indies Cricket. West Indies cricket, in its current state cannot afford to lose such a stalwart, whose contribution to the game in the Caribbean would never be forgotten, the club noted.
Cricket to some is a passion but to Tony Cozier it was his life and with his sudden death, the West Indies has lost an honest, hardworking and highly knowledgeable servant of the game. We shall all miss his legendary voice, his commitment to West Indies cricket in good and bad times and his honesty in his commentary and articles.
The commentary box in the Caribbean would never be the same as most listeners always looked forward to hearing Tony Cozier and for most of us, his voice would always remain in our ears.
Long before the advent of Television, it was legends like Cozier, Joseph ‘Reds’ Perriera, Henry Blofeld, Brian Johnson and Fred Truman who teased our imagination on the radio.
For the passionate cricket readers, the Sunday Stabroek News would not be the same again as we all looked forward to his weekly articles which were well researched, to the point and quite passionate about the future of West Indies cricket.
It is the sincere hope of the RHTY&SC that all of the administrators of West Indies cricket can unite as one and work for the betterment of the game as an everlasting tribute to this outstanding West Indies icon.
We would like to extend our profound sympathy to the family and friends of Tony Cozier and hope that God would guide them during this difficult time. The club would honour the late Tony Cozier, a hero to most of our members in a special way later this year, the release ends.
