GCB mourns the passing of one of its stalwarts, Ronald Paul Mann
The entire cricket industry has lost a true cricket stalwart in Ronald Paul Mann, popularly known as “Rocky” Mann. Rocky served very proficiently as the Marketing Manager of the GCB during its halcyon days of the 1990s under the Presidency of Chetram Singh. Those were the days when cricket was still headquartered at the GCC ground, Bourda and there were never any thoughts of a World Cup being held here in Guyana. Rocky was very instrumental in the acquisition of sponsorships from all the major Banks, Beverage Companies and the general corporate community for the construction of Hospitality Boxes building which still houses the GCB Office presently and the Media stand which still stands tall at the Northern and Southern sides of the Bourda square.
Rocky also served as the Marketing Manager of the East Bank Demerara Cricket Association during the late 90s when they held a successful Raffle with a car being given away as the first prize.
Rocky had earlier served the cricket community as a radio commentator doing ball by ball commentary of many of our Regional cricket matches. He always had his heart well placed in assisting our cricketers and was a great cricket administrator. Rocky took ill quite a few years ago and has quietly passed away at his home in Mc Doom this past week. The entire cricket community will join the GCB in extending its sincerest condolences to his wife, Zel Mann, his children, Jason & Alyeah and the rest of his family and relatives at this time of bereavement.
