Farewell to Randy Bess
Dear Editor,
Saturday last, two ladies drove to my home to bring bad news. Our colleague, Randy Bess died. Randy was a Trade Union official who served up to the level of the TUC. He like many, served here then went overseas and then returned to his roots and died.
While we were both in Néw York, Randy was instrumental in arranging regular meetings of Trade Unionists living and passing through. We met regularly in my wife’s house basement for discussions, gaffs and drinks. We sent support to the TUC regularly.
I also visited his and Hazel’s home.
When I returned, I started a Sunday run where I interacted with some stalwarts on an ad hoc basis including Randy, Oscar, Henry, Joan, Desmond and others. I know Norman is in Berbice. Recently I invited a “young” colleague to join me but he declined citing “busy.” We are leaving one by one. To the family and friends of Randy, I offer sad condolences. RIP.
Yours truly,
LA Camacho
