A most distasteful, deplorable, dishonorable act

Apr 15, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

We are the family of the late, beloved, and well respected, Mr. Henry Rodney, who died about a week ago in the United States of America. As you may know, his remains have not yet been laid to rest.
As a family, we are trying desperately to join our extended families, friends, and fans to honour him with a sacred send-off that would display our love, appreciation, and gratitude for the outstanding life he lived. We want to celebrate the remarkable legacy he has left us, his family, and the nation of Guyana, as a whole.
Mr/Ms. Editor, the reason we are writing this letter is because of the insensitivity of some charlatans among us who are invading our moment of sorrow and grief. People who are using the death of my father to raise money to satisfy their own ulterior motives. They have not consulted with us. They have not sought our permission. We have not given them our approval. Yet, they are publicly using his name to promote events for which there is a cover charge. We are seeking your help to warn such people that this is a most distasteful, deplorable, dishonorable act of disrespect to my mom, my siblings, and Guyana, as a whole.
We are terribly hurt and disturbed by this dastardly act during this time of bereavement. I am attaching a poster from one source which must cease to be circulated, immediately. My father worked assiduously to establish a name of integrity, and he should be honoured with the peaceful rest he deserves. No one should seek to capitalise on his reputation and his accomplishments.

Yours truly,
Tamara, Tuana, and Tchaiko Rodney
