This is very distressing. ROK will be missed in the Caribbean and in
At-Large.<br><br>
My condolences to his family and colleagues.<br><br>

I'm sad to report that I just noticed that our colleague Roosevelt King,
Secretary General of the Barbados Association of Non-Governmental
Organisations (BANGO) and active in LACRALO has passed away. I double
checked the veracity of the article.

</ul>My condolences.<br><br>
Since I met Roosevelt in person about 2 years ago he has been such a
valuable source of information and support for me. In recent times, I
called him perhaps monthly to clear up my understanding of some LACRALO
discussions and also to discuss local Internet Governance (IG)
ideas.<br><br>
He was regularly busy and sometimes in meetings but he usually made some
time for me. I especially appreciated that he always seemed like he was
showcasing his genuine self and he was very much into acting out of love
for his fellow man, representing the people, the powerless and trying to
keep treasured traditions alive. I also think that even after heated
differences of opinion, he loved the fellow humans and could instantly
switch to a friendly mode.<br><br>
His loss does leave me in a lonelier place. His contribution and
encouragement with respect to us having remote hubs of some IG events and
moving to form an Internet Society Barbados Chapter have been most
significant. I will miss his counsel and we are poorer for the loss.
