Dear Jason,<br>
<br>
shocking news - please be so kind to convey my condolences to his
family. I will always remember ROK as a strong defender of the
Caribbean cause, a man who had a passion for his region, his family,
his friends, and life. RIP ROK.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Hi,<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.<br>
<ul>
<li> <b>Title:</b> BANGO head passes away</li>
<li><b>URL:</b> <a href="http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/74347/bango-head-passes-away" target="_blank">http://www.nationnews.com/nationnews/news/74347/bango-head-passes-away</a></li>
</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.<br>
