He was also very patriotic and very conscious about the need of Grenadians.” He is also a former president of the now defunct Bar Association of Grenada (not to be confused with the Grenada Bar Association).

He is the second Member of Parliament for people of St David to have died in 2013. Michael Dennis Lett, who represented the people of St David for the Tillman Thomas administration, died in January.
