Estimados,
Lamento el sensible fallecimiento de nuestro colega Roosevelt King.
Tengo gratos recuerdos del tiempo que estuvimos juntos en Costa Rica.
En estos momentos no tiene ninguna importancia las diferencias que
podamos haber tenido después. Se que era un hombre que defendía con
pasión y convicciones sus ideales y lo que creía que era mejor para la
Región.
Espero que su familia encuentre pronto consuelo por tan enorme pérdida.
Saludos

Hi,
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.

My condolences.
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.
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.
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.
