Remarks on the passing of James Tanny Rose<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

By Sir Ronald Sanders<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I learned with great sadness of the passing today of James Tanny Rose.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Although he never achieved high political or governmental office, he was always close to the political activity in Antigua and Barbuda throughout his life.<\/p>\n

Both in the political parties and the trade union with which he was associated, he was a fearless figure, standing-up for the positions he felt were justified and aways with the interest of Antigua and Barbuda upper most in his mind.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

As a regular commentator on radio, he had no hesitation in identifying what he considered to be unjust.\u00a0 At the same time, he was always ready to advance causes that he judged to be just.<\/p>\n

In that long and fearless journey, he naturally earned admirers and detractors.\u00a0 But it was neither fame nor notoriety that he sought; his motivation was always to venture where others feared to tread so that every issue could be given deep consideration in the interest of the nation,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A mighty voice may have fallen silent today, but its echoes will resonate in our memories for years to come. We will remember James Tanny Rose as a true nationalist and patriot.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I send my deepest condolences to Tanny\u2019s children and his family and friends.<\/p>\n
