The Nation has lost a patriot, a statesman, a constituency representative and community advocate, an entrepreneur, and a lover of people today, April 23rd.
Hilson “Brother B” Baptiste has left us, but left us richer for having known him, worked with him, and been loved by him.
On behalf of the United Progressive Party, I extend heartfelt condolences to his wife and children, his immediate family and relatives, and the people of the Republic of St. Mary’s South on the passing of Brother B.
We will never, ever forget this fearless warrior, and we solemnly pledge to keep his memory and legacy alive.
I ask for the Nation’s prayers for his family at this sad time.
May the soul of Hilson “Brother B” Baptiste rest in peace and rise in glory to be with his Lord.
Hon. Jamale Pringle
Political Leader
United Progressive Party

The one and only DULY ELECTED LEADER of the UPP has spoken!
I guess that following death a person becomes, not the ugly, foulmouthed, wicked, corrupt man who once walked this earth, invincible, untouchable. As a jumby-fearng people, we immediately get into absolution mode. Monsters become angels, beasts become saints. So for the next month I’ll try my best to live through this cultural practice full of pomp and ceremony and watch, unimpressed as the dead bury their dead.l
This is a suitable send off when Gaston hits the bucket
