THE Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) will be buzzing with activity tonight when they host a ‘Night of Remembrance’  in honour of the late Lennox Hunte, a former DCC left arm orthodox spinner,  vice president and former Chairman of the Guyana Junior Selection Panel, who died  last Wednesday.
The event is being held in remembrance of Mr. Hunte’s life and contribution to cricket in Guyana.
There will be an open microphone session for persons wishing to pay tribute and share experiences about the former long standing member of the Demerara Cricket Club. It is with great sadness that we at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) learnt of the passing of this distinguished member, who served selflessly. Our prayers are with his closest family and friends whom are deeply affected, DCC president Alfred Mentore said yesterday.
Mr. Lennox Hunte contributed not only as a slow bowler but there were times when he opened the bowling with a new ball, bowling left arm medium pace.
He was also a very good lower order batsman, who got very useful contributions that was instrumental in DCC winning many matches.
Mr. Hunte was a man of character and was known to many as a disciplinarian, a man who held on to his point of view, especially when he believed that it was the right thing to do.
As a member, he would be deeply missed in the development of young cricketers at DCC and by extension Guyana and it is the view that someone of his calibre is irreplaceable.
The event, which is jointly, hosted by the Demerara Cricket Club, Hunte’s family members, friends of DCC and the Guyana Cricket Board will start at 19:00h and all members, family and friends are invited.
In addition, persons wishing to attend in the funeral tomorrow are advised that the body leaves the  Merriman’s Funeral Home at 11:00h, and arrives at the DCC pavilion for 11:30h where it will remain until 13:00h for those desirous of viewing same and paying further tributes.
The cortege leaves DCC at 13:00h for the Ebenezer Gospel Hall, Lot 32 Ebenezer Drive, West Ruimveldt for funeral service at 15:00h, following which  burial will take place.
