THE LEADER, Chairman, members of the Central Executive and the wider Party of the People’s National Congress Reform has also expressed condolence to the wife, Mara; his three children (Misha, Oya and Osa); his mother, Margaret Knight; the other members of his family, relatives, friends, members of his Cabinet, the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), and all of the people of Barbados on  the sad passing yesterday of  Prime Minister David John Howard Thompson, at the tender age of 48.
The PNCR noted that the late Thompson, who has Guyanese roots and held responsibility for the Single Market and Economy (SME) in the quasi-cabinet of CARICOM, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer for which he had been undergoing treatment for the past several months.
His wife and three children were at his bedside when he passed away at his home in St. Phillip.
May his soul rest in eternal peace!
