THE president, executives and members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) are saddened at the passing of the distinguished Professor Aubrey Bishop, who served as the Club’s patron since 1993.
An elderly statesman, Mr Bishop served with distinction on various committees of the Guyana Cricket Board and several sporting entities notably football.
Even though he was not active for some time, his passing last week Wednesday night has left many in a state of shock at the Queenstown Club where for a number of years he has often given necessary advice and recommendations which have added to the upward mobility of the organisation.
Professor Aubrey Bishop, a retired Chancellor of the Judiciary, leaves to mourn his wife Carole and their three children. On behalf of the president, executives and members of Demerara Cricket Club we offer sincere condolences to his wife, his children, family and countless friends. May his soul rest in eternal peace!
In the memory of Professor Bishop, DCC will be hosting a Night of Reflection and Remembrance at their Lance Gibbs and New Garden Street pavilion from 19:30hrs tonight. The club is encouraging members and friends to attend as we reflect on Professor Bishop’s life with his family, relatives and close friends.
