Dear Editor
There has not been a Christmas without Santa Claus and in Guyana there has not been Christmas without seeing Mr. Raymond De Nobrega in the role of Santa Claus. This year onwards, Christmas will have to pass without Raymond in this role. He has spread the joy of Christmas across Georgetown. He had a semblance of how Santa Claus looked, hence, he drew crowds while he entertained and brought cheer to the hearts of people.
He has featured in many major Christmas events in Georgetown and has been popular among children. Apart from being Santa Claus, he had a talent for music, especially the guitar. He was active in music at Churches, especially St Teresa and Brickdam Catholic Churches.

His experiential mechanical knowledge has been praiseworthy. He has touched many hearts through his pleasant personality and clear impression of Santa Claus. He has left an ineradicable impression among the people. He will live on among us through those impressions. His legacy will be celebrated by many who knew him as bringer of joy and peace.

Jerri Dias
