THE GUYANA Table Tennis Association (GTTA) in collaboration with the Director of Sport within the National Sports Commission (NSC), Neil Kumar, will be holding a vigil at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue tonight to celebrate the life of the late Henry Greene.

The 58-year-old Greene, who served as Commissioner of the Guyana Police Force and was at the time of his sudden passing through an accident last Friday the serving president of the GTTA and was very pivotal in the transformation of table tennis in Guyana.
The following activities will be part of this evening’s proceedings which will be held between 19:00hrs and 22:00hrs;
•  Signing of the Book of Condolence
•  Showing of Table Tennis matches
•  Tributes
•  Soft Music
•  Candle Lighting (Persons can bring their candles)

Meanwhile, Level One Course Instructor of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Richard McAfee, who is also a Hall of Famer in the United States Table Tennis Association and ITTF’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer/Executive Director for Development Glenn Tepper both expressed their sympathy to the GTTA on Greene’s death.
Below are their sympathy letters that were sent via email;
“This is very sad news indeed!  I greatly enjoyed meeting Henry while I was in Guyana conducting the Level 1 Course.  His hospitality to both myself and all the coaches participating in the ITTF Course was amazing. He was indeed a very impressive man and certainly loved the sport. I know he will greatly be missed by everyone who knew him.

Respectfully,
Richard McAfee
