ST.GEORGE, Grenada, April 26th 2011 - Prime Minister Tillman Thomas has described the contribution of former Speaker of the Grenada House of Representatives, Sir Curtis Strachan, as immeasurable and invaluable.

The Prime Minister this morning interrupted a sitting of the House of Representatives to inform the House of the passing of Sir Curtis, who gave 52 years of service to Grenada at various positions within the Public service, including Clerk of Parliament and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“Sir Curt has serves as a tower of information for parliamentarians, especially those who were elected for the first time. He was never too busy to assist those who called on him for help. He was a person who gave selflessly in support of the development of our democracy,” Prime Minister Thomas said Tuesday.

He expressed on behalf of the government and people of Grenada, and on his own behalf, sympathy to the family and friends of Sir Curtis.

As a result of the Prime Minister’s intervention during this morning’s meeting of the House of Representatives, Speaker Mc Guire called for a minute’s silence in observance of the contribution of Sir Curtis to Grenada and the institution.
