DLP pays tribute to former veteran member Dr Denis Lowe

I am truly saddened by the passing of my friend and comrade Dr. Denis Lowe.

I say friend because in politics even with persons in your own party many are just comrades but Denis was my friend because he was a good and decent man.

During our two terms in office between 2008 and 2018, Denis and I sat next to each other both in Parliament and the cabinet room, so I got to share every single week of his immense intellect, humanity, devotion to his constituents, his late mother and to his family, relatives and comrades.

He was controversial in some of his mouthings but that was because his conviction to his philosophical beliefs often unbridled and loosened his tongue to the discomfort of some, but that was who he was.

His remarkable oration was informed, practiced and cultivated by his exposure to the church as a lay preacher, he was evangelical in his parliamentary speeches and his platform presentations and lectures.

On behalf of the President, Officers, Councils and members of the Democratic Labour Party I convey our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

I personally deeply mourn my friend’s passing, I shall truly miss him, farewell my buddy, may the angels soar with you and deliver you into the arms of your waiting Lord, rest in peace comrade and rise in eternal glory.
