Saint Lucia Mourns the Loss of Tom Walcott

By SLP

Tom Walcott was my friend, advisor, critic, consoler, and epitomised Labour. The news of his death this morning took me on a journey of fond memories, struggles, and victories. From my entry into the politics of Saint Lucia, Tom's unwavering support and loyalty guided me along a path which led me to becoming the Prime Minister of this country, an achievement which I am grateful that he got to witness. Tom believed in service to his country and his Party. He was guided by a philosophy of "not what my party can do for me, but what I can do for my party" - that is how much he loved, lived and breathed the Labour Party. To his family, friends, and the Saint Lucia Labour Party, accept my sincerest condolences; we have lost a true and faithful soldier, Chairman Emeritus. Rest in peace my comrade.
