Our E News for March April 2017 Features Prof David Dabydeen
Dr Anthony N Sabga, 1923-2017
It is with great sadness that we advise of the passing of founder and patron of these awards, Dr Anthony N Sabga, ORTT. We will always remember him as an exceptional leader, a visionary, devoted family man, a colleague, and one of the greatest Caribbean entrepreneurs of the twentieth century, known for his legendary business acumen.
Dr. Sabga was patriotic, courageous, industrious and forthright. He had a brilliant mind. He was a devoted friend and mentor to those who needed his assistance. Never having lost his humility, Dr Sabga touched the lives of people of all backgrounds, and even at the age of 94 was still able to impart wisdom to those who were around him.
We will never forget his words: “Find a job that you like and you will never have to work one day in your life.” He certainly did. We pray that the lessons of his life, persistence, hard work, generosity, care for those less fortunate, honour, and respect for all persons, will live on in each of us.
