Mr Speaker, I rise to pay tribute and say thanks to one of this Territory’s most brilliant professionals, who has dedicated his lifetime to public service, and who has held some of the highest offices in this country, performing with distinction.

Greetings,

And a blessed Father’s Day to all fathers of these Beautiful Virgin Islands.

It is truly a privilege being blessed with the gift of Fatherhood.  Even our Heavenly Father said “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

Today, Sunday, June 21, I join with sons, daughters, mothers, sisters, and grandchildren in this Territory in celebrating our fathers.
