Remembering our inspiring ‘poor people’s lawyer’

Editor: January 1, 2017, marked 50 years since the passing of lawyer Alban “Uncle” Radix.

Known as the “poor people’s lawyer,” he exemplified the traits of a true trailblazer in the eyes of the many young people who grew up in the Villa/ Ratho Mill/Calliaqua and adjoining areas. He left his impact on the character building of the youth of these areas of the mid-fifties and sixties in a special way, particularly as Scout Master.

His influence can be seen and felt by the many under his tutelage who have led positive, successful lives and credit him for fostering their leadership abilities, which they have applied wherever they have found themselves in the universe.

His life still inspires others to do their best, give back to the community and find ways to make life better for others. As I reflect on the life of Alban Radix and his ability to be of assistance to his community personally and professionally, I would like to highly commend Lynette Norris Glasgow, who saw the need to help the medical facilities in the country with fans and took the initiative to fill this need.

I highly commend John Jack, his wife Verona and the SVG Association of Winnipeg for subscribing to this idea and donating several fans to the medical facilities. I highly commend the management of CD Veira Ltd (Singer) business for making this transaction possible and the management of Sports Locka Plus for engraving the fans.

We can, indeed, do so much more when we work together.

It is an inspiration which brings to the fore an attitude of gratitude for those who do good. Thanks to all who care and assist in projecting a culture of love.

Happy New Year !!!
