HE Alma Adams pays tribute to the late Frank Edgecombe
Nov 14, 2013 - 9:00:03 PM
Once again, I am forced to pause and reflect on the memory of one of the Pillars of my native land, a Bahamian who always greeted you with the gift of his most gracious and warm smile.
The Honourable Frank Edgecombe, Vice President of the Senate from 1987-1992 was firstly, a Statesman of the hightest order. I, the undersigned, a neophyte Senator, during that tenure, was priviledged and honoured to learn about the finesse, strategies and protocols of conduct of the Honourable Upper Chamber of the Commonwealth Of The Bahamas from men such as he and the late, President of the Senate, The Honourable Edwin Coleby.
The Good gentleman was one who in his presentations was well prepared, fearless and forthright in his deliberations, yet, always demonstrating that he only wanted what was the best course of action to be pursued on behalf of his Bahamaland. He was one who in his quiet way fought in the trenches of yesteryear to assist in launching the Modern Bahamas.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to his beloved wife and family.
Alma Adams
