Sucker Garden:--- Scores of friends and co-workers gathered at the Royal Funeral Home on Monday to pay their last respects to Radford Seaford aka Skinny who was murdered a week ago by his lover. Among them was his sister Kimelia Austin who arrived on the island just days ago to take her brother's corpse to his native country where he will be laid to rest. Several friends and persons who knew Skinny in the Dutch Quarter wailed as they saw his body lying in a white casket. Some of them kept screaming that what happened to Skinny was not fair, "the children has lost their father, what will they do now?" were words coming from the female mourner.Other neighbors who once lived at the Dolly's Apartment Building where Skinny was a caretaker spoke highly of him as being a man of compassion, one that went out of his way to make other people happy and most importantly a jovial person in their neighborhood.
His sister Kimelia described him a s sports man, one that loved to play marbles, cricket, table tennis, a great kite maker and flyer, yet he excelled in school and was part of the tactical unit of the Guyana Police Force prior to migrating to St. Maarten where he lived for the past 22 years. The body of the late Radford Seaford will be taken to Guyana on Wednesday for the funeral services thereafter.
