Pond Island:--- A large gathering braved the hot sun on Friday afternoon to pay their last respects to one of St. Maarten's fallen heroes Greg Van Gurp. Calypsonians on St. Maarten gathered at the Festival Village in large numbers to perform their musical tributes in a short period of time due to time constraints. The funeral services began shortly after 1pm and ended by 4pm. Photos show a cross section of the crowd of people that attended the funeral service, while the other shows a fan of the late Greg Van Gurp giving her tribute next to the closed casket.
