BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Jul 19 2016 – The St. Kitts-based Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) says it is “deeply saddened by the sudden and tragic passing” of Andy Delmar, the managing director of 1st National Bank St. Lucia Limited.
Delmar, who was also president of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) Bankers Association, died in a vehicular accident in St. Lucia on Sunday.
“Andy demonstrated strong leadership of the recently revived ECCU Bankers Association and had great plans. We regarded him as a willing and able partner and were looking forward to doing some progressive things together, to take our banking industry to the next level,” said ECCB Governor Timothy N. J. Antoine.
The St. Lucia-based Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) also extended its condolences to the family of the banker, describing him as a “banker of extraordinary vision, sensitivity and imagination who viewed his profession as a facilitator of financial opportunity for persons from all walks of life.
“Andy was a professional of unmatched competence and a passionate person drive. To excellence in all that he did… But above all he was a wonderful, gentle, joyful person, a loving husband and dedicated father,” said OECS Director General Dr. Didacus Jules.
“The OECS Commission will miss his financial advice,” the group said.
The Open campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) where Delmar also served as Chairman of the Finance Sub-Committee of Campus Council, said “UWI flags at the Open Campus Country Sites will be flown at half-mast … on the day of the funeral”.
