The Anguilla House of Assembly observed a minute of silence as a mark of respect for the passing of Mr. Arrindell Lewis of Lower South Hill, proprietor of the House of Chandeliers, who died on Thursday, August 27, and for Mrs. Agatha Richardson (Mom-Gats) of North Hill who died on Saturday, September 5. Chief Minister Osbourne Fleming described them as two stalwarts of Anguilla.

The late Mr. Arrindell Lewis

Mr Lewis’ family submitted a funeral and memorial announcement to The Anguillian for publication. It reads as follows:

“It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Mr. Arrindell Alexander Lewis, who died at his home in South Hill on August 27, 2009, at the age of seventy-five years.

“Relatives and friends of the late Mr. Arrindell Alexander Lewis are asked to note that a Memorial Service will be held in his honour on Thursday 10th September, 2009 at the Ebenezer Methodist Church at 5.00 p.m.
“The funeral arrangements for the late Mr. Arrindell Alexander Lewis will be given in a subsequent announcement.
“To the bereaved family and friends of the late Mr. Arrindell Alexander Lewis we extend deepest sympathy.”

The late Agatha Richardson

Mom-Gats, like Mr. Lewis, was a popular figure and business person in North Hill. She was honoured in this year’s Anguilla Day celebrations at the Ronald Webster Park for her social development contribution to Anguilla.

It is understood that the funeral will be held at the Christian Fellowship Church at Blowing Point on Saturday, September 12, commencing at 3.00 p.m.

The Anguillian offers its condolences to the families of these two late outstanding nationals.
