Palmer died. Colin wrote some excellent biographies of leaders in the English-speaking Caribbean.

Deepest sympathy to all his friends and family.

Colin was here last year for the PNPs 80th anniversary lecture.

Funeral service tomorrow at UWI 2.30pm
Colin will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear this.

Colin's exceptionally well researched book, Freedom's Children, was launched along with my We Come From Jamaica at UWI the same day, October 15, 2014. That is when I met him.

I am shocked and saddened to learn of this death. He was a seeker after truth.
