Thanks, bro, for posting. He was a gentleman on and off the field.
My Antiguan brother and I spent two days with him. The second evening, we had dinner at the revolving restaurant in the Calgary Tower; what a learning experience.
As a youngster and a Blue, I got upset with him for giving light to the batsman as soon as they asked. I asked him why.
He said, cricket in Barbados is an amateur sport, several players have families, when any of them get injured who is going to support their families?
That was the early 70s; club cricket is still an amateur sport.
