Nassau, Bahamas -

Enclosed are remarks at the funeral service for Mr. Ronald
Darville, delivered in Freeport at the Pro-Catherdal of Christ the King
Anglican Church  by Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham.

We have gathered to
bid a final farewell to a much loved husband, father and dear friend
who life has been cut short by a terrible tragedy.  Our hearts reach
out to all the bereaved family whom we shall keep in our prayers.

Ron was a proud Bahamian and a
faithful supporter of the Free National Movement.  I am therefore
doubly honoured to have been invited to bring remarks on this occasion.

Ron Darville Sr. or "Yankee" as those
closest to him called him was born in Sandy Point, Abaco, but spent
most of his adult life here in Grand Bahama...
