Statement by John Dinkelman, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires On behalf of the United States Mission to The Bahamas I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family of the late Charles T. Maynard, Former Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture.

My thoughts and prayers remain with Mrs. Maynard, their children, and the entire Maynard family during this difficult time. Mr. Maynard's untimely passing will stand as a great loss due to his devotion to the service of others.

Through his steadfast support to the development of youth, his dedication to the athletic community, and his commitment to sharing The Bahamas' rich cultural heritage, Mr. Maynard touched the lives of many throughout The Commonwealth of The Bahamas.  He will be missed and will continue to be an inspiration for years to come.
