Sports icon Wong made a difference
Last Wednesday when sports icon Hubert Wong passed away, the nation lost an individual who made a great difference in nation building through sports. In his active life, Wong was prominent at two major business concerns.
He was one of the giant contributors to the success of The Nassau Guardian establishment throughout the decades of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. He was the long-standing plant manager here when he decided to venture into his own business. Wong's Rubber Stamp and Printing Company Limited was born and became a significant part of the industry.
Sports involvement was a major artery for the man, however. In association with both The Nassau Guardian and his very own business, Wong remained synonymous with bodybuilding. Members of the bodybuilding fraternity came to him daily at The Nassau Guardian in the old days. In the evenings, they would congregate at the Wong's Gym, based those years just off Boyd Road in the Fort Charlotte area.
The same situation prevailed when his business location shifted from The Nassau Guardian in Oakes Field to Wong's Rubber Stamp and Printing on Chesapeake Road. By the time, he moved into eternity Wong had become a great two-fold influence in the country of his birth, through sports and business.
Nevertheless, it was his sporting affiliation that, in my view, rose a bit above his business, Christian and charitable contributions. The Bahamas Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (BBFF) remains one of our signature sporting organizations half of a century after it was established (then as an association) by Wong and his associates.
Wong was one of the early popular competitors, along with Cyril Smith and Calvin Pinder. They pioneered the way for names like Edison Deleveaux, Richard Russell, Richard Demeritte, Norman Gay, Amos Saunders, Baldwin Darling, Jeremy Knowles and Neil Dean.
Along the way, The Bahamas enjoyed a wonderful era during the 1960s when the country produced three world champions, Kingsley Poitier, Glen Wells and Tony Carroll. During that same period, Cliff Wilson and Arthur Eldon also excelled. It was a glorious decade for The Bahamas that cemented the nation as a formidable force in the sport.
All along, Wong was that venerable figure, basking in the glory of the achievers, just like a father proud of his sons. Even when he was no longer involved with the administration of the sport, giving way to Danny Sumner, Wong remained the revered patriarch. He continued to inspire the bodybuilding institution to meaningful milestone accomplishments. He never failed to use his many contacts around the world to benefit bodybuilding in The Bahamas.
As a result, generations of successful bodybuilders, although some didn't know Wong at all, owe him a great debt. He was truly the one who made the biggest difference for the bodybuilding movement in The Bahamas.
My condolences go out to the family, particularly his wife Lilla, devoted sister-in-law Ethlyn Thompson, sons Andrew, Paul, Peter, Gary, Dereck, Rodney and Linda. May the soul of Hubert Wong forever rest in peace!

Condolences pour in for Hubert Wong
Members of the bodybuilding fraternity in The Bahamas mourned the loss of Hubert 'The Grandfather' Wong yesterday. Prayerful condolences were sent to Wong's family from the Bahamas Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (BBFF) and the entire sporting community in the country. Wong was 84.
A tribute from Baldwin Darling Sr. on the passing of Hubert Wong
My wife and I would like to extend our heartful condolences to Mrs. Wong, their loving children, extended families and friends. We hope that the Lord would continue to bless each of them. When hearing the news that Hubert Wong had gone home to a much better place, my body suddenly became numb, because Wong was like a father to me. While he may never know this, he was just that and a very true friend, because I never had a father to talk to.
