Reflections on a Life of Service
Dr. Drew recalled Phillip’s contributions, saying, "His mark on this nation will be written. It will never be forgotten because he had the opportunity to serve in this Parliament, given, of course, the permission by his people through an electoral process. In other words, they voted for him in the majority from Constituency Four to represent them in this Honourable House."
Minister of Sports et al. and Parliamentary Representative for St. Christopher Four, the Honourable Samal Duggins, expressed his sorrow, saying, "This is a very touching day because he wasn’t just a comrade, a past Member of Parliament for the constituency that I am now blessed to represent, but he was a personal friend."
Minister of Tourism et al., and Parliamentary Representative for St. Christopher Two, the Honourable Marsha Henderson, also extended condolences to Phillip’s family, friends, and well-wishers. She remarked on his character and his contributions, saying, "I can personally attest to the fact that he would have worked along with the good people in Central Basseterre particularly James ‘Barman’ Hanley and the Hitters Basketball Team. He would have given his time and service to the young men in the Central Basseterre Community by mentoring them not just through sports, but providing leadership, counselling and guidance for the young men and women, of course."
Conclusion
Glen "Ghost" Phillip’s life and legacy serve as a testament to the impact one person can have on their community.
