EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK
If ever there were a man who
gave of his best, then surely you
are that man
If ever a man were respected
by his peers, then surely that man
is you
Your drive inspired our
courage
And taught us never to quit
Your voice inspired sweet
laughter
We never grew weary of your
wit
We cherish your contribution
to the region, more than bars of
gold
And your wisdom and vision –
more than earth’s riches untold
We will not let your legacy
wither
Like a flower stripped of its
hue
For we will always and forever
consider
All that you did, and will
continue to do.
Tribute to the Honourable Sir K Dwight Venner
Governor - ECCB: December 1989 to November 2015
