May you continue to uplift us in your thoughts and prayers, as we celebrate the many memories that we have made with him.

Much has and will be said and written about Everson Elcock. I was blessed to serve as his parish priest when I was the Rector of St. Augustine’s Church for 2 short years. This gracious husband of a charming wife and two wonderful sons was a faithful member of our community with a generous heart, so big, that it had room, not only for us, but for the entire nation.

Everson’s and Maureen’s home was always a welcoming space. His conversations inspired and encouraged. My ministry has been enriched by his support and for that I remain eternally grateful.

Lucy and I extend our condolences and assurance of our prayers to Maureen, Antonio, Adrian, and his entire family circle. May he rest in God’s eternal peace.

Sentiments Of Appreciation For The Late Everson Elcock

While I was growing up in St. George, the name Everson Elcock was very highly respected for being a productive, industrious and Christian gentleman. He was generally admired by all in this society for his vision in establishing one of the successful black family businesses even before our own independence. This was very commendable, since it occurred at a time when few ordinary people owned anything of significance in Barbados.

He was an excellent business executive who learnt the skills of management through hard work, fairness and honesty. Everson never left a task undone and educated himself in the skills of negotiation which were also admired by his strongest adversaries.

Despite his business-like manner, he was a benevolent donor to his community, the Church, the Lion’s Club of Barbados and to the poor. It was his Company that first erected lights in the trees at the Glebe in 1995. In addition, as his Parliamentary Representative for over twenty-five (25) years, he gave generously to the many social programmes we executed annually.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to his wife Maureen, his sons Adrian and Tony and the entire Elcock clan, on the passing of this ‘Gentle Giant’, who has left a legacy and template for all those who want to succeed.
