The late Ralph Francis wasn’t one to settle for easy tasks or the mundane. As one of Antigua and Barbuda’s most prominent attorneys, those close to him both personally and professionally said he loved a good challenge.
Many people who knew him well said, throughout life, he lived with gusto, turning the ordinary into the memorable.
“Not only an avid golf player but also very competitive every time we hit the pool tables around Antigua…and Monserrat. Disorganised, opinionated, very funny and stubborn as a mule. I will for sure miss my many political conversations with him,” his friend and former client, Sira Berzas, told Observer yesterday.

“A treasured member of our team” is how the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) is remembering Rhea Jarvis who on Sunday became the fifth person in the country lost to Covid-19.
A statement issued by the ABFA last night described the 46-year-old healthcare worker from Pigotts as a “loyal servant of the game for two decades”.
Over the years, Jarvis served as manager of the boys’ and girls’ national teams. She was also the local course organiser for the ABFA, Concacaf and FIFA, and a Caribbean Football Union and ABFA match coordinator. She was appointed to the Concacaf 2020 list of coordinators.
