Here’s a statement from
“I am indeed saddened tonight to learn of the passing of party stalwart, friend and former Member of Parliament for the constituency I now represent,
Leroy Laurisford Sisnett, at the age of 79.
“Leroy was indeed a national personality, with a voice that for decades was synonymous with the very best of Bajan radio and the title, “
Sweet Boy Leroy“, that went with him from the roads and villages of St Michael North East to the august chamber of the House of Assembly.
“Leroy, at the age of 35, was among the corps of young Barbados Labour Party candidates who rode the victorious political wave with JMGM ‘Tom’ Adams to defeat Errol Barrow and the Democratic Labour Party in 1976. He successfully defended that seat in the 1981 General Election but lost five years later. During the Adams Administration he served as Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism.
