Daryll Jordan’s love for his students, community and family will not be forgotten anytime soon.
That was brought out yesterday at All Saints Anglican Church in St Peter, where the 86-year-old former educator was laid to rest.
Jordan was the first principal of the St Lucy Secondary School, which was later renamed in his honour. He was also a founding member of the Barbados Association of Principals of Public Secondary Schools, as well as a long-serving member of All Saints Church.
Member of Parliament for St Peter Colin Jordan, retired principal Jeff Broomes, and numerous past students were in attendance to pay their final respects to Jordan. Some, wearing the school tie, stood on the outskirts of the church and were overheard retelling stories of how the revered principal helped shape their time at St Lucy Secondary. (TG)

Emergency teams will soon be able to respond to crises much faster, says Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams.
He said that time reduction would be possible once the amalgamated headquarters of the Barbados Fire Service and Ambulance Service was completed.
Although he was unable to give a completion date or announce how much the project would cost, Abrahams said the facility would be built at Prince Road.
“In the very near future, a new Fire Service Headquarters complex will be constructed at Prince Road, St Michael. This complex is expected to house the Barbados Fire Station, the Barbados Fire and Code Enforcement Unit, the Fire Service administration headquarters and the Emergency Ambulance Service.
