The community of St. Cyr in the Kalinago Territory is mourning the loss of Nigel Ronald Sanford, who has died at the age of 60. Known affectionately to family and friends as Pumpy or Page, he was a familiar figure in his home village and across the Territory.
News of his passing was shared with profound sadness by those close to him, and tributes have begun to circulate among relatives, neighbours and friends in the Kalinago Territory and beyond. Sanford was 60 years old.
He is survived by his family and a wide circle of friends and community members who knew him by his childhood and community names, Pumpy and Page. Further details on funeral arrangements and the full list of surviving relatives were not immediately available.
The Kalinago Territory, on the east coast of Dominica, is home to the island's indigenous Kalinago people and is made up of a number of villages, including St. Cyr. Community life there is closely knit, and the loss of a resident is felt across the Territory.
Funeral and memorial details will be announced by the family in due course. Dominica 1 extends condolences to the family, friends and community of Nigel Ronald Sanford.
