** U P D A T E **
I only now got the chance to update here and I did some digging – apart from 2 e-mails I got, Anthony’s death was announced in the print edition of Nation newspaper from Thursday 27th Sept 2007 where they asked in lieu of flowers if donations to the Barbados Cancer Society can be made. I am still shocked! RIP dear half-cousin…
Here is e-mail #1;
I’m so sorry to tell u I saw your blog and yes it’s true. Anthony passed away Wed. 26 Sept with cancer. The Cariaccess web site is down for a whileThis is the second e-mail from a former schoolmate;
I am sad to say that it is true; Anthony left us for a better place at 12:noon on Tuesday.
Take care and keep up the good work
Perhaps I am clutching at straws, but two things – each e-mail had a conflicting date and there is no mention of his death on his website that is running again, unless it is like what Tupac Shakur quoted and Machiavelli wrote about – fake your demise to fool your enemies. I mean, God knows he offended C&W often enough, LOL! We resume now with original article…
I was outside RBTT in Hastings Plaza when a friend of my mother’s dropped a bombshell on me – Anthony Gunn is dead?
They claimed he was in Dominica, took ill all of a sudden and was rushed here to Barbados at Intensive Care and subsequently succumbed to cancer??
I find this rather stunning as Anthony and I used to e-mail each other often and he always was on the go about something – sailing, telecoms sector and/or his ongoing bugbear of Cable & Wireless…
Since I cannot hook up to the website of his company and I tried at least five times – If anyone can confirm or deny his passing please e-mail me via my contact at My Profile and do so ASAP, thanks!
