Trevor Boopsingh hailed, funeral Saturday
Trevor Boopsingh
Tributes keep pouring in for energy sector expert Trevor Michael Boopsingh who died of cancer earlier this week at the age of 66.
Boopsingh, a close friend of Prime Minister Patrick Manning who, reportedly, was offered the post of Energy Minister, was hailed by the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce as a “visionary”.
Boopsingh, a former Permanent Secretary in the Energy Ministry when Manning was Energy Minister, he was described as “an active member of the Chamber’s Energy sub-committee where he not only served with distinction but he also generously assisted the staff and management of the Chamber.
“He has left us with a great legacy and he will be sorely missed.”
The South Chamber described as a friend of the Chamber and a mentor to many people in the Energy Sector.”
He was also hailed by Petrotrin where he was the first chairman.
Boopsingh was a former lecturer at the University of the West Indies, an author, a director of Neal and Massy and acknowledged authority on the energy sector.
He was a cool, down to earth man, who could be found liming at Harvard Club on afternoon.
After a funeral service at the Fatima R.C. Church, Curepe, on Saturday morning, he will be cremated at the Belgrove Crematorium, Tacarigua.
Farewell, Trevor.
