Family mourns for ‘Tony’

“I WOULD GI he a lash!”

Those were the emotive words of 80-year-old Cecily Denny, who journeyed to the old jetty at Crane Beach, St Philip yesterday morning to see first-hand where her third born, Anthony, fell to his death at the tail-end of a fishing trip in the wee hours of Friday morning.

Clearly grieving from her son’s demise, she was hurt that Anthony, who grew up close to the beach in Deacons, St Michael and never frequented the sea, developed the habit in the latter years of his life, learnt to swim and recently took up fishing.

“I ain’t know why he come up here to fish, anyhow!” Denny lamented. It was her way of suggesting that if he was home, he would be alive today.
