Louis Sylvestre

Former P.U.P. minister, Louis “Coz” Sylvestre, passed last Thursday after ailing for years. A memorial service will be held this coming Friday; and today, while acknowledging his contributions, the People’s United expressed profound sadness at his passing.  Says the P.U.P. release, “Sylvestre served as a P.U.P. Representative in Rural Belize from 1957 to 1984 under the leadership of the Right Honorable George Price. During that period he served in different capacities as a Member of the Cabinet. Louis was a humble, “people’s man”, whose contributions to politics and development in Belize will not be forgotten.”
