“The passing of Obediah Hercules Wilchcombe shocks Bahamian Community.”

OBEDIAH was a good looker and the kind who would put Adonis to shame. It makes you feel a bit sleazy but if he was fine we can’t hide from that “fine is fine”. He would set the record straight. The kind of guy who you feel uncomfortable around your girl. Yea, you have to watch with binoculars, else you would lose big time. Very rarely do you find beauty and brains in a package deal. Good looking, intelligent, excellent personality and upfront in all his doings.

I guess we can give favourable on behalf of my brothers and sister; he is in a better place and may God accept him, into his bosom and grant him peace. Wilchcombe, the west Grand Bahama and Bimini MP, was the minister of social services, information and Broadcasting Corporation of the Bahamas. These merged and came under his portfolio.

I concur with opposition leader Hon Michael Pintard that Wilchcombe was an excellent “embodiment of professionalism.”

In other words, he went the extra mile then some and more. It was not all lost because he touched many lives and was extremely exemplary in all he did, especially amongst his colleagues and those he came into contact with.

May his soul rest in Eternal Peace.
