Premier David Burt today remembered the late Mr. Randolph Hayward Esq. who passed away on Sunday, June 26th aged 98. “Mr. Hayward lived a long and incredible life. He was a proud veteran of the 1st Battalion, Caribbean Regiment, Bermuda Contingent and saw war service in Italy and North Africa. I recall visiting with him and enjoying the wisdom and wise counsel he shared. Mr. Hayward and St. Paul AME Church were inextricably linked, and he remained a committed and faithful member until the end of his life. This stalwart of the Pembroke community retired from HM Customs after 29 years’ service and has left a dignified legacy of community involvement and support of young people and education. On behalf of the Government of Bermuda, I express condolences to his family as they remember the life of this man of distinction.”
