How the employees cope with the loss depends on
many factors, from their personal beliefs to the presence of other stress in
their lives. For some employees, thoughts of the deceased may make it hard to
focus on work for a while. Others may find it difficult to get back on track,
resulting in mistakes that can disrupt the company's functioning.
This may very well be the effects on the staff
after hearing the tragic end of the life to one of CIE Ltd longest serving
employees - Joseph Herman aka Percy - he was stabbed on Jeremie Street on Old
Year’s night and succumbed on New Year’s day. He was 45 years old.
It’s hard to know someone without actually meeting
him. However, a good story about an individual enables the listener to have
insight into that person. After listening to Simon Straughn's emotional phone
call about his friend Percy, I felt like I knew Percy on a personal level.
Back then.... Back row: Yellow, Simon Percy. Front Row: Mr Gajadhar |
The near tearful friend recalls the times with
Percy when they used to go to parties, sharing whatever they had, working long
hours with friends like Chicken, Yellow, and Horace, to mention a few, and were
all humbled by his kindness and compassion to everyone around him. According to Simon, the company's employees intend to fly black flags on their vehicles and equipment to show their respects.
Mr Gajadhar, on behalf of his company, extends sincere condolences to Percy's friends and the family. Percy was a remarkable man and everyone at CIE
Ltd is better for having known him. He will be greatly missed and everyone
here is saddened by his death. Our thoughts and prayers are with Percy's
family and friends during this difficult time.
Percy leaves behind two daughters, 11 and 22 years old, a 5 year old son, who celebrated his birthday yesterday, and his common law lady.
Farewell,Percy!!!!!!
