How can I not remember Stewart?
A man that hath friends must show himself friendly, and Stewart was that friend that stuck closer than a brother.

At Christmas 1974 amidst the Industrial Relations impasse between the Bank and Staff Association, "Bill" Stewart stepped forward and hosted the Staff Association's 1974 Christmas Gathering at his Mt. D'Or home and it was a well attended and appreciated extravaganza. At that party they played Sparrow singing 'Ah Digging Horrors... Discontentment in the Central Bank.."
In the "old" Central Bank premises, one of the daily feature lunch-time Table Tennis matches on the mezzanine was Stewart vs Barrington (Barry).
He always looked forward to his daily post-lunch walks through POS in the company of Hollis De Four and Chris "critical" Lewis.
Now that he walks that trail no more I wish him Eternal Salvation and comfort to his loved ones.

"If you love live, just as Wayne do, put something, put something in de air"
Denis 'Lasana' Cox; 13 April 2022.
On the right, with pounds of mischief, we have the affable and unabashed Irvid 'Sonny' Maughn. The Maughn's way of working, recounting stories, telling jokes or celebrating and having a good time made him one of the natural chantwells in the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago.
To be regaled with one of The Maughn's colourful tales of an interaction between members of the bank's staff was akin to being in the presence of a master wordsmith. Imagery, details and running commentary were the tools of this chantwell. The Maughn brought a unique vibrancy to our lives. Well is he remembered!

"Another Brother gone to rest.
His humble and peaceful disposition will stay in my memory of "The Maughn".
R.I.P. My Brother."

Jonathan Jones (JJ) first job in the Central Bank was as the correspondence clerk. One morning the bank received an exceptional amount of mail. JJ's desk was covered with mail. All mail to be processed and delivered on the day it was received. No leaving some for tomorrow.
Armed with his letter opener, JJ tackled the mountain of mail, casting cursory glances at the names of the addressees.
In the onslaught, JJ opened a letter addressed to Victor E. Bruce, Governor of the Central Bank.
JJ was removed from the correspondence desk in the afternoon of that same day.
That was the first of the many JJ moves.
He was part of the founding committee of the Central Bank Sports and Cultural Club. Constructively and strongly critical of a lot of the proposals put forward. He said he disagreed and he said why he disagreed.
Importantly, his reason(s) were not rooted in emotions. His reasons were rational, original and always worthy of consideration. Driven as they were towards achieving success in the project(s) being undertaken.
JJ proudly and competitively represented the Bank at home and abroad in football and basketball, earning the grudging respect of his opponents.
It is noted that the manager/coach assessed the state of play then decided to call JJ off the field. Jonathan Jones leaves the field to a standing ovation and appreciation of a life well lived.
Well will he be remembered.
