CHARLES OLIVIER: Was my childhood friend who through the years, stayed very close to my family, though we both had relocated to other parts of the world. Since this taping at the end of my very first season of this podcast idea in 2020, Charles passed from health issues in the fall of 2021. It is wonderful to listen to his accolades from people near and dear to him, with his composition playing in the background. Leaving the banking industry, we hear about his love for his country of Trinidad and the entire West Indian basin, his love of soca music, singing, steelpan music, being a manager and farming. Who knew? We feel his love of friendship, considerate, positive and generous heart, and deep love of him by his friends and family. My family and I are ever grateful for his ever presence in our lives to the end. Forever in our hearts CHARLO!
