THE Bahamas Olympic Committee is saddened at the loss of a great man and athlete, Sir Godfrey Kelly.

Sir Godfrey was content to lead a peaceful and quiet life. He was not one to seek the spotlight.

However, his character and his actions commanded the attention and respect of us all.

He represented our country with distinction at four summer Olympic Games – 1960, 1964, 1968, and 1972. Throughout his life, he was a supporter of fellow countrymen and a shining example to us as well.

We pause to pay tribute to the dignified life of Sir Godfrey Kelly. His memory will always inspire us. May he rest in peace.
