Family sources have confirmed the death this evening of veteran journalist, Clarence Roy-Macauley. After a long career spanning generations, he last worked for the Associated Press. Personally I’ve never seen a journalist as meticulous as Clarence. We collaborated a lot. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Clarence’s passing. I recall several conversations where he shared his insight and experience. He was a helpful, enlightened and good soul. I trust he will rest well. A good long life lived.

Very shocking, having been sending greetings to him up to yesterday.

I just called his contact and was answered by his daughter, Clarice, who confirmed that he died today at 5 pm. His wife, a former senior civil servant also died about two years ago.

RIP big brother Clarence.

Deeply saddened by the news of the death of Clarence Roy Macauley. My sympathy to his family and to us all as his colleagues.

My last remembered contact with Clarence was many many years ago when he was Press Officer at State House. We had of course worked together over many years but this time I waspleading with the then President for the release of BBC correspondent Dwight Neale. I have always valued Clarence and remembered his swift action in getting through to the children and myself that the President had agreed to his release, not just Dwight but all others detained at that time.

Clarence was a consummate, prolific searcher after the truth and even though we were going through some pretty difficult times, he was constant, diligent, and faithful to his calling.

The death of so many journalists in the past few years is a reminder that we should keep in touch that is why this veteran’s forum is so important, not always easy to read, but important. It’s been said that the role and duty of a journalist is to, “Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” So as we comfort Clarence’s family and other colleagues’ families, let us give thanks for lives well lived, and let’s continue doing our job, going after the bad guys!!!

Sir Roy was indeed a hard-working professional and a gentleman by all accounts. He was for a brief while my boss, while he headed our News & Current Affairs at SLBS decades ago and demonstrated exceptional equanimity in the face of irritating challenges. I remember him for his thoroughness in journalistic reports. It’s a pity I never said this to him – but I always quietly admired his courage and courtesy after retirement from the public service, in seeking news sources and clarifications, especially while I was at Parliament. Sir Roy exuded such confidence and demonstrated true ability as a professional Journalist. He prolificacy must have produced tons of news reports on a variety of hard news. His life and career should serve as an inspiration to us all, especially our younger ones in the profession of Journalism. Adieu, Sir Roy!
