Roach remembered for shaping lives beyond business

Olympic javelin cham­pi­on Keshorn Wal­cott fought back tears yes­ter­day as he re­mem­bered Sean Roach, the busi­ness­man and ath­lete man­ag­er who helped trans­form his life, de­scrib­ing him as the broth­er who shaped the per­son he has be­come.

Wal­cott was among mourn­ers at an emo­tion­al in­ter­faith fu­ner­al ser­vice for Roach at Hi­malaya Club in San Juan.

Roach, 50, died on Oc­to­ber 5. He was the for­mer chair­man of Telecom­mu­ni­ca­tions Ser­vices of Trinidad and To­ba­go (TSTT) and chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of Langston Roach In­dus­tries Ltd.
