SCHOLAR, statesman, and distinguished attorney Hugh Hart lived a life which embodied the vision, journey, and heart of Jamaica, said Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange, who honoured Hart’s legacy during his memorial service on Wednesday.

“Today, we salute Hugh Cecil Edmund Hart, a giant of a man, with a gracious heart, who was willing to walk with the smallest of people and share with them the aspirations of a higher vision of themselves. Hugh Hart’s heart was Jamaica, and for that we salute him today,” said Grange.

Delivering her tribute for the late businessman and nation-builder at The University of the West Indies Chapel on Wednesday, Grange told bereaved family members and friends that Hart would live again, in spite of death, asserting that his impact and memory would grant him everlasting life.
