Donric “Master Funny” Williamson, 84, has died. The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation (TUCO) made the announcement in a social media post on July 31. He died from cancer.

Former National Carnival Commission (NCC) chair and calypsonian Winston “Gypsy” Peters said he had lost a close friend and someone he called a brother.

In a phone interview on July 31, Gypsy said, “I have lost a friend, a personal friend of more than 55 years. This country has lost one of their greatest humorous minds.”
