Dear Editor,
When I called my former wife in London to let her know that David de Caires had passed away she immediately referred to his professionalism as an attorney-at-law, saying that when she lived in Guyana in the seventies only David and Miles Fitzpatrick struck her as persons of integrity, despite the plethora of lawyers at the time.

David is remembered for his integrity, generosity and for courage in the face of adversity.
No doubt by his example others in the field of journalism will strive for uncommon excellence in all that they do. My condolences to his family.  May his soul rest in peace.
Yours faithfully,
F. Hamley Case
