Dr Dale Arlington Bisnauth, who had served as a minister in successive PPP/C governments, died yesterday following a heart attack.
He was 76.
His daughter, Darlene Harris, told Stabroek News that his death came as quite a shock to the family, including her siblings overseas, who are having a hard time since they were unable to be here with him in his final days. She said that he was at church up to Sunday and was very involved in all the Easter activities.
The congregation of his church, the Guyana Presby-terian Church, is also at a loss, she added.
Bisnauth became Minister of Education in October of 1992, on the accession of the PPP/C to office and he held the portfolio until March 2001.
