Kenneth Joseph, the long-serving General Secretary of the National Association of Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Employees (NAACIE),  died yesterday at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation, where he was being treated for a stroke he suffered three weeks ago.

He was 65 years old.

His wife, Elizabeth, told Stabroek News that while Joseph had been hospitalised since February 1st, she was optimistic that he would have overcome his illness.

She remembered the father of six as a man that was always a “people’s person” and one who was passionate about his job. “He loved people and was a people’s person…,” the grieving widow said.
