Former Chairman of Region Three and contractor Fazeel Rayman, 84, who survived a fire that destroyed his house and several businesses at Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara, three months ago, passed away on Monday. 

After the fire, Rayman was taken to the Demerara Paradise Inc., a retirement home at Le Ressouvenir, East Coast Demerara, where he died. 

His eldest son, Abdool Safdar Rayman, told Stabroek News that at time, his father was diabetic and was also suffering from dementia.  In the prime of his life, he was the “first regional chairman when the region system was formed.”
