Local businessman Glenn Industrious passes
Mr Industrious, 67, the proprietor of Industrious and Son Plumbing Services Limited, died on December 30, 2017, the day he and his wife Bertha were celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary.
As word circulated of his passing, many in the territory expressed shock and sadness but credited him for being a man of “name and nature.”
"My cousin carried a name by action and nature. He was a man always on the go. He loved plumbing and spent almost every day doing what he loved the most," a close relative stated.
Tough time
According to the relative, Mr Industrious did not suffer long as she explained that while he was hypertensive he was not "sick" as such.
"It is very hard for my aunt (his wife) at this time. Can you imagine preparing your mind to be celebrating with your husband of 17 years for him to complain of having chest pains and then dying the same day? That's the hardest hit for a wife much less other loved ones who had special plans for them."
"We did all we could until the ambulance came but he didn't make it…by the time we got to the hospital he was gone. This is a very sad time for our family and while we know many would wish to personally offer condolences to my aunt (his wife), please let us allow her to come to grips with this because he didn't only not make it to 2018, he didn't only leave many jobs undone, he didn't only leave us in pain but he also left in pain on the day he was looking forwarding to having a day of celebration with the wonderful woman he was married to for 17 years and who he knew many years prior to getting married."
The Staff, Management and Board of Directors of Virgin Islands News Online express our sincere condolences to the immediate family and other loved ones on the passing of Mr Glenn Industrious.
