HORSE PATH, Tortola, VI- The family, friends and many in the business community are mourning the passing of prominent businessman and philanthropist Mr Alric Lenois Corea.

Mr Corea passed away at Dr D. Orlando Smith Hospital on March 3, 2023, after a long illness. He was 76 years old, having been born on February 24, 1947.

The late businessman was a native of St Vincent and the Grenadines, but came to the Virgin Islands (VI) as a young man, over 50 years ago.

His Legacy lives on

A renowned visionary, family person, businessman, Rotarian, and philanthropist, Mr Corea was the founder, owner, and Chief Executive Officer of Corea's Business and Cleaning Services.

The legacy of his business lives on, as his children just built a new Corea’s Business Headquarters- an impressive three-story building in Duffs Bottom- on the main island of Tortola.

The deceased, who started ZKING RADIO 100.9, the first Christian radio station in the VI, was married to the late Judith Titley Corea. 

He has left to mourn his 5 children, 12 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild, his siblings, and extended family in the VI and St Vincent.

      A great way to show is your reading and comprehension skills. If you read with the same speed you judge and make foolish blogs, maybe you wouldn't prove yourself to be such a fool

    Condolence to the family of Mr. Corea. May you be comforted as you mourn.

    On another note, and no reference to this case, but I'm sure it applies. As a person who works with the elderly, sick and shut-in citizens and residents, I'll be frank. Its so amazing how we show more love when a person dies and when they are alive nobody visits them or show them love and concern. Mamy times a little visit to our seniors would do alot to enhance their lives because they know someone loves them. More tributes when they dead from people who never even use to pick up the phone and say hello for years. Sad thing is, it seem natural. If all the people who are in front seats of these funeral could have been found visiting the sick, it would be ok. BVI people know how to put on a good show
