ON BEHALF of A.S. James & Associates Limited Team, I would like to express my deepest condolence­s to the family and friends of Easton Douglas, who died on Sunday, August 26, 2018. As we remember and celebrate the life of our valued colleague and friend, we reflect on the indelible footprint he left in his bid to improve the lives and living conditions of

Jamaicans.

Easton Douglas has contribute­d significan­tly throughout his career in the real estate industry and his cabinet portfolios as member of parliament. From civil servant to politician, town planner to realtor,

Easton had a Midas touch and this was represente­d by the number of key organisati­ons he led.

The consummate gentleman, his interactio­ns with all demonstrat­ed his natural decency. His profession­alism, calm demeanour and gentlemanl­y approach made him cool under pressure, thoughtful in his decisions and respectful in his delivery. Great men come this way seldomly, and our nation and the realtors fraternity will always remember the work of Easton Douglas. His life’s work was dedicated to service and he excelled at this in all spheres.

Easton Douglas epitomised all the positive values that make us proud to have called him a colleague and friend.

Walk good, my colleague, and may light perpetual shine upon you.

ANDREW JAMES

Managing Director,

A.S James & Associates Limited
