Sydney Ambrose Reid
ON May 31 the Convent of Mercy Academy (Alpha) community and by extension the country’s education sector were plunged into mourning when news emerged that veteran teacher Sydney Ambrose Reid had been killed in a motor vehicle accident.
For decades, Reid had dedicated his life to the improvement of the lives of young Jamaicans through imparting vital knowledge, values, attitudes and life skills.
So on Friday, June 20, it was no surprise when hundreds of persons packed the pews of the Holy Trinity Cathedral at North Street in Kingston to pay their final respects to one of Jamaica’s most beloved teachers.
Life Tributes joins in celebrating the life of this modest but great son of Jamaica along with his loved ones, colleagues and students.
Rest well, Sydney Ambrose Reid.
