Funeral for athletics analyst Hubert Lawrence underway
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica – The funeral service for internationally recognised track and field analyst Hubert Lawrence is now underway at the St Jago Cathedral in Spanish Town, St Catherine.
Lawrence died at his home in St Catherine on February 23. He was 63 years old.
He will be interred at the Meadowrest Memorial Gardens in Spanish Town.
Lawrence started collecting and analysing track and field data in 1980 and got his first opportunity in media with the now defunct Jamaica Record in the late 1980s.
He would go on to work for several local and regional media organisations such as Caribbean Media Corporation and the RJRGLEANER Group, developing a reputation over the years as the authority and most commanding voice in local athletics statistics and analysis.
