GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – Revered as a legendary broadcaster and veteran politician, Social Services, Broadcasting and Information Minister Obie Wilchcombe died leaving Grand Bahama, Bimini and the nation at large shaken by the sudden loss.
It was a solemn Monday morning in Grand Bahama as many residents gathered outside the Rand Memorial Hospital anxious to know if the news was true.
Sure enough, it was confirmed that long-time West Grand Bahama and Bimini MP Obie Wilchcombe had died. We spoke to several residents who say they did not see this coming.
The unexpected news sent shockwaves throughout Grand Bahama early Monday morning when many residents got calls that Wilchcombe was found unresponsive.
Many residents still grappling with the news of his passing, noting that they would have just seen him the night before when Wilchcombe addressed a PLP Women’s Branch Meeting in Grand Bahama.
Resident CC Campell and radio announcer, Derek Stubbs taking a moment to reflect on their fondest memories with the former veteran journalist.
And as condolences pour in, the one thing they all could agree on was Wilchcombe’s passion for helping people.
