Herbie Panton Laid To Rest

The memorial service for UDP Stalwart Hebert Panton was held this afternoon at the House of Culture.

Panton was the husband of UDP Albert Area Rep and candidate for party leader Tracy Taegar Panton. He died suddenly last Wednesday at the age of 50.

Panton was an attorney and former magistrate - but he was also a celebrated figure in the UDP, a bon-vivant, and the hardest of the die hards.

Today at his memorial he was remembered with humor:

Panton's wife, Tracy, has indicated to colleagues in her party that she still intends to run for party leader. No decision has been taken on whether the March 27th date for the convention will be pushed back.
