He was a fierce proponent of free and fair elections (FFE) in Guyana.
Depoo, a Miss Phoebe native, migrated with his family to the US in the mid 1970s, qualified as a lawyer, worked with the US State Department, and later made Trinidad his home.
He made Trinidad his home for a further 20 years before deciding to settle in Guyana earlier this year.
After the Mingo fraud, Depoo spearheaded a signature campaign calling on the US State Department to take actions against those who were involved in the electoral fraud.
He was very active among the Guyanese diaspora in Trinidad where I met him at public events related to Guyana.
