Surveyor and former Chairman of the Elections Commission, Edward Garnett Hopkinson has passed away at the age of 90.
Hopkinson, a former Chief Inspector of Mines, was the Chair of the Commission for the 1994 local government elections.
His daughter Carrie Hopkinson yesterday told Stabroek News that her father was a selfless man as she recalled one of his most precious moments as being the winner of an orchid competition.
Hopkinson had been married for 60 years to Colleen Hopkinson.
His daughter said that aside from minor aches, Hopkinson did not suffer from any illness.
