I am deeply saddened to hear about Redmond’s passing away. Although he had been ill, it still came as a shock. It is a testament to his life, however, that so many of us feel it as a personal blow. His unwavering commitment to justice gave many, many people, including myself, hope – not just on the issue of Venezuela, but on a whole range of issues. He embodied the meaning of solidarity.
My sympathies and condolences go out to all his loved ones, family and friends. Please take some solace that his contribution has touched the lives of thousands of people, and in so doing, his humanity still lives on…
