The Jamaica Chamber of Commerce (JCC) has joined growing tributes in the wake of businessman R. Danny Williams’ death.

The JCC, in a statement today (September 17), offered condolences to his family and wider community that was blessed to call him friend, ally or mentor.

“Danny was the quintessential trailblazer in the post-independence era of Jamaica. The fact that he was able to successfully mobilise his ideas as an entrepreneur and eventual business mogul and then  also serve with distinction in the public sector as a minister of government underscores the rare qualities and drive possessed by this great Jamaican icon,” the organisation noted.

“May he rest in peace,” the JCC added.
