Veteran Government Engineer Walter Willis, the technical mind involved in works like the Providence National Stadium and the now renamed Arthur Chung Convention Centre, passed away at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital last evening. He was 66.

Willis, who suffered a brief bout of illness, was rushed to the hospital on Saturday last, complaining of stomach pains. He was subsequently placed on life support, where he died surrounded by family.  Willis befuddled the nation and his workplace, the Ministry of Public Infrastructure, in his final hours. The Ministry Monday released a statement announcing his death, only for it to be revealed that Willis still clung to life.(Kaieteurnews.com/photo: kaieteurnews.com)…[+]
