Keith ""Rabai" Weekes went home. RIP

[Deeks]

I was told Keith "Rabai" Weekes died Tuesday past. I don't know the cause of his passing as yet. Rabai  with  Derek Lewis were the younger players on our 74 youth team. He was from Curepe. Lived right next to Planet cinema. We practically lived in the St. Joseph savannah. he went st. Joseph RC like myself. We played in the St Joseph CYO league. We had a team called Chelsea. His team was Rangers. Chelsea-Rangers clash in the St. Joseph savannah on a Sat. morning was like Celtic-Rangers Old firm clash. He was a lefty, a bit slow but was a very good passer of the ball. We both clash in the collegse league when Tranquil met QRC in some memorable intercol games at Fatima ground. We had a great time in Toronto 74 on the TT youth squad in the Concacaf tournament.  Keith is the 2nd player from that squad to have passed. the other is Winty Hackett. Also Arnold "Chicken" Leotaud, Roderick Warner and Egbert Solomon, the officials on that squad have passed also. May they all find friendship in the other home. RIP. God Bless.

Nice tribute Deeks.  Tall with a languid playing style, he was a critical component of the great tranquil squad in the 70's led by "Tom" Phillip
