“Anthony Joseph worked with Amalgamated Security Services for 36 years but more than that, he was a grandfather, a father, and a friend who became family.” That’s how Edgar Aboud, Director of Amalgamated Security Services Limited, described fallen Amalgamated Estate Corporal Anthony Joseph, who died in the line of duty in December.
Joseph was part of the Rapid Response team that confronted intruders at a Vigilance business customer’s premises in Sea Lots and was fatally wounded during the encounter. To honour Joseph’s longstanding service and his commitment and dedication to his job, blink l bmobile gave a financial endowment in Joseph’s name to the Foundation for the Enhancement and Enrichment of Life (FEEL) – a non-profit organisation (NGO) founded by former Fatima College School principal, Clive Pantin, 24 years ago.
The donation will go specifically to the NGO’s Medical Outreach Programme. The cheque hand-over took place at FEEL’s warehouse, Fernandes Industrial Centre, Laventille, on February 29, in the presence of some of Joseph’s colleagues, TSTT representatives, as well as FEEL’s Chief Executive Officer, Elena Villafana – Sylvester.
“Anthony’s death hit the company hard. He has been with us for so many years he really became family. He was a part of the first response team for Amalgamated and he touched
everyone – from clients to employees – and it’s still difficult to come to terms with his death,” Aboud said.
Aboud, who was in high praise of blink l bmobile for honouring Joseph’s legacy in such a “human” way, said the gesture shows that the telecommunications Company really cares about the people they serve.
“This is testimony to the fact that blink l bmobile is a Company that goes above and beyond and for that we thank them, wholeheartedly. They didn’t have to do this but they did and that says a lot.”
