The Sports Writers Association of Liberia (SWAL) has identified with the management of The News newspaper following the death of Bobby Tapson, who was a member of SWAL.

  Last week, the President of SWAL, Hilary Justine Colnoe signed the book of condolence at the offices of The News on behalf of SWAL.

  Mr. Colnoe subsequently explained that he was at The News to identify with the newspaper’s management and staff to extend the deepest sympathy of SWAL for the loss of Tapson.

  The SWAL President described the deceased as a devoted member of the association and one that was willing to make a little contribution for the upliftment of SWAL.

  “It is an irreparable loss and we as officials of SWAL are in prayers with the bereaved family and The News that the Almighty God will comfort them in this time of bereavement,” he stated.

  Mr. Colnoe added, “It is our fervent hope that promising journalists will emulate the good examples of the late Tapson.”

  He noted that Tapson was discipline and professional colleague at all times during his earthly sojourn.

  “We as SWAL will miss him and hope that life perpetual will shine,” the President of SWAL concluded.
