Celebrating the Life of a Great Jamaican
This blog pays tribute to Mr. Herb McKinley who died yesterday.

I had the privilege of meeting him a few years ago when he visited an exhibition put on by my organization. Even then, well past his running prime, the demeanour of this larger than life Jamaican turned many a heads as he moved through the exhibition. I won’t get into his accomplishments or stories of his conquests. I will add my condolences to his family and instead end with “Well done, good and faithful servant.” You have toiled well now enjoy the fruits of your labour. Rest in Peace.
nuff respect..ran a great race
Havin’ grown up hearin’ of him as a gold-medal legend, am echoin’ your sentiments totally. Well done, Mr. Mac.
My thoughts exactly. Well done Herb. I posted on this a while back.
He certainly did Jamaica proud in his youth and continued to make a valued contribution!
Merry Christmas & Happy 2008, Scratchie!
Big up to a legend and ambassador for Jamaica!!
