Deputy Chief Justice Sir Gibbs Salika said this when giving his tribute on behalf of the judiciary at the thanksgiving mass yesterday (May 24).
He described the late judge as a fearless lawyer in his early years of practise prior to his appointment to the bench.
He thanked the immediate family of the late judge and the people of Madang for giving a son who became a very talented lawyer and judge and for sharing him with the rest of Papua New Guinea.
“He died at a very early age. 52 years old and to die, is too young,” Sir Gibbs said.
