Henry Young Shepherd

Henry Young Shepherd was born in 1858 in Barbados and studied at Codrington College.  He had an unbroken service at the Cathedral for 66 years. He was Dean from 1906 - 1930.  He was still giving regular assitence at Services until his death in 1947. 

The Chief Diocesan Missioner commented in 1928 that while Archbishop Hutson was most respected, Dean Shepherd was most loved.  Bishop Hand was to later write about him, "With the heart of a child he goes in and out among us, full of vigour, radiating love and sympathy, bringing brightness and sunshine into the lives of those among whom he dwells."

It is amazing that a man who had given so much, would continue to give after losing his sons, even to the end of his days.  To God be the Glory.
