Trib­utes con­tin­ued to pour in yes­ter­day for An­tho­ny Beaubrun, one of the pi­o­neers of T&T's en­er­gy sec­tor, who died days be­fore his 83rd birth­day on June 26. He died at the Port-of-Spain Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal on June 15.

Among those left to mourn are his wife Pa­tri­cia, chil­dren Do­minic and Giselle, step­sons Shel­don and Fi­del, along with An­gelique, Luc, and Jean.

Beaubrun was de­scribed as "a com­mand­ing fig­ure who played a sub­stan­tial part in the his­to­ry of the Trinidad Union Club." As chair­man from 1982 to 1987 and pres­i­dent from 2006 to 2012, he was a reg­u­lar fig­ure at lunch where he would meet his fel­low club mem­bers on the long ta­ble to dis­cuss the im­por­tant mat­ters of the day (oc­ca­sion­al­ly in­clud­ing the state of the WI crick­et team).

Lin­da Hay­ton, hon­orary sec­re­tary, Trinidad Union Club re­called, "His good sense and sound ad­vice were al­ways ap­pre­ci­at­ed and he will be great­ly missed. The Trinidad Union Club sends its con­do­lences to his fam­i­ly."

Dur­ing his il­lus­tri­ous ca­reer, Beaubrun held board and ex­ec­u­tive po­si­tions at Petrotrin, the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny, and the for­mer Trin­toc and Trin­topec. He al­so served as the Pres­i­dent of the T&T Cham­ber of In­dus­try and Com­merce in 1990 and was pres­i­dent of the Trinidad Union Club. Beaubrun al­so served on the ANSA McAL Board for two decades.

Fu­ner­al arrange­ments are to be con­firmed by the Beaubrun fam­i­ly.
