Walter has another brother, Samuel Irad Ramsahoye who unfortunately passed away on May 15, 2020.

Unfortunately also, Sam's wife Chandra Ramsahoye passed away a bit earlier than Sam on April 19, 2020.

Sam and Chandra Ramsahoye lived in Brossard, Quebec when they relocated to Canada.

Samuel Ramsahoye was much much much older than me when we worked together in Guyana ... Sam as the Chief Hydropower Engineer, and I was the Specialist Hydropower Engineer.

Sam and I have met in Canada on a number of times in Brossard, Quebec and Edmonton, Alberta.

Condolence to the families.
