Two days before the godfather of Barbadian entertainment Richard Stoute will be laid to rest, family, friends, and former participants in his teen talent competition were among the scores of people who showed up to pay their respects as he lay in repose at the Empire Club in Bank Hall. There was a mix of tears, laughter, and applause as the occasion was used to pay tribute to him in song and word today. Here, grandsons Jason and Jermaine Mounter look lovingly at a man whom many others said was like a father to them.
