Lieutenant Governor Gregory R. Francis today expressed his condolences to former First Lady Luz Luis and the extended circle of family and friends who mourn the sudden passing of former Governor Juan F. Luis.

“Governor Luis was well loved by the people of this territory.  He will be remembered for assuming the mantle of leadership upon the sudden and tragic loss of Governor Cyril E. King and for inspiring more of our Hispanic community to become involved in the Virgin Islands’ political arena,” said Lt. Governor Francis.  “I especially admire that throughout his terms as Governor and since leaving public office, he remained humble and a true man of the people.  He will be missed.”
