Well-known Saint Lucia businessman Conrad Darius James, who, with his wife, launched the first Dr. Freezer’s ice cream parlour and fast food outlet on High Street, Castries, has died.<\/p>\n
A family member said James passed away suddenly Saturday at his Bonne Terre home.<\/p>\n
He was seventy-nine years old.<\/p>\n
James and his wife opened Dr. Freezer’s on High Street thirty-nine years ago after recognising there would be a demand\u00a0 among students because there were four schools in the vicinity at the time.<\/p>\n
A relative described the couple as hard workers and recalled that James was very family-oriented in addition to working hard.<\/p>\n
After the first Dr. Freezer’s outlet opened on High Street, the late businessman’s son, Darren James, would later open two additional outlets in the City.<\/p>\n

Conrad Darius James has left to mourn his wife, four children and six grandchildren among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
