DIANE PHILLIPS: Rising to support brothers in need

ON Friday, December 16, the story of brotherly love was the subject of this column. It was the story of two brothers named Lorenzo and Devon Knowles, Long Islanders who came to Nassau to work 15 years ago and for most of those years worked through, or in some connection with, the late Sir Durward Knowles, the first eight years at Queen’s College, later at Montagu Gardens restaurant until it closed. They often worked multiple jobs. After Sir Durward died, they scraped by doing odd jobs, looking after a parking lot, washing dishes at other restaurants, cobbling together a few dollars daily to feed themselves, sometimes going hungry, always faithful to church and Bible study, even when they walked in the rain to get there.
