Veteran radio personality passes on Ferrand “Randy D” Dopwell. Social Share St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) has lost one of its veteran radio personalities in the person of Ferrand “Randy D” Dopwell. The Rockies resident passed away at his home at around 11:10 p.m. on Thursday, January 14. Dopwell, with his unique voice can be considered one of the pioneers of radio in SVG, having begun his career in 1977 at Radio 705, the lone radio station at that time. Dopwell migrated to New York in 1971, with the sole aim of attending business school. Speaking at an awards ceremony in 2017, Dopwell said while attending business school, all he knew about radio then was “the fascination that a man can be somewhere in the world, and you can listen to what he is saying, via radio.”
