I remember my uncle well...a lovely man he was. We as children will remember the joys of riding with him in his car through the settlement...his kindness, gentle spirit and generosity will always be remembered.....sleep on until that resurrection morning

Words could not express the man we call Daddy, His impeccable love for us and our Mother is more than words can speak. A man of love, truth and integrity. A man after Gods heart. We could not have required of God a better father. His humility speaks the language of love. Daddy you will be forever missed and not forgotten. Your love has been set inside of all your children and passed on to your grand children. Icarry your teaching always within me and quote your words as often as i can. You love for youself, family and God has not gone unnoticed. RIP my dear loving Dad. God hath called you to a greater glory. Love always your son Ligh.

My dad was the greatest that ever lived. A honest God fearing man that brought his children up in the fear of God. Dad even though you are gone, the life instructions you have given me still lingers. You were all that a little girl ever looked for in a dad. I thank God for giving you to us and I am sure my siblings would agree that even though you are gone.....you will forever linger in our hearts.

Daddy was a Father who worked very hard for all of his children. He moved away from his hometown to work on the Contract and in Nassau on the construction field. He made sure that we were taken care off in Long Island. Yes maybe he didn't gave us all he wanted to give, but whatsoever he was able to give was full of LOVE straight from his heart. We missed you Daddy and may your soul R.I.P.

To the man that will forever hold my heart, the man who taught me so much life lessons, the long morning walks to go fishing, teaching me how to cut bait and fish, holding the flambeau at nights while he struck the lobsters with the grains, hunting wild sheep, going into the farms, picking grapes, digging sweet potatoes in the bank, Teaching me and and Mo how to grind the corn for grits, mixing concrete, beating rocks, catching crabs…….the list is too long, but the most important was leading me to Christ. I wrote this with tears in my eyes and yes a broken heart but with great hope in knowing that he’s in a better place. Happy 100 birthday dad and I’m still your baby girl ❤️
