Dearest Uncle George,
The stories told by your siblings Ola, Ethel and Samuel are nostalgically entertaining ... from childhood shenanigans to adult wisdom, one constant is the familial bond. As the oldest sibling you set the standard high and your siblings followed suit.

That same legacy of light and love continues to manifest though Beatrice and David, Shelly, Tamia, Ray ... the list continues. You were loved in life and still loved in eternal rest.

As I read these words of love and wisdom of those who loved you, I TRULY understand why. You were a special man of GOD and father. Examplifying the true meaning of what fatherhood is. My family will always cherish the memories of you and your wife "B", your hospitality and the many laughs we shared together. I loved you both in a very special way. Your nephew FIF.

Hey Dad, it's taken me a minute to share openly how much I miss you and mom. Your words rings true. When asked what would I do if you and mom went on to glory before me. You said I would do what I was taught to do carry on. Every day I open my eyes I try to do that. Some days are harder then others. I try be the daughter you and mom raised me to be. When I stumble I remember the examples I witnessed you and mom displayed. your allegiance to faith, family and charity. My love for you both grows stronger even in absent of physical presence. My heart continues to ache but the tears flow a little less as I realize how wonderfully blessed to have you both as parents. I am abundantly blessed by that gift from God and I know you and mom are dancing and singing in heaven for a life well lived. Thank you love you forever!

Words can not express how much I miss you. I still talk to you often, I know you hear me, because I feel at peace after our talks. I wish I could see you, and reach out and hug you. Just being in your presence I felt secure. They sure don't make them like you anymore. I know for a fact you and your rib mate my other Angel my Big Mama are having a blast....love you forever and always, your eldest Granddaughter.

Daddy law as I used to call him said that I would always be his son in law, no matter what. I remember the long talks we used to have talking on politics to religion and relationships. He talked about his working years and how he provided for his family and he never had to beg for anything in his life. He always stayed the same no matter what others were going through. He loved his wife and family. He will be truly missed.

Paw Paw, words cannot express how much I love and miss you. By your example, you showed me how a man is supposed to love a woman. You taught me that it is perfectly fine for me to stand up in my own greatness, and that I never have to become smaller so someone else can feel large. You showed me how silence is golden and that family is the most important thing in this world. Thank you for your example and your wisdom, your diligence and your strength. Rest in paradise...until we meet in heaven. I love you deeply and selfishly.

My Dad, the Smartest Man I Know

December 20, 2019
by Beatrice Jokines
Wow, so amazing to know what you come from. My Dad only had achieved a 3rd grade classroom education, however he was the Smartest Man I know. I've been in the present of individuals with titles so long it takes up a couple of paragraphs to list all of their formal education. My father like many of his generation especially those anointed with faith from their parents and surrounding communities learned early to think on their feet and figure out what they needed to do to take care of themselves and their family. The adults in their life had serious daily life and death issues to deal with and didn't have the luxury of coddling their offspring.

My father as the eldest took his responsibility seriously as his siblings will tell you. I didn't know until late in life just how much of a sense of humor he had. It just makes my heart jump with joy to see him laugh and joke. As I view a lot of his photos he has a stern look. But he had such a love of family and wanting to see everyone do well, when that wasn't the case you could see the pain in his eyes. 

I miss him everyday, but grow strong in making sure he and my mom are remembered for the remarkable, kind, loving parents they were. Actually let me correct that to are, as their legacy lives on in the many people they have touched.

Yes my Dad, the Smartest Man know! Made a way out nothing but his sheer determination to make it and supported and helped others along the way,never turning anyone away. Letting his offspring know "you can make it if you try, don't matter your starting point".

Thanks Daddy!

Strength. That is what you represented to me as a little girl.
Dependable. That is what you epitomized as my Mother's oldest brother.
Hard-working. Your legacy lives on in your grands, I see it in Shelley and Tamia.
E. 95th Place was the spot -- where I played with my buddy Vincent. God those Chicago vacations were the highlight of the summer! The country cousins coming to visit the city cousins ... there will never be anything like my memories that you afforded me and my family. Uncle George and Aunt Bea. An unbreakable bond, a love that was mightily tested only making its bearers MIGHTIER!
Love you Uncle George, Vonda

I thank you for your wisdom. I thank you for your kindness. I am so very happy that Greg, Nyah, and I got to share our lives with such a loving man. Those we love remain with us. For love itself lives on. Cherished memories never die. For as long as there is memory, they will forever live in our heart. Rest In Peace.
