RIP - Words for Dad

May your journey home be like a drink of cool water on a hot sunny day.
Just let go into the bliss of return.
We in the land of the living will let go too,
Reminiscing on a life well lived
Recalling times of laughter, fun and accomplishments won.
And we shall grieve…because we miss you,
Accustomed as we are to seeing you decked out in your physical body
Yet our tears will be that river that washes you up on yonder shores
To once again greet Stephen Samuel, Nana, Eric, Roman, Kay and more
Say hello for me, tell them they are not forgotten
I, for one, celebrate as your light joins theirs
To shine greater insights and clarity in my meditations, my contemplations
The deepening of an unmistakable connection with the One.
Thank you for all that you do…
 even in death.
Ashe, Ashe Ashe O.

Tribute from Jaleel Johnson who was one of Oscar’s grandsons living in Britain at the time of his passing

November 21, 2010

I apologise for my absence but I am saving for a big occasion sometime next year in Jamaica so i hope I'll be forgiven. As one of OB's oldest grandchildren and the one who has had more experiences with and memories of him, i feel that i must say something.

He was a man that gave me great joy as a young child growing up and one of two men who i knew personally that showed me what the rewards of hard work with plenty ambition can be. He set the bar quite high and i am yet to even come close. He was very strict with me and his other grandchildren insisting on the correct usage of the English language and proper spoken and table manners. His laugh, dominoes and Old spice aftershave are things that I'll never forget about him.
 
His history from Bensonton to the UK and back to the parish of his birth is the reason why i can be living in the uk where i am now. I am incredibly grateful for the experiences i have had with him over my 27 years and the influence it has had on my morals and goals in life. His influence has been great and I think i speak for all here when i say he will be greatly missed.  Rest in peace granddad.

Tribute by Errol N. Allen, Retired Deputy Governor, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank

November 21, 2010

Oscar Benjamin Simpson was one of those rare, ebullient personalities in whose company you would yearn to be in good times and in bad, because he had the capacity to enliven all surroundings in which he found himself. central banking became his profession, and I dare say he enjoyed every moment of an oft challenging career. I first met him 36 years ago, but it was during his post-retirement stint as adviser to the governor of the eastern Caribbean central bank in the area of bank supervision that our friendship deepened. a devoted family man, a trusted friend and confidant, we shared many fine moments.

OB, as he was affectionately known, has had a good and fulfilling life. my family join with me in extending condolences to his wife Winnifred, his children, grand children, and other members of the bereaved family. and may his soul rest in peace.

Tribute by Michael Lightbourne, Former Director of Bank Supervision, The Central Bank of The Bahamas

November 21, 2010

A thousand memories run through my mind at this time after learning the news of our dear O.B. from my local colleagues here at the CBOB. The flicker of the life and light of the party, as I remember it fondly, has gone out. Now we are forced to re-set our Caribbean supervisory equilibrium. 

If at all possible, please pass on my condolences to his immediate and extended family.
