My condolences to all of the Smith family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I recall my first day at work with HM Customs, I knew Mr. Smith through his St. David's family, he took me under his wing and was very supportive. I recall the first male passenger being very aggressive and swearing at me, Mr. Smith stopped in and stopped him, he was indeed a good mentor and a father figure for me. He will be missed by me and his former colleagues.

To Clay & Phyllis and Family

So sorry to hear about you Father. I rememeber Mr. Smith when I use to live at Wellington.


A fathers touch, A daddy's kiss
A grieving Children, you're greatly missed.

An empty house, an empty chair
A fathers love, no longer there.

A broken heart, tear filled eye
Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind
Some I laugh, some I cry.

The times we shared, the laughs we had
Things I miss when I think of you dad.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too
Only memories, of what once was you.

Missing your laugh, I will never again hear
That is the reality that fills me with so much fear.

No more smile on your face
No more warmth of your embrace.

The last hug, the last kiss
The last 'goodbye' leaves us with one last wish.

To have you dad, here today,
Never to leave your children this way.

A Father's touch, a daddy's kiss
A grieving children, you're greatly missed.

Wendell, Clay, Phyllis and Jenna, and all of "Bo's" family, St George's Cricket Club, the St George's community I wish to extend my condolences to you. "Bo" was a giant of a man, well loved and well respected. His contribution to community, club, and country are to me the epitome of what service really means, unmatched by few that I can recall in the role of player and administrator of the various sports fraternities he was involved with. Being a former employee of St George's Cricket Club, I had the pleasure of working with and for "Bo". Who can ever forget that beaming smile and that trademark saying "ey look" when he wanted to get your attention lol. I have no doubt that "Bo" will receive his "just" rewards in his heavenly home. I pray that GOD will sustain you all as we mourn his passing. I'm reminded of a little verse from a song by Sammy Davis jr, " ah yes, Mr Bojangles, dance" !! and dance he did to the tune of exemplary service and commitment.. Rest peacefully "Bo", you will be sorely missed and never forgotten.

St. George's was a better place because of your fathers presents. he was a great example of dedication and loyalty, He was truly one in a million, we can only hope that the many good things that Bo left with us will live on in all of us who had the great pleasure of knowing him. His passing brings back a lot of fond memories many talks in "stone-crusher corner"! My prayer is that GODs presents, and your memories will bring you comfort at this very difficult time.
