In memory of my dear Uncle Doctor, dad's younger brother. As a younger man living across the road from us in Jamaica, I remember you as my quiet and private uncle. I can't remember ever hearing an unkind word from you. You were always polite and soft spoken and a man of peace.
Later in life, in Baltimore, when we visited some fifteen years ago, my wife and I and kids were so blessed when we woke up that glorious morning to the smells of fry dumplings and ackee, which you dear Uncle Doctor, were lovingly preparing for us.
In these latter years you reconciled with your sisters and reached out to those close to you with a quiet love.
After our visit to Baltimore, you and I, Uncle Doctor stayed in touch by phone for a few years and during those conversations, I could sense a yearning for companionship and camaraderie.
Uncle Doctor, I lost touch with you over the last few years for no fault of your own, but because of my own fault of not finding the time to reach out. You were, however, always in my daily prayers and I know that you are with our Father.
I love you and will miss you, until we will see you again.
My beloved Uncle Doctor.
With love, Tony
Fay

Eric, our walk together has been one of challenge and change, but through every moment we found grace in love, laughter and sparks of happiness. No matter the circumstance I was comforted knowing we had each other, I will always love and miss you.
Your wife Barbara.
