    (Sigh)…I thought about you on the 18th, 23rd/24th and the 28th September; not knowing, but remembering how you have helped me in all spheres.
    You were like a father to me – BRASH- 😃 but , hey. You knew that I could handle your rough exterior.

    So many exciting stories you told. I enjoyed listening, even if I heard them a million times.

    A life well lived. An enduring Legacy; whether they like it or not😁.
    Ashes across the Caribbean Sea “cause none ah dem cahn dig up/violate my grave”.😂

    Bobby Clarke – Formidable & Unforgettable.

    It was a riot and a pleasure knowing you.
    Rest in Battle!
