I’d like to express my condolences to the Francis family and all those who knew and loved Uncle Roy. He was a larger than life figure in the community; his church community and the Piparo Community of which I was a part ( I know that he had a work community, his tennis community and I am sure many others). I think fondly of the many annual reports that Uncle Roy presented in church, his seat in the last row of church, his taking responsibility for distribution of the Catholic news, his maintenance of the church surrounding to name a few, and his passion for proper order in all things. He was also our DJ - I think of the good times spent in church harvests and other events while listening to ‘Roy Boy’ spin the best of calypso and soca. I know that the last few years were trying ones - whenever I saw him, he would always have a supportive word for me and expressed interest in my progress. The importance of family and community become more apparent as time passes - thank you Uncle Roy; you were like family. May the Lord grant you eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine upon you.
May Aunty Sybil find comfort and peace in this difficult period of her life as you look over her.
