Hey grandpa i miss you a lot . It’s still shocking that you’re gone . It’s been 3 almost 4 months since you left and I keep thinking i’m gonna go back to florida and see you sitting in your chair watching your show . But i know that you’re not gonna be there when I go back . It’s been pretty hard to take it in that you’re gone . It hurts a lot but you were in pain and i’m glad you’re not anymore but I am without you . I haven’t felt this much pain before . I love you . 

My loving cousins, Brian, Andre and Rhonda, and other family members, I am saying to you that grief never ends, but it changes with the passing of time. It is a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is neither a sign of weakness nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love for your dear father, and our Uncle Horace.

Uncle Horace you are gone from our sight, but not from our hearts. May your soul rest in perpetual peace. Amen!

To the relatives and family of uncle Horace. From my family and I, our condolences to you all. May god grant him eternal peace. Keep the faith.

I am thankful for having visited him  at his home in 2019 and being able to share the early  history  of our family ,Laventille  and of course pre Desperadoes days , his involvement as captain of the mas band,the Bowen Percussion Band  , tambu bambu days and the Shango yards of his Aunt  and cousins. Travel well Cousin Horace may the ancestors greet and accept you with open arms .Ancestral blessings to us all .

To my great uncles Junior and Andre from your great niece in Trinidad. Grampa was the best great grandfather ever especially when he used to visit us here in Trinidad. Ever time he came we all used to be around him and taking pictures and posing for him, it was all fun times and happy moments. I always have to laugh when he called to talk to the family because when it was my turn he always used to ask "Mama you lose weight or you gain weight" and  when I told him I gain he used to tell me no no you have to slow down on the eating. Those were the best times and I really appreciate him as my great grandfather. Grampa sleep in heavenly peace because you have worked and served your purpose so it's  your time to rest and I will always love you.
From your great granddaughter Shantel. 

To my uncles Junior and Andre from your nieces and nephews here in Trinidad that's the best grandfather ever we use to pray for him to come visit us here in Trinidad and when he did we will stay whole day with him. We be watching him asking him a thousand questions where he will answer everyone. Our joy was just to see our grandpa. Grandpa we will miss u forever and the love u give us have kept and will keep us together. Rest up grandfather. From: Angela I love u dad.
To my uncles love from all of us.
StacyAnn Herbert, Stacy Herbert and Paul Maximin and our Kids.

To my cousins Andre and Junior, I am heartbroken for you having lost your father. I can’t imagine that level of pain or uncertainty. What I do know is that Uncle Horace, your father was amazing! He touched so many lives and truly was a mentor for anyone that sought his counsel, especially family. He was always my favorite and he always will be! I would argue down my cousin Hermès about whose Uncle Cookalooks he was! That just goes to show how much we loved him. He was apart of so many milestones in my life whether in person or in spirit I always had his support. We travelled the world together! I am forever grateful for the moments in time that we had. Rest easy my darling Uncle! Cousins, I love you always! I pray for your peace and comfort. We as a family are here to support and uplift you! 

To Junior & Andre
My condolences to you and your family. Uncle Horace was my favorite uncle. I always enjoy his cooking and his bread pudding. May God grant you all comfort and strength during this time. 
May God grant uncle Horace eternal rest. Love
Sandra and family.

Hi Junior and Andre',
My condolences on my one and only uncle. I can't believe he is the last of our Elder families. I called him Darling and it made him chuckle. He loved all of his families and would give me advice on different things that came up in my life. He always spoke to my son Anthony as a father would over the years.
Darling cousins, I know you're both strong men but please take care of your stresses because it could make you ill.
Junior you've got both my numbers so please WhatsApp me when you've rested.
Lxx to all my cousins. G

I have known Horace and his family for a long time he was always a man of  integrity that I always  respected him for his good words of advice May he RIP.
