I think we might have met years ago. However, you were my uncle and family. Rest in piece Uncle. xx

Raphael, Sorry I was not able to see you before you left us but I will miss our time spent together.  When we meet again I hope we can renew our fun times  Joyce.

Uncle Raphael Rest in Peace from Carl & Clive.  

To the Amazing Williams Family

I hold fond and dearest memories of this beautiful family borne through this strong, disciplined  and fore-runner of setting a fine example as a provider for his family. 
I remember many a evenings at Cobourgh Road he would arrive home from doing a shift at the bakery, hot bread at hand only to rest up and then set off again for another long shift!
I was accepted in his home and treated as family with never a stern word from Mr Raphael, his quiet and reassuring presence and the motherly concerns from Miss Earn was my security for many months. Thank you!!
I will never forget the love you all showed and continue to right down to this day!!
Miss Earn ,Bev,  Danny, Vie, Joanne and Var thank you for being so Beautiful and I am so sad that I am not there to share this sad but special time with you All. 
May Jehovah help you all to find comfort in knowing that you all set a fine example in caring for your loved one and that he will give you the strength to bare and carry your loss in the days, months and years ahead.
Love you all
‘Your sister from another mother’❤️

I was 10 years old when I met you. You were the father figure in my life. You were kind, caring and always there to help me, even growing into an adult you were always willing and offering a helping hand. I missed your carrot juice you made on Sundays and your homemade iced tea you made on  hot summer days that just made the heat disappear after drinking a tall glass. You were a good husband to my mom and a good stepfather to me and my brothers. Rest well Mr. Raphael and you will be missed. 

From Doreen  (your late brother Lester's daughter) and family.  We are so sorry to hear the sad news of uncles death. We are glad you all got to meet up again, in person, in England a few years ago.  You've all lived to a good age and have never forgotten each other. Rest in peace xxx

Raphie  - Mr Raphael  - Uncle Raphie or Grandpa will always be remembered as a kind, loving, patient, affectionate, humbled and willing gentleman. He was a great provider, a calm and willing soul that never says no. He was  a caring, and hard worker that believes that "Man Should Work" it's sin to feed a lazy man. When Raphie came to Jamaica in the early 1980's our family welcomed him and accepted him as part of our family. He was loved by one and all, from his former Church families at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Manhasset NY, to Parkwood Tennis Center in Great Neck NY. Raphie was always on the go. He never turn down an opportunity to drop off / pick up someone from Jamaica Ave on the weekends. Just say the word and he's willing and ready to go. We are sad but happy that he lived a full life, a God Filled life and life that was filled with Joy, Peace and Happiness.  Even though you were not around you dented a seal of memories that we will remember forever.

Dear Uncle Raphael,
I am saddened by your passing and my heart goes out to the family. I always enjoyed hearing the story of how you helped my mom as she was in labor, ready to bring me into this world. You have been a life long presence in our family - and I am  grateful to have gotten to know you. Your warm smile and gentle manner is something that never left you. When we last saw you it really made our day as I explained to my daughter who you were -  and the histories of our families.  Sleep well in eternal peace as our earth angel has now ascended to heaven.  Love. Mark Brown and Family. 

I am saddened by your passing Uncle Raphael. Always remembered you as a compassionate and humble man. You were one of my Mom’s closest and dearest friend.
I never forget how your lovely family graciously accommodated me in your home while awaiting Mark’s arrival. On that cold, wintery December night you had no problem running slipping and sliding down that icy path to dial 999 for an ambulance for me. So happy Mark, his daughter Lola and myself were able to visit you and reminisce about those times and had a good laugh. Sleep in eternal peace sir. My family and I send condolences to the Williams family. Praying for you all in this sad time🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

My Brother you were the oldest but you and me had a bond. The time I spent with you over the years was special to me. Especially last visit where I spent 3 months with you. I spent good times with the family. I will miss you my brother. Your at sleep now. I can't come to your funeral 💔 but I'm there in spirit. Sleep well Raphael my brother till we meet again lover Brother Ever xxp
 

My Dearest Uncle you never forgot me. The times we spent in UK and Florida was good times. You talked about your life in Jamaica and I listened in fascination. I will no longer hear your voice or see you on face time or see that big smile when you see me. Uncle RIEP  I will miss you x
