    You as a humble person will be greatly missed, your brilliant mind has contributed immensely to the educational development in computer science of many: the last time I spoke with you was in reference to a Cheshire cheque I sent to someone in the village, whom could not get it hashed; because someone at a credit union refused to cash it disputing its validity.

    It was not until you intervene, and told the person the cheque was as good as cash money it was accepted. And so I would like to extend my sincere condolences to your dad Kenneth, and the remainder of your siblings, progeny’s (children), and step mother.

    Your soul shall rest in peace, along with all the great ones who went on before you such as your grandfather; my late uncle, aunts, and my father also.

    Rest in peace in the kingdom of God.

      What on earth is a ‘Cheshire Cheque’? You sent it to somebody in the village ‘whom’ could not cash it???
      I thought a man of your wealth would pay by cheque anymore. Maybe you do not qualify for a CC. Hahahaha

        You are so damn ignorant, rather than extending condolences to the late Val, immediate family, you running off you dirty mouth picking on me!
        It is not about me; regrettable I had to respond to your crap, because this is suppose to be a time of mourning for me also.
        It however takes petty trash like you to upset people, the man sister a dental hygienists died not too long ago, compounding that with the passing of Val two days, you have no idea how one feels, to be dealing with news.

        When I woke up yesterday, my phone was inundated by people who knows me wanting to know what’s our relationship; with the knowledge that I could have died last November.

        Man shut up, ………………………

          You know exactly what issues I had with your comment. Nothing to do with mourning but rather the same old… BRAGGING! Cheque I sent to someone in the village ‘whom’ could not get it ‘hashed’. It looks you sent cheques to everybody in the village the problem is they can’t ‘hash’ them. If you really wanted to do any good you would transfer money by Western Union, like everybody else does. You are just an old fantasist and day dreamer. End of story!

            Man shut up; praise God he gave it to me so that I can help people when they ask me for help; or whether or not they asks I give to who I am told have a need: Your poor behind is damn poor with nothing to give hence you are eating your wicked heart out hating me over nothing!
            Since you are so jealous, why don’t you hang yourself to see if i’ll feel your pain?
            You might be better off minding your business; which I suspect you don’t have any!

            Tell you what there is a guy in Wesley, who is raising money to have a kidney transplant done in Antigua, he is struggling; there is another young lady trying to raise money to either get a hip replacement, or simply surgery on her hip; go to Wesley and find out who they are and contribute to their cause; I have already contributed to one of them, and about to do so soon again.

            I help who I wish to help, okay, who have you given a measly dollar to in all of your miserable life?

        Well, here this; when I was a kid I was told how ugly I was in Wesley; fact is I was never an ugly boy, but one wonders what jealousy can do. Generally, we are endowed with a certain phenotype.

        My father was a very handsome man when he was young, he had the type of hair as Val, we all have a straight nose, or semi straight nose. By my jealous foes calling me ugly when I was a kid caused a stigma, until one Sunday going home from the Roman Catholic Church, a lady from Calibishe said to me “oh, you are a handsome little boy!”

        And so, I lived with the psychological stigma of being an ugly kid, until I lived in Germany, one night, in a Club in Cuxhaven West Germany, a woman came to where I was sitting and offered to by me drinks (beer Whiskey) anything I wanted; I accepted, we became friends. I noticed she had an unusual fascination, focused on my face; so I inquire, why, only to be told that I am the finest man she ever met!
        Well I have a bald-head now so I doh know!
        Hahahahah!
