Thanks to the Govt of Dominica > great job. Rest in perfect peace Mr PK Williams. A good citizen in the Laplaine community.
My condolences to the family and friends of the late Mr. Phillip Williams. May his soul rest in peace.
Thank you Sir and .. RIP..
Any time I read an article or news and see the title of “His Excellency”, and “President” before the name of Charles Savarin, I get turned off and cannot continue to read the article. To me it’s like one day forgetting all the ills satan has caused to humanity and one day end up calling him “lord” which will never happen.
RIP Mr PK. Remembering our banter….this time Dyer and Dyer couldn’t save you my friend. People of La Plaine above a certain age will know of your contribution to our village. We give thanks.
Sympathies to family and you KG (Cpl.Williams) during this time. Hold strong.
my sincere sympathy to my workmate from the forestry division Jefferson williams
RIP dear cousin PK aka Coco Féh
No disrespect but it is less than 24 hrs. to the good man’s funeral. Couldn’t GIS have announced that earlier? Now it looks like just an afterthought.
