I certainly appreciate seeing my Father recognized on these pages. My Father is certainly God's gift to a son and one i am extremely proud of.

i will sum my Dad up in this phrase, "If you need him he will not say no." He always seem to be ever present to help just about anyone, Early morning trips to take someone to kingston or montego bay and there have been many of those times where he did it with nothing in return and the amazing thing about that is that he seemed fulfilled just helping even for no money.

Those of us who know him knows he is the ever present help even if he can't.

As a boy growing up i never felt afraid of anything even the deepest of trouble seem to fade in the confidence i place in my Dad to help me through any problem. You only get to feel that way when the person you are leaning on has proven to never let you down.

To the Greatest Dad in the world, May you remain always and forever the helping hand of your fellowman and the true hero of my life.

Love Rohan and Family

Hi Denville,

After nearly a quarter century of knowing you and your wonderful family, it is great to finally see your smile on the Forum. It is one of the most wonderful things about you. You always have a smile, offer a helping hand, and have a kind word. God bless you.

With much respect,
Peter & Karen Kennedy

Gully, this is truely beautiful. although am not sure you are being justified by these wonderful words. you have always been a voice of reason and insperation, a father and a friend, to the young men and women of Billys Bay. your doors are always open, in any situation of help you are the first one in and one of the last out. If I had ot tell a story of the Man are and have been, I would have nothing but a blank page. there are no words to discribe a man such as yourself.

Brother Ville, it is real nice to see you being featured on this forum. I remember when we were kids and used to come to the Billy's Bay seaside to look fish; you and brother Ernie and others would give us fish. Thanks for your kindness. I never forget your acts of kindness. Thanks again!
