Papa Willie at MATHSLINK

Papa Willie was at MATHSLINK too!

When his baby daughter, Roxanne was there

He visited us while Roxanne was there.

He paid his dues promptly, often to the embarrassment of Don Katz,

Ceo of MATHSLINK.

Papa Willie would cycle his baby daughter,

Roxanne,

to MATHSLINK

 

Papa Willie repaired shoes

Many a shoe from many children he repaired

Literally free of charge

Papa Willie was a gentleman

Little did we know he'd go so soon

But we knew much that life to him was important

and life youth, even more so

We love you Papa Willie

and cheers to you too!

We love you papa Willie

Very much

We appreciate your honesty

love and laughter

 

Papa Willie was a Rasta

and MATHSLINK not

yet in his humility

entrusted his baby daughter to us

and in the process, allowed us access to his house, his heart, his home

thus love

 

His baby daughter, Roxanne

-a MATHSLINK student

was proud of him

 

Roxanne is a great person

she came to us as a child needing support for MATHSLINK

we did what we could to help where we were asked to

Roxanne enjoyed the support and comfort

 

Roxanne liked poetry

She talked a lot

was extremely comfortable when her dad-

papa Willie

dropped her off at the MATHSLINK premise

What a great girl

what a great person in her dad,

Papa Willie

 

Papa Willie spent some time with Eddie Grant

-yes, the famous international Reggae star

yet remained modest about this encounter with this Reggae soul

 

Papa Willie was a stalwart in the Parkwood area

Respected

Revered

Loved

involved in the community around him

 

Ironically today

Don Katz teaches at Fairmount High

The only High school in Parkwood

Further down the street that Papa willie lived

His family still lives there!
