I never met my uncle Joaquin as he left Guyana when I was a little girl. Growing up, we heard a lot about him from our mom, his late sister-Christina. I have had the opportunity to speak to him a few times since I moved to the US and I was glad I did. I just want to give my sincere condolences to his wife Barbara, his children and the rest of the entire family. May his soul RIP. - Posted by: Joan Ann Crawford-Grant (Niece) on: May 09, 2014
