My daughter Ciara is so right about the life, shared numerous years throughout! Amazingly so in fact! My family members who are many,were all able to be a part, of Hubie's dedicated time well spent! While he was here with us! Smile. Massively, everywhere in New York, other local states & various places people received him greatly! What his job ethics of security, special assignments as such curtailed! Celebrities, protocol in every way! So Hubie was an Icon along with, his longtime colleagues,associates as well! Hubie himself was a beacon of hope to many,as myself! Travel,reunions,big things always! I am so relieved at this time, that God made sure he made an impact, on my son Dante's life. At the age of 14 yrs old! Both my children really respected him, very much! Which was a blessing! Smile. Never disrespectful to him! A very important figure Hubie became, as he definitely earned his stripes! So God has him now, he as we also will one day, take our place before him! Thank you Mr. SIMMONS so much,for taking your rightful place before the Lord,in making it possible for Hubie to be entrusted with your care! Along with Jackie your assistant as well! God bless you all! On behalf of his mother, brother,all other family members, may the light of heaven be upon them now, as they mourn the loss of Mr. Whetstone! Their dear beloved family person! Now that there is an absence, of Mr. Whetstone, I pray that Steve, Hubie's only sibling left, will embrace Mrs. Whetstone and cherish her, as a son should! We're in the last days! In crucial times upon us! We need to live, laugh, & love! And put God first! Pray! Pray! Pray!
To My Daddy,
You came into my life, in the year 1991. I was 6 years old. You and my Mom had your share of ups and downs, but she did and still does love you.. you always remained a constant in my life. You taught me so much Daddy, you used to get up early in the morning and read the newspaper everyday, and then you would read the articles to me and with me, especially the comics section..you would tell me the background of the characters, who drew them, you always knew stuff like that lol You would help me sound out big words and tell me the meaning, you were so so smart. You would also talk with Dante (my older brother) about a bunch of different things, and as he got older you guys would hang out and party (shrugs) guy stuff I guess lol. I know my brother cared for you as well for sure. When you would be out and about you always brought something back for me, a little knick knack, a toy, my favorite snack, anything that showed you thought about me, your "Bee-Bee" as you always called me. You would take me to school in the mornings and pick me up sometimes too,and while walking, we would talk about the most random things...as I'm typing this its a reminder that I can't talk to you anymore...not on the phone at least...I've been missing that like you just don't know.. Years later when I grew up to be the woman I am today, you were still there. You were there as I became a mother to your "Bee-Bee Jr" Cerai! I remember when you came to the hospital with the rest of the family, and you were scared to hold her beacause she was so little you said, but you did, and I was soo happy. That little girl grew up to call you "Papa"! Cerai loved/loves you so much. Much like her Mom, you used to along with my Mom, take Cerai to school and pick her up when I was at work. You used to give her piggy back rides and she would just climb all over you and say "Papaaa" "I love you Papa" It was heartwarming seeing things come full circle. You used to tell me "Man, I remember when you were her age and like that, now you have your own Bee-Bee Jr" and I would say I knoww that's crazy right? And then you would say "Now she's gonna give you gray hairs like you gave me" And i'd say "Daaadd" And you would say " I'm just kidding" My father had so much love in his heart, he was such a good person, outgoing, always knew the latest on almost every topic you could imagine.. you ask him something , and 9 times out of 10 , he knew the answer. In the past couple of years we've been trying to see each other for the longest, with Covid, and your work schedule, and me just having another baby girl, Baby Aubrey, we got tied up sometimes. But without fail Daddy, every month since Baby Aubrey was born you would text me and say "Baby Aubrey is this many months old today"! I would send you pictures of her, and you said she's so photogenic and she could be a baby model. I wish you couldve seen her in person Daddy, she would've loved you so much like I and Cerai did... It's okay though, because I know you will be there with all of us in spirit now. My heart is truly and deeply saddened by your sudden departure... I was just talking to you for Father's Day.... I love you so much Daddy, always will, me and the girls love you, and we'll talk to you everyday... Mommy has you in mind and on her heart and Dante too.... S.I.P Daddy, gone too soon
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
