To the Livingston family I extend condolences on behalf of my family, on the passing of your dear husband, and father. Our prayers are with you. God who blessed you with this special person in your life will take care of you as you face the twist and turns of life. God will take care of you. Hold fast to the beautiful memories.

From Charmaine Dwyer & family

Sending condolences to the Livingston Family, I am so sorry for your loss and pray that you all will find comfort during this difficult time. God Bless and SIP Popsie! Carol

Mr Livingston had taken me under his wings the first time Maxine brought me home, I was 14 and just like that I became another daughter, RIP daddy and know ur legacy lives in and you will be missed ❤️

To my aunty Maxine and family, our most sincere condolences.

My words will forever fail me as there no characters in our language that would convey the feeling and likeness, of such a loss. A parent is like no other. The complex nature of the relationship builds a bond that even in death, grows within. Such a bond will never be broken.

Each day may be hard but I know you will find peace. My hope for you and your family is everlasting joy. A joy in knowing that this pain, however overwhelming is temporary.

God's blessings and Love,

Marvin & Shanique Haughton

Rest well big brother...(I forgot to sign) Leaford (Ferdie)

Rest well big brother. I'm really, really going to miss our long conversations and the laughs, and the stories, and the way you spoke to, and about me and my children. You called them by their names, you knew their ages and their birthdays even though you've never met the two youngest, and last saw the oldest 45 years ago. I will never forget the way you spoke about our mother and father, and siblings. And yes, I'll never forget the love that you always express for all of us and the enormous gift of Patsy, your saintly wife, and Michelle, Maxine, Marlene and Tio. The almost reverence, with which they all treat me is a testimony to your authentic and true love, that will forever bloom and bear fruits.

Hello Patsy and family, heartfelt condolences to you as you go through this period of bereavement. Popsy has lived a full life, now that you say goodbye, his fond memories will forever be in your hearts. We pray for comfort and strength. May God continue to bless you. From Paul's aunt Claris

Dearest uncle Popsie.......

It hasn't been a month since your sudden departure, but what a different place the world has become with the loss of your presence. I will sorely miss your joyous laughter, sense of humor, your innate ability to remember the smallest of details, making everyone around you feel like they were your most or only favorite. Thank you for showering us with such unconditional love. Your love provoked fearlessness in the shyest of souls, to be fully their authentic selves around you. Thank you for teaching us the importance of enjoying life to the fullest, and the power of savoring even the smallest of its' gifts like a glass of delicious red. May we honor your memory daily by replicating your wisdom, joy, love, and kindness. Rest in paradise Uncle Popsie

Dear Aunt Patsy....my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your lifelong partner, husband and best friend. Sharing such a special soul with the rest of us in life, and even more so during such a difficult time, attest the immeasurable love and kindness you posses. Lamentably our family will not be able to physically embrace you, Maxine, Michelle, Marlene & Teo today. We hope you feel the depth of our love and support whether near or far, today and always. Please extend my condolences to the rest of your family, friends and relatives that are also suffering uncle Popsies' loss.

Daddy..... please forgive my words as they fall short in expressing my sadness for you, as you process the loss of your Big brother and best friend. The memories of witnessing you turn into a mischievous boy while on the phone with him, teasing each other, fondly reminiscing of decades gone, belly laughing at his jokes and laughing even harder at his comebacks after your failed attempts to be clever, will remain as my top favorites. Mom, Tammy, Kimberly and myself all share in your sorrow. May your heart find peace trough our love and continued support.

Love always, Margo

Condolences to the Livingston family. Mr Rupert was a wonderful person, a great dad and a good family friend. I pray for the family and ask God to strengthen you during this time of grief. Be reminded that Jesus still cares and he will be there with you all. From Novlette the Mitchell Family

As we say goodbye to a wonderful man, Rupert A. Livingston please accept our deepest sympathy and know that our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.

Leaford, who has been a close family friend since we were in primary school, and Lenny who worked at the bank with a sister, I know how much you respected and cared for Rupert.  Keep strong with the rest of the family!  While I didn't get the opportunity to meet Rupert I had the pleasure of meeting his dear departed mother Maude who was a gem and a rock to the family.

Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

Condolence to the Livingston Family. Mr. Livingston was a good friend to me.

Walk good my friend. Cheer up my Marlene. I will always be there for you.

May his soul rest soul. From: Janice Donalds Friend
