Lowell Hawthorne O. D. was someone I knew for a few years now, only in passing. Passing meaning not close friends, but whenever I saw him or vice versa we greet each other cordially, either at an events or at the Consulate General in New York.<\/p>\n
Twice in my life I actually heard from Mr. Hawthorne, once when the Diaspora Board was actually being formed and a launch took place here in\u00a0New York….People complained that they usually talked but\u00a0nothing gets down. Thus, thereafter I wrote up some questions and actually walked into Irwin Clare”s\u00a0 office \u00a0and show him and spoke to him about the issue. Shortly thereafter I got an email from Mr. Hawthorne.\u00a0 The other time was recently when he send me a friend request\u00a0for Facebook.<\/p>\n
I know him as a humble man because this is how he had always been whenever I saw him. So, imagine my bewilderment when on December 2, when I heard that he had expired and the unbelievable explanation that I heard for his death.\u00a0 Shock took over.<\/p>\n
Beloved he came to the promise land and make good for himself and his family. He accomplished what millions of Jamaicans travel to the New Worlds to gain,\u00a0prosperity and to help their Home Land stay afloat.\u00a0Many dream of just making it and sorely fail.<\/p>\n
The patty business in Jamaica is a stiff business \u00a0with your “Tastes” and your “Suger N spice” patties. And here in the U.S. going up against Caribbean Delight, was a challenge and for Mr. Hawthorne to come\u00a0to the U.S.\u00a0and set up Golden Crust Patties and\u00a0other Products and make it, is an overwhelming achievement. He even became\u00a0the author of a book, so we know he had no plans of going anywhere soon thus, the shock.<\/p>\n
His songs and legacy can’t be over look or out done because inspite of, \u00a0he shined…like a lone morning star.\u00a0\u00a0He was one of Jamaica’s brightest beacon and notwithstanding some of the allegations stock against him he gave and a lot. Mr. Hawthorne was one of the good ones and although we question why because we, some of us can find our way out of sticky jams; sometimes some feel there is no way out, which is not true but at hens moment one don’t see through to the other side clearly. He was a brother a father a son and he was loved by all. Enough can’t be said of his goodness to\u00a0others. Patience, is really a virtue.<\/p>\n
Mr. Hawthorne O. D. \u00a0is gone but his \u00a0will to\u00a0 live, lives on through his legacy and he certainly will never be forgotten.<\/p>\n
Mr. Hawthorne’s funeral took place Tuesday, December 19, 2017\u00a0 at the Christian Cultural Center…12020 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn. He had an arousing send off..<\/p>\n
Mr. Hawthorne left behind His wife, three sons, one daughter\u00a0 and countless relatives. His sun rose\u00a0 May 1, 1960 and his sun set December 2, 2017. He was a Godly man and in death we hope he found peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
