Clifford Angelo Dobson

He was 91 years old and lived a wonderful life with his wife of 66 years, Enid Dobson.

He was born on April 12, 1925 in New York City, NY; his parents, deceased are Ena and Lambert Dobson. He was raised in Spanish Town, Jamaica, W.I., by his grandmother, Mary Hart. His sister Gloria preceded him in death on March 1, 2011.

He leaves behind his wife Enid Dobson, 2 children, Deborah Lawrence and Daryll Dobson and 5 grandchildren, Anjanette, Jennifer, James, Jonathon and Olivia. Other loves in his life include 9 great grandchildren and his beloved nephew, Dennis Simmonds and niece, Denise Cotton. In addition there are too many grand nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends here now and those now gone. He touched so many people’s lives throughout his years, always lending a helping hand or ear to everyone. He loved to travel and loved baseball. He was famous for his words of wisdom and all who knew him will carry those words as a reminder of who he was and the success he created in his life and all of our lives. He was the life of the party at all our family celebrations, especially barbecues… He loved cheeseburgers! He planned his life and even his passing just as he taught us all to do... He was a great teacher, mentor, friend, grandfather, uncle, husband and father.

We will miss him so much, but we know that although he is absent from the body, he is present with the Lord. If he could speak, here is what he would say:

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path God has laid you see.

I took His hand when I heard him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day

Tasks left undone must stay that way.

I found that peace at the close of day.
