Harold G. Findlay Jr. was born on November 10th 1946 in Kingston, Jamaica W.I. He was the first born child to the late Harold G. Findlay Sr and Lilieth M. Findlay.
Harold aka Pata or Patrick, was a father to many. After his fathers passing, at the age of 14 he became the father figure to all of his siblings and many extended family members. Through diligent hard work and immeasurable sacrifice and selflessness, he accomplished what some may view as impossible. Patrick's will and determination to provide for his tribe, as he often referred to his family as, led him to the United States in the early 60's. He worked around the clock and the majority of his earnings was used to care for his tribe at home in Jamaica. Although, Patrick was not a man of many words. When he spoke, you listened. Every word spoken was a gift of encouragement or a vow to help and help he did. Patrick was a man of truth and humility and believed in The Grace of God and Family.
Patrick is survived by his children: Lilieth, Ricardo, Patricia and Onika
Brothers: Percival, Rupert, Orville and Garfield
Sister: Yvonne
A wealth of grand children and great grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
A special blessing and thank you to his grand prince, Jahloni for selflessly caring for his Grandfather with such love, dignity and grace.
Patrick left a legacy of love, selflessness, strength and loyalty to all who have been blessed and privileged to know him.
