Thank you, for being a positive, cool and always interesting Uncle Aqwan. You showed me a blueprint on how to live and enjoy the ones around you.

One love and give your sisters a hug for me.

My deepest love to you all. Do accept condolences on behalf of the Edmund and Belcon family members and all friends and relatives here in Trinidad and Tobago. It is never an easy task saying goodbye to our loved ones, but hopefully, we could find a small measure of comfort in knowing that we are not alone in our grief. Sending light to accompany the spirit of “Uncle Akong” along his path back to Source Creation. Showering you all with deepest consolation, compassion and love. Special hugs to you, Pat, as well as Joanne and Jenny. May you be comforted by the fact that your Dad was a wonderful man, and that you have been able to enjoy his company for all these years.

My deepest condolences to you all. I never got the chance to meet him, but I know through his daughter (Pat), grand and great grandchildren (Charmayne, Michelle, and Candice) that he must have been an amazing man. They all had great stories of his love and compassion. I know he will continue to look down upon them and smile and send love.

Sending my deepest condolences to Lai Choy family. I’ve always enjoyed the music going in his backyard over the weekend and the love he showed for his family & friends. I’ve never had the pleasure of conversing with him but I know he was well respected and loved unconditionally by his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to Patricia, Charmayne, Michelle, Gregory, Phoebe, Joshua & the rest of the Lai Choi family.

Sleep well gramps. Until we meet again. ❤

To my loving uncle Aquan,

You are my mother’s dearest brother and a loving uncle to all of us. God Bless you to live a long and loving life and I’m sure you have now found Peace and Joy and a lovely place in Heaven.

Due to Covid -19 and the lockdown sorry we cannot be at your send off.

Rest in peace my dearest uncle.

All our love and thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

I don’t know you I’m so sorry to hear about your husband passing he is Now resting in peace may god be with you and your family you are all In my prays always remember the good times you had with him

Uncle Aqwan always made me smile. He was a joyful soul to be in the company of, who’s presence lit up a room; from his stories, to his laugh. Always dressed to impress – a true dan. A lover of the arts- knew his music and loved his tunes – always singing or humming to a song or beat. He will be missed but a good life he did live. I can hear my grandmother now, “Ey, is that you – John Lai?”

My deepest condolences to my aunties (Patsy, Joann and Jenny) and famalay- “all of we is one.”

Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to all my family members on the passing of uncle John. May our memories of him stay with us forever and help during this time of great loss. May he rest in peace.

Love always,

Melissa

Sending my deepest condolences to the Lai Choy family from Ana Navas and Luis Santigo, may he rest in eternal peace and may God be with each and everyone of you through this hard times.

Death leaves such a heartache no one can heal and love leaves a memory no one can steal. I pray that you find comfort in the strength he gave you guys. The love he wraped your heart with and the power to get you through this very difficult time. Wishing you peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart forever. I pray that you find comfort by the outpouring of love that is surrounding you. Love you guys to the moon and back.

A bigger brother I never had but uncles I had 3. It has always been an honor and a privilege to be mentored by them all and through the years, I have learnt to respect them and love them in my own special way
Aquan you were my oldest uncle, 17 years my senior, a man of humble beginnings who always made me feel
very welcome and through the years I have never stopped calling or visiting. You had your saxaphone, your clarinet and your music. At a young age you taught me that music was a language expressing feelings and ideas through the medium of song.
You personally washed your car, always kept a fine wardrobe and never liked people holding your LP’S (records) leaving smudges or fingerprints on them. If you had a million dollars or one dollar in your pocket, nobody would see a difference in your personality. In my early twenties you would lend me your big black Chevrolet car to impress the ladies and would complain about me bringing it back without gasoline.
I watched you proudly walk down that tarmac at Piarco airport with your 3 daughters bound for these United States to bridge the generation gap and enjoy the bountiful life this country offered. You did me proud.
Six years ago you could still remember your driver”s licence number, your social security number, your bank account number, as sharp as a tack. In the last few years things changed. We both knew it but we both communicated in spirit and through music.
we enjoyed a good long relationship. we have no regrets. You knew your music but I would always try to play you a tune I thought you didn’t know. Had you competed on “Name that tune” you could have easily won. Some of your oldies like Danny Boy, Stardust and The call of the far away hills will always be etched in my mind.
Aquan you will always be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Rest in eternal peace.
Love always
Georgie

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Lai Choy and related family & friends on our significant loss. After the passing of his beloved brother Hinson, my Dad, he was always supportive of me, especially when it came to education, and he stood proudly by my side as I graduated from University, which meant more to me than anyone can imagine, and will be a forever memory for me. I share this because Uncle John always saw the potential in each one of us and challenged us to do the very best in life. I will miss him dearly!! Remember that “those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear”…May your Soul Rest in Eternal Peace, dear uncle John Aqwan Lai Choy

Fondest Regards & Love from Indra, Melissa, Maria & Patricia, the Miller & Eno families

My condolences 💕

Sending our condolences to your family and praying for your strength and peace during this time.

I’ve heard such great stories about how cool you were and how you brought people together. I truly wish I had known you. Thank you for being a foundational member of this family. I’m sure stories will be told of you for many years to come. All of them will bring a smile to the face of those that loved you.

We will miss you.
From a great-niece with much love

Auntie Theresa, Richard, Rhea and to the rest of John’s family, please accept our condolences. We pray that John is granted eternal and perpetual rest and peace. May God comfort you all at this time.
