There is an open gate at the end of the road. Through which each must go alone. And there is a light we cannot see out Father claims his own. Beyond the gate, your loved one finds happiness and rest, and there is comfort in the thought that our loving God knows best.

 On Thursday, January 29th, 2015, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Rey McKenzie Luis was called to his heavenly home. He was born December 14th 1935 In Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. He was the son of the late Iris Williams.

Rey, affectionately known as Roy, Dad, Grandpa or Papi was raised by his mother in Puerto Limon, Costa Rica with his late sister Ethel Rice. He was very well known for his boxing abilities and his charm. In 1967 He migrated to the United States and settled to Boston with his mother.  Shortly after, he sent for his beloved first born, Rudell Luis. A few years later he met his beautiful wife Flory Myers.  She didn’t take a liking to him at first but he was determined to win her heart and so he did.  They were married September 30th, 1970. Shortly after they had a daughter Lelrine.

Rey was a hardworking man, and maintained two hospital jobs to support his family.  In 1967 he started working at Children’s Hospital as a housekeeper.  A few years after, he worked as an orderly.  Rey had a great love for children.  He would visit all the kids after their surgery, and had a special bird whistle to cheer them up. Whenever he came down the hallway the children recognized the special bird call. He became so close with the doctors at Children’s Hospital that they sent him to Boston College to be trained as an OR Tech. Rey worked at Children’s Hospital for over 30 years.  He took great pride in his career.

 He was a loving caring person, who enjoyed quality time with his friends and family. His love for fun and laughter was very evident wherever he went, whether it was playing chess, dominos, music, dancing or making some kind of concoction in the kitchen. He had an amazing way of making anyone and everyone feel welcomed in his presence.

Rey will forever be missed by his loved ones. His wife Flory Luis. His children Rudell Luis and his wife Traci Luis. Lelrine Fenner and her Husband Scott Fenner.   His grandchildren which include Dakota Luis , Amani George- Luis, Aaron Luis, Anya Fenner, Trey Fenner, Taron Fenner, Patrick Williams, Tatiana Williams and Ian Williams. He also leaves behind a host of extended family, relatives and friends.  A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in Saint Angela’s Church, 1548 Blue Hill Avenue, Mattapan on Saturday, February 7 at 10 AM.  Relatives and friends invited.  Visiting hours will be held Friday night at Dolan Funeral Home 1140 Washington Street, DORCHESTER LOWER MILLS from 5-9 PM.  Interment Forest Hills Cemetery.

Jose Miguel Rodrigues

Jose Miguel Rodrigues “Dje Dje De Ana”, of Milton February 3, 2015, was born in Fogo of the Cape Verde Islands in 1924 to Ana and Benjamin Rodrigues. He was their eldest child, and later, helped his mother raise his younger siblings while his father was in the United States of America.

On the Cape Verde Islands, he worked as a supervisor of various governmental road construction projects as well as a supervisor to few family agricultural properties. For a short period of time, he was also a land surveyor in Fogo, Cape Verde.
His father, Benjamin Rodrigues,  a US Veteran of WWI, became a United States citizen in 1926, which meant that while his brothers and sisters became automatic United States citizens, he was not afforded such a privilege, as he had been born in 1924.
In 1959, with the change in immigration laws, his youngest brother, the late Antonio Rodrigues, was able to petition for his immigration finally in 1966. He and his eldest son, Manuel Rodrigues, came to the United States and lived with his mother and brothers until his wife Catarina arrived in Boston in 1967.
Jose worked at several jobs during this time to provide for his family. He worked in a garment factory in Dedham Massachusetts as well as a papermill company in Hyde Park. During the weekends, he would work with his late brother, Peter Rodrigues, in the town of Scituate doing landscaping.
He lived in Dorchester, Massachusetts with Catarina and children, and in 1974, had a severe auto accident, and remained disabled for several years. This was a very difficult time for him because he was not able to provide for his family. Many years later, he was co-partnered with GG Goncalves Wholesale Produce, and later, he founded Rodrigues Wholesale Produce in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He later moved to Milton, Massachusetts in 1987, where he resided until his passing.

Jose was beloved husband of Catarina Barbosa (Centeio) Rodrigues. Father of Manuel Cruz Rodrigues, Miguel B. Rodrigues, Joao Felipe Lopes, Vitalino Alves Rodrigues, Jose Santos Alves, Henrique Gomes, Maria Mendes Pina, Filomena Rosa Gomes, Dr. Maria Ana Rodrigues, Maria Estela Rodrigues and the late Maria Jose Rodrigues.
