EAST END/LONG LOOK, Tortola, VI – The strength of a family that is obviously closely knitted was displayed in various forms today March 15, 2014 at the funeral for the late Police Inspector Leonard A. Fahie.

One could not have helped noticing the pain being felt by the family of the late PI who was a key link in the family chain. They said farewell to him today in the presence of relative, well-wishers, community members, friends and no less, the Officers of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.

Provisions for the final resting of PI Fahie commenced with a public viewing at the Road Town Police Station yesterday March 14, 2014 followed today by another viewing at the Upper Room Victory Church.

Today, the proceedings started off with a full military display of a processional march with all ranks of the various disciplined services in the Virgin Islands, with the RVIPF at the lead.

The procession took off from the East End/Long Look Police Station and went along the route to the Upper Room Victory Church as hundreds flooded the church’s decking and the nearby road way to take a glimpse of the march.

Once the viewing commenced several persons with hugs and embraces offered their support and prayers to the family not without noting the display of strength of Mrs Vilna M. Fahie. Wearing a constant smile she greeted everyone who came her way and held her children close.

It did not take long before she decided to let it all out when the walls of the church were struck with her shouts of “Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah”. The tears from several other family members began to flow and hugs got tighter from then on but the wife who confessed her true love for her husband continued to show great strength, something she is cognisant is needed to keep her family together.

Several Ministers of Government were in attendance, including Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable D. Orlando Smith and his deputy Dr the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering, Hon Ronnie W. Skelton and Hon Myron V. Walwyn.

Other legislators were also among the large gathering including a strong advocate for the RVIPF Third District Representative Honourable Julian Fraser, RA. Hon Marlon A. Penn and Hon Delores Christopher were also noticeably present.

The Fahie family burial ground at Hope Hill is the final resting place for the late Police Inspector Mr Leonard A. Fahie, a man whose love for his family and dedication to the RVIPF as servant of the people of the Territory was no secret. Among the many things that he would be remembered and missed for was his ability to cause one to bite their finger at the taste of his cooking.
