He was a constant at Jamaican Government press conferences and was a regular caller of local radio talk shows like Cliff Hughes. He has sat down and interviewed dignitaries from around the world.
Before his passing Hopeton wrote his last poetic commentary;
If I liveth not another Day…
This weekend was one of Ray…
Being a perfect Dad
Would indeed be sad
Write this on my epitaph…
That at times i was confused and sad
If that is what it takes to be a loved dad …
I say for goodness sake, ride on …
Continue to consort with the also ran …
Alas, Those of perceived perfection …
Are confined to a desperate situation …
Thank you Dinah, Marsha, Lisa and Tanika
My granddaughters Eliana and Azania
And my wife Willa
Oon u tallawah
