Alford Joshua Wynter, 89, of Pusey District, Point Hill, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2021 after spending a few days in the hospital.

Born in Pusey District, Point Hill to Icilda Newell & Joseph Wynter, Alford Wynter, a Shoemaker by profession, tragically lost his mom at the tender age of 3 years old, and was grown by his Father. Alford was fiercely passionate about making a better life from the start and dedicated his life to both his pursuit of traveling as a Farm Worker and providing for his family. He was also a worker at the Worthy Park Sugar Estate.

In 1955, Alford met his wife, Hyacinth Wynter and went on to have seven children. Alford put family first, always, and was a dedicated father, grandfather and husband. His children & grandchildren tried to shower him with as much love after the passing of his wife Hyacinth in 2010, in order to keep up his strength after losing his soulmate. Alford was also a Jack of All trades around his home.

After he stopped traveling as a Farm Worker, Alford mainly concentrated on his own farm lands, to cultivate and occupy his time. His hobby of going to his various plots of land to farm was discouraged and discontinued by his children after it was considered unsafe for him to continue doing so by himself.

Alford was a strong, kind, loving, and supportive father. His knowledge and guidance was the foundation of his family.

Alford was also a passionate babysitter of his great-grandchildren, especially Jayden, Kay-Kay and Kali and an enthusiastic giver. He spent most of his retirement basking in the joys of having his grand & great-grandchildren around him.
Alford was predeceased by his wife Hyacinth Wynter and leaves behind 7 Children: Edwin, Ida, Rudolph, Sonia, Joylyn, Janet & Shernette, daughters-in-law, & sons-in-law; 18 Grandchildren; & 18 Great-grandchildren. No services will be held, only his burial at the family plot in Pusey District, Point Hill St. Catherine, Jamaica on May 21, 2021. The family requests donations in Lieu of floral tributes be sent in aid of a fundraiser to sponsor an Early Childhood Institution in the Point Hill Community in honour of Alford Wynter's memory. Forever Loved, Forever Missed, & Forever in our Hearts!
