I was very sor­ry to learn of the mur­der of Mr Ju­nior Valen­tine.Over the past sev­er­al years I came to know Ju­nior as a most friend­ly per­son. We would meet reg­u­lar­ly at Pan­cho's snack­ette where we had break­fast in the ear­ly morn­ing hours be­fore work.Ju­nior was friend­ly to every­one and nev­er saw me, even across the street with­out say­ing hel­lo. We es­pe­cial­ly ex­changed hearty and warm wish­es this past Christ­mas.

Last week he vis­it­ed me at my place of work to pur­chase a suit length as he of­ten did. All I can keep think­ing about is that he will nev­er have the chance to en­joy wear­ing his new suit.He was a po­lite and gen­tle per­son and it is a shame that he lost his life so sense­less­ly. It is sad to see the mur­der rate con­tin­u­ing as it was be­fore and that it is tak­ing so many nice peo­ple.RIP Ju­nior Valen­tine.
