Nigel says
To my dear father,
I will cherish all the memories we had together. Even though you’re a man with not many words your action speaks volume! You were a great father to all 3 of your kids and a great husband to mommy. I’m so glad I inherited your humor and most of your dance moves. You also worked so hard at your craft that you made it look so easy. I remember one day I went to work with you when I was a teenager, and I came home and iced my whole body and said never again hahaha. And you did this for decades with ease or if it was tedious you didn’t show or care because you knew you had to take care of 3 kids and a wife. I will always love you and pray to be a father like you when that time comes. Love forever will be embedded in my heart.
RIP Daddy
Nadi says
Dear Dad,
I guess they needed you more so upstairs to have taken you away from us so soon. With your sense of humor and quirky dance moves, who could blame them for wanting you.
I miss you daddy.. 🙁 , my heart breaks that you can’t be by our side.. You were the master and commander of our ship.
You were an awesome father and a very faithful husband to mom. You loved us unconditionally and worked hard to provide for your family… I know because family meant the world to you, and you meant the world to me.
You were a great story teller. We were always engrossed and lost in your narrative. We always looked forward to bedtime just to be lost again. What I wouldn’t give to hear your stories just once more.
I still can’t believe you’re not here with us. It’s going to take a while for me to accept it.
I thank God for every minute that I had with you. You will forever be missed, but never be forgotten.
I will carry you in my heart.
I love you
Kelly says
To my dear uncle, your memories will forever be a part of us. You truly were a wonderful person and I know you are with your maker and watching down on all of us. Fly high with the angels. Rest In Peace Uncle Batan.
From your niece Kelly , Elvis, Zachery and Zalaina.
Dulcie Poplow says
There is no right words to express my feelings towards my husband. I will forever cherish the love and support that my husband showed me. I could not have asked for a better person to share my happiness with. He was my soulmate and he made my life complete. With every moment that passes by I will always miss Gopaul but now he is in a beautiful place with the angels. Rest In Peace my husband.
Daniealla says
On behalf of the Hosein family- Kamini, Dennis and Daniealla- we send our condolences to the Poplow family.
Uncle Batan welcomed me into his home and he showed me fatherly love, support and guidance. I may not have known uncle Batan for a long time but he was an amazing person and I’m glad I had the chance to share some great memories with him.
Rest In Peace
Jennifer Pérez says
To my loving grandfather,
I will treasure and nurture all of the memories we have shared together. The memories we have shared will never be forgotten. I remember the stories of how you took care of me since I was born. The memories of you taking the time to take me to school every morning. I didn’t tell you this in person but I want to tell you that I’m grateful to had you in my life and how you were more than a grandfather to me, you were more of a father figure. You took on the role of being a father figure towards me when my biological father couldn’t. I know you can’t physically be here together with me but you will always be in my heart. Rest In Peace grandpa
Sunita says

Naila says
Hi dad,
I am truly blessed to have you as my dad. I will always cherish the time we climbed trees,gardening,fishing and roast cashews together. You always made sure we had breakfast before we went to school and food when we came back. Thank you for making my childhood memorable. Nanny always used to say, you treat us like gold, never wanted anything to happen to us. You did my laundry when I couldn’t. You were ALWAYS there when we needed you. I will always have you in my heart. Thank you for being a wonderful grandfather to my kids. We love you so much.

Vythelingum family says
Brother Gopaul, you were very special to us. When we met you for the first time, we connected right away, you seemed like an uncle to us. Whenever we would go to your home, you would make us feel welcome. We remember your famous barbecue chicken that was delicious. You loved to cook and had a huge heart. Whenever we needed a ride to church, you did not hesitate and would come running. We will cherish those memories forever. We will miss you dearly. Rest In Peace.
Amanda & David says
Gopaul, we will miss you dearly. We remember the time you played in the movie and it was very enjoyable to see your acting skills. Working on the house renovation together, we got to know you more as well as your sense of humor. He cooked really good meals and was a very welcoming person. Always ready to help when needed. Rest in Peace Gopaul.

Christina Poplow says
We will alway cherish all the memories of you. Every time Nigel and I came over you would always have a variety of drinks for us. From soda, to shandy, beer and the good stuff 🙂 You loved to dance and once you started you were the life of the party. I have known you since I was 15 and there are so many qualities I see in Nigel that he got from you. A part of you will always be with the family. Rest In Peace.
