Monsignor Kenneth Mock Yen, left, offers words of comfort to the family of the late Sam Mahfood, businessman, co-founder and chairman of the charity organisation, Food for the Poor, during a thanksgiving service for his life held yesterday at the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral, Old Hope Road, St. Andrew.

At right is Mr. Mahfood's widow, Rosie Marie, and, beside her, is daughter-in-law, Caroline Mahfood and her son, Andrew Mahfood.

Hundreds of mourners from a wide cross section of Jamaican society who filled the church, heard the Rev Burchell McPherson laud Mr. Mahfood's business acumen and philantrophic spirit.
