THE GLEANER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2025 | www.jamaica-gleaner.com | A8AC8 Tribute to MR SING SLUN CHIN, CD GOOD MORNING everyone. My name is Annalisa Rodriguez, I am Sing’s rstborn grandchild of his rstborn daughter Michelle. I am joined by my siblings and cousins: Gaby, Julian, Courtney, Sebastian, Emily, and Mila. Or, like Papa liked to call us: Firstborn, Gabs, Juj, Scooch, Bas, Poo, and Mimi. Papa liked to joke that we are “Chinriguezes”. He always wanted us to remember that even though our last name is Rodriguez, we are proud members of the Chin family. We are lucky to have so many fond memories of our Papa. Sunday mornings during our trips to Jamaica meant Jamaican breakfast at Papa’s house with plates full of ackee and salt sh, breadfruit, and callaloo. Then there were our grand pickney eld trips to TGI Fridays when all the grandkids would pile into Papa’s truck and eat lunch all together. He instilled our love for cutthroat kalooki games and we will carry those memories as we teach our families and children how to play. All of us get our competitive sides from Papa. Since my siblings and I grew up in Miami, there were fewer times that the grandkids were all together. However, HIS LEGACY LIVES ON IN EACH OF US Sing Slun Chin with granddaughter Annalisa Rodriguez
