THE large number of people who turned up to pay final respects to Patrick Sadler was testimony to the life he lived that endeared him to almost everyone he met.
Sadler, who was laid to rest recently, was eulogised as a peaceful, authentic, articulate, thoughtful, reliable, caring and kind man, at a thanksgiving service for his life at Everton Park Seventh-day Adventist Church in St Andrew West Rural where he was a member of the Jamaica Labour Party.
