“It is the intention of a number of family members to establish a foundation to carry on the charitable works of Gregory Isaacs and
preserve his legacy,” Colin Leslie, a long time family friend and close
associate of the legendary singer told the

Sunday Observer.

From all indications, the Walker’s Place of Safety will be a priority for the Isaacs family. The Cool Ruler got involved with this institution
to assist the children who have been indentified as being at risk. He
was never one to brag about his good deeds, so his virtue for caring for
the well being and advancement of the less fortunate, is not widely
known.

For more than a decade, the home for orphans, abandoned and mentally challenged children founded in 1972 by the late Ivy Walker, has been a
beneficary of the late lovers rock crooner. And his widow has decided to
keep alive his charitable contribution to the home.

“We remember Mr Isaacs because we talked about him all the while. We even let the children sing his songs in the mornings after devotion to
cheer them up and things like that. So we will always remember him,”
manager Grace Allen noted.

“I know he must be smiling right now to know that I am continuing this gesture, and I’ll keep it alive. My presence will be felt here as long
as I am alive. He started it in the early 90s and I am going to continue
this,” was the assurance given by Mrs Isaacs, while adding, “This is
the total collection from the funeral service and I know he is glad to
know that all of it has been donated to the Walker’s Place of Safety.”
