He also worked for many years as a supervisor at Weiter and Ricther drinks factory in Georgetown Guyana. This would go on to shape his life as an adult and would inspire him to be a dedicated and loving father. The Family migrated to the USA in 1988 and he continued working and being a dedicated husband and father whilst his children sought after their own career paths and families.

Godfrey was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. His life had an amazing impact on everyone who knew him. Our family was defined by love and generosity and in between the trials Without Harold Godfrey Daniels love and support in our family our lives would’ve been drastically different. He was a man of faith and as a servant of God he led his family to a place of Honouring God and trusting in his word. We mourn the loss of our father and encourage all who knew him to remember the calmness and soft-spoken man he was.
He is at peace in heaven with his Lord and Saviour and although he will be sadly missed he will be forever in our hearts and minds. The viewing and cremation will be held on Saturday 9th October 2021 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at Johnson Funeral home, 2685 Henderson Drive, Jacksonville NC. 28546 USA.
