In memoriam: Dr Roger Malebranche

On: By: potapiman

Konbit Pou Potapiman and the town of Port-a-Piment have lost a dear friend and supporter. Dr Roger Malebranche of Broadalbin, New York, passed away last Friday, January 17th 2020. Dr Roger Malebranche fell in love with Port a Piment years ago, when he was assigned to work there as a medical resident.

From our correspondence over the years, Roger, as he had requested that I call him, related: ”I can tell you that some of the most precious days of my life were spent in that little town.”

Roger followed our work very closely and never hesitated to encourage us to keep the faith.
He never forgot Port-a-Piment as he confessed:” My dream still is to get down for a visit and see what’s going on”.

Once as I was getting ready to travel to Haiti, Roger sent me a note: “When you get there, please say Hi to the town and its inhabitants for me, and drink a shot of tafia ak asowosi .in my name “

Roger will be missed. May his Soul rest in Peace.!

On behalf of the population that he had served, we at Konbit Pou Potapiman express our thanks and deep respect for his service.

Condolences to his family and friends.
