        MOURNING  the  death  of Lincoln V. Mayers, astute
        businessman, family man and devoted  member  of  his
        community

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to pay tribute to
citizens of the Empire State whose lifework and civic endeavor served to

New York; and

  WHEREAS, Lincoln V. Mayers died on Friday, January 8, 2021,  at  the
age of 74; and

  WHEREAS, Lincoln V. Mayers was born to the late Arch Abbess Marjorie
and  George  Mayers on July 27, 1946, in Port of Spain, Trinidad; in the

Brooklyn, New York, and took a job at the Domino Sugar Factory; and

  WHEREAS,  After  five years, Lincoln V. Mayers relocated to Houston,
Texas, where he worked in construction and  purchased  his  first  taxi,

chicken business; and

  WHEREAS,  Through  his  hobby  as  a  successful Dee Jay, Lincoln V.
Mayers was dubbed "Soca Link" and was popular  for  his  tag  line  "One
Link,  One  Love";  his music and zest for life was inspired by his deep
appreciation of his Trinidadian and Tobagonian culture; and

  WHEREAS, Lincoln V. Mayers was always smiling and made many  friends
throughout  his  beautiful  life; his loud, distinctive voice and joyful
spirit naturally helped to bring people together, and his compassionate,
giving heart gave freely to those in need; and

  WHEREAS, Above all, Lincoln V. Mayers loved spending time  with  his
cherished  family,  who  motivated  him  to live to the fullest each and
every day; and

  WHEREAS, Armed with a humanistic spirit and imbued with a  sense  of
compassion,  Lincoln  V.  Mayers  leaves behind a legacy which will long
endure the passage of time and will remain as a comforting memory to all
he served and befriended; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
mourn the death of Lincoln V. Mayers, astute businessman, family man and
devoted member of his community; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the family of Lincoln V. Mayers.
