RIP - Datuk Alfred Frederick Bosuin
Monday, 28 May 2007
Last Saturday, I received an sms from my cuzzie, Albert Jaua, stating that Datuk Alfred Bosuin has passed away at SMC. How are we related? He is my mum's 1st cousin. Their dads are brothers. I remember him as being the respected elderly and kind hearted uncle. His funeral was held today at the St. Aloysius Limbanak Cemetery after a requim mass held at St. Aloysius Church, Limbanak. The eulogies for the late were spoken by Datuk James Ligunjang, Mama Bona Jaua (on behalf of Mama Tua), Abang Joe Bosuin (on behalf of the late's children), Kakak Ursula (on behalf of children in law), Charlene Fransen (on behalf of grandchildren) and Simon Bosuin (on behalf of his siblings). All eulogies were well written and well spoken by all the representatives. The last respect carried out after the mass and you can witness that Bapa Tua had many friends and relatives who will miss him dearly. May his soul rests in peace.
Eulogy
Datuk Alfred Frederick Bosuin, 65, passed away on Saturday, at 5.03pm, 26 May 2007, at SMC after more than 2 months of courageously battling his illness. Bron onthe 11th July 1942 in Kg. Ramayah, he was the eldest son of the late Francis Bosuin Masayun and the late Othilia Lonuing Jominol. He had his early education at St. Michael School, Penampang. He was united in marriage with Datin Mary Likunin Malatin. He enjoyed travelling and had visited Europe, Australia and several countries in the Asian region. His passion for flying fox (gavi) is legendary, hence hunting and cooking were his favourite pastimes. He served in many capacities as a formal and informal leader to initiate development projects, organized political activities, social activities, charities to the less fortunate and church activities in his kampung and the District of Penampang. He was bestowed the order of P.G.D.K which carries the title Datuk by the state government due to his contribution to the state in 1998. He is survived by his beloved wife, Datin Mary Likunin Malatin and 7 children, Joe, Joan, Jenny, Joanna, Josie, Josia, Leri, 9 grandchildren, a sister and brothers. He was preceded in death by his 1st daughter, Edna, father, Francis Bosuin Masayun, mother, Othilia Lonuing Jominol, brother, Johnny Bosuin and nephew, Eddy Isidore Bosuin.

My Condolences to the family of Datuk Alfred Bosuin. I am as shocked as anyone about his departure. After losing a good friend in Frankie, another person who is a nice person passes away. I am truly sad. but I pray for his soul and may he rest in peace.
