We would like to share with you the burden of your loss, the passing away of your beloved father.
Whom his death has deprived Ankawa of an intellectual icon. A historian and a teacher whom devoted his life to knowledge, teaching, writing and church service.
An icon whom his work is so invaluable for many generations to come.
Not only he was a devoted father that raised successful and accomplished children, but also he has left Ankawa with precious documented history that without him would have been lost. We know if it wasn’t for aging and illness, his work would have continue relentlessly. He lived a rich life, served his people and his hometown, left a legacy that will keep him alive.
His passing in flesh, but not in soul and impact, he will be alive with us through all of you, his children, and his work.
Please accept our deepest sympathy, and we ask God to give the courage to continue on his footprint.
On behalf of my mother and all my siblings.
