me. I will miss our maths lessons, where you made me excel in the subject with your simple teaching methods. I will also miss the rides to and from school, and the love and affection you showed us. You were the best grandpa ever! Even when you were sick, you still called me on my birthday to wish me a happy birthday; that was the last time I spoke to you. I appreciate everything you did for me and wish to see you again. The last time I saw you smile was on your 65th birthday at the Chinese restaurant. I'll never forget how you danced with everyone including grandma.

When we dropped you at the airport to go to the US and took a picture, I didn't think you would not come back healthy. I had faith in God that we would spend t i m e t o g e t h e r a g a i n I w a s s o heartbroken when I heard the sad news. It was very hard for me to experience that and I was very sad deep down in my heart but I know you still are the loving, kind and amazing person you once were. Deep down in my heart, I know you love me and I love you back. Grandpa, I will miss you very much but I know we will meet again and I know you are in a good place. Grandpa, see you again in heaven. GRANDPA REST, AND REST WELL.

Kobby: You were the best grandpa and I will never replace you. Grandpa, you were an exceptional teacher, especially in mathematics. You made learning easy and helped me understand the concepts I struggled with. Your guidance and support went beyond academics and extended to my passion for football. Though you won't be able to witness my success, I hope you are proud of me. You instilled in us a strong work ethic and the value of education by ensuring we went to bed early and assisting with homework. You would bring out your belt when we refused to go to bed and we would run into our room to sleep.

Your dedication and care will always be cherished, like the time you brought me my forgotten homework folder at school. Your 65th birthday celebration remains a fond memory; seeing you dance and smile filled me with joy. I will miss you. There's no grandpa like you. Thank you for everything. Rest in peace dear grandpa.

Friday, December 16, 2022, remains a sad day in our memories simply because this was the day you left us and placed a dark cloud around us.

Daa, as I call you, you were a big pillar we all leaned on Your warm-hearted persona made us feel so comfortable around you You cared and were so concerned about the well-being of everyone, including my family. Your pieces of advice will be sadly missed.

Daa, you treated me as your biological son and, in fact, introduced me as one of your sons to your friends and business associates any time we met them in a meeting or at an event Your great personal relations and your admirable sense of humour 'removed' all my nervousness when I met you for the first time in Manchester, UK, during one of your business visits and as a to-be sonin-law, chatting with you in a car on our way home, felt like you had met and known me for years.

I couldn't thank you enough for all the help and support you gave my family and me, including taking and picking up my children to and from school and helping them with their homework. Daa, you made impossible things possible, inspired me greatly, and positively touched many lives. I couldn't have had a better Dad-in-law, and I am so happy to call you my dad and feel so proud to be your son-in-law

My wife, your daughter, and I and the entire family know that you fought long and hard to be with us. We also know you are resting well with your maker and watching over us. Although we cannot hear your voice and see your smiling face, we know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us.
