Tribute To My Brother And Friend Joe Appiah By Kwasi Boafo

I met Joe Appiah at the Electrical department of the then Ashanti Goldfields Corporation in the year 1977 and in no time we mutually nurtured our acquaintance into a friendship which had drawn me into his family with the consent of his father, papa Asempa, his mother maame Grace Abena Kwabena aka Ogray and all his siblings both far and near who collectively accepted me wholeheartedly into their family. Within months, the whole village of Adinkra had recognized me, with some inhabitants referring to me as Ogray ba panyin to wit: Ogray's first born. This recognition endeared me to the family and by extension the village so much so that I virtually became a native of Adinkra and have remained so till date, courtesy Joe Appappi Jay as I affectionately called him.

today I stand here to pay tribute to the one I called a brother. Brother Joe Appiah was a kind, caring and passionate person. These attributes were reflected in his

He was a walking sunshine of truth, humour, friendship and understanding. We grieve with the many who have known him in his life. We mourn with a world that must reckon with his death. May he rest well in the bosom of his maker till we meet with Jesus on His glorious second coming. Fare thee well.

Amen

Marcus Tullius Cicero once said “The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.”

My heart is filled with immense pain and sadness over the unimaginable loss of my close friend and business partner Joseph Appiah whom I affectionately called Joe Appiah.
