Dear Mike,
We all miss you, I personally miss your kindness, I know you always with a smiling face.
Mike, we feel that are still here with us, discussing about the life, and bout your project in Ghana, especially in your farm and thehouse lighting with solar energy. I remember all that, and will never forget your phone when you were in London calling me to wish me Aid Mubarak.
I never forget that, you were special person, I belive that. We are truly sorry for your loss.
May the soul of the dearly departed rest in peace, may my prayers help guide you on your journey to our Creator. Abdallah Baba

A year already! Lit a candle to you and your much loved Tante Kwafoa this weekend. Smiled and remembered both of you and your mischiefs. It is well, it is well with my soul. Much love, Sandra

It's hard to believe that a whole year has gone by and you are missed as though your passing was yesterday. Be at peace Michael, your beautiful spirit and warm personality are unforgettable. You will always be in our hearts.

Couz: Happy birthday!
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Michael's soul, through the mercy of God, continue to rest in peace.

Tonton Michael.... Tu nous manques!!! Forever in our memories.. Rest in Peace....

Tonton Michael…….
A year has flown by and one can hardly believe you are gone, gone forever…… YOU ARE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS!!!
A year ago I wrote this………
You are at peace and it is well.
What a blessing you were to all the people you knew. 
Such a humble man who gave, and gave and gave!! I remember a couple of years ago, I was trying to pack some pictures in Tunis for my son Senyo to take to London for me, I could not get a carton into which the pictures would fit properly. Uncle Dotse and I searched and searched, then Uncle Dotse said, let me call Michael… You said, I will look around and get back to you! Within half an hour, your Jeep was packed outside our place then you came out with these cartons.. the pictures fitted perfectly; when we asked where/how did you get the odd size cartons? You just smiled and said, you see, I knew these will be useful one day, I bought them, and had them for a long time, now … you see… they are useful! That was Tonton Michael.
You were a joy to anyone who came into contact with you! Always gentle, always kind, and the very best, and quintessentially British!!! My sisters and nieces who only met you once at my birthday do in Accra were shocked and said, ohh, uncle Mike, that very nice man? How is this possible?
Tonton Michael, a gentleman who had great taste, always polite, always gentle, a man with great appetite and made every meal look as if it came from a Michelin star restaurant! Even when he was on no salt, no pepper diet at clinic La Soukra, Tunis, he will tell us the food is great!!! Philo Coompson and I would ask, Tonton Mike, how can you say a salt and pepper free chicken or meat stew or soup is ‘very nice’; and you would just laugh and say, ‘look at my plate I have polished it off’, and indeed you would have finished the whole plate!!!
We miss you so much! We miss your calls…. Tantie JUUUDITH, the way you prolong the name. our occasional Sunday lunches; the way you turn to Kofi in church and say to him, Kofi, tantie Judith has just sent a text, ‘lunch is sorted, now concentrate on the sermon’!
You bore pain with dignity, and always put on a smile and tell people, I am fine, when you are not! I remember Easter Sunday, when we visited you, you were in bed, obviously in pain but chatted for the whole time, all the plans for the future, - the Bushmaster, our retreat and relaxation spot in Aburi! All the pictures showing the progress of the project, going through each of them, telling story after story of the pictures, and your passion for the house! You said, I will be on the mountain and call you to come up from the valley in Michael Camp, as food is ready, then we can have our chilled beer, wine and have some mangoes for dessert! Little did we know that was going to be our very last proper chat – It was hard when Kofi call us at dawn the following day that uncle Mike is not very well. We prayed for your recovery, we prayed to God to take care of you.
Yes, none of us expected you to leave so quickly, it was ‘like joke’ using the Ghanaian parlance! You slipped away peacefully and were looking particularly handsome!
Your memorial service in Tunis and your send off at Cartharge airport is testimony of how highly you were regarded. The coach loads of friends and colleagues who came to bid you farewell on your journey home to Ghana. Grown men weeping uncontrollably, some hiding their tears under sunglasses!! I don’t think ADB has ever seen anything like this or will ever see this. You touched countless number of people.
Tonton Mike, Rest in Perfect and well deserved Peace. He de nyuie! Mawu ne yra wo!
Tantie JUUUDITH (Judith OFORI)

Oga Mike as you are fondly called by my hubby. How time flies its already 1yr. As we all continue to remember and cherish the good times we shared we pray that the good Lord will continue to guard and protect the family you left behind.
We shall continue to remember you.

En cette journée anniversaire de ton départ pour l’autre monde, je garderai toujours en mémoire l'image de toi toujours aussi joviale, ta générosité et ta joie de vivre qui sont et resteront pour moi et pour plusieurs d’entre nous un exemple. Je souhaite qu'au milieu de ces larmes, nous puissions esquisser un sourire de fierté en nous disant : "c'était quelqu'un de bien, mon cher frère Mike".
Repose en Paix.

Dear Mike,

The tears have actually stopped pouring by the bucket but they have not quite dried up yet .... one sad year has passed since you slipped into eternity; full of living of course, as I believe you'd have wished - births and deaths; laughter; dancing; eating; falling out and making up; attending church; returning to Abidjan and so on - but sadder for your no longer being a physical presence, a human voice; your chuckle, now an eternal audible silence ....

I went to Aburi and I saw and now, I can appreciate your dream. The far away look as your face lit up when you described your vision for the place ... you are there, resting, forever at peace. 

You are missed, Michael, but the uplifting memories of exemplary integrity and selflessness; of your infectious and mirthful sense of humour; of your dignity remain, ever vivid.

The 'family' will convene to reminisce and celebrate your life. Sleep on in perfect peace mate.

Babatunde!

Coucou mon ami je suis sûre que tu es sous un cocotier entouré par des amis en buvant une bière comme tu me l'avais toujours dit à propos de ta retraite. Tu n'es jamais parti tu resteras toujours permis nous avec ton sourire ta générosité et ta bonne éducation il n'y aura jamais ton égal.repose en paix mon ami

My dear Friend, my Dear big Brother Michael,
I knew that you were sick but for me the worst was behind us.
When I saw you last October in Tunis after many years, you were just the Michael I have always known  : Smiling, friendly, positive attitude, encouraging and carrying.
Each time I have the feeling that I couldn't make it in my life, I am thinking about what you used to tell me : " Kadi, please be patient, God is with you, just focus & pray, the rest will come from his end"
You were right indeed. Michael, you are a Son of God and to him you have returned my Dear Friend. May God bless you with a restful peace in the other world.
We will miss you forever

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

My Ital Brother has passed - Hallelujah
I'll remember you my kind gentle giant  - epitome of spirit first and effortless humanity.

Mr. Michael was a great friend for me since 2007. I meet Mr. Michael when he was searching for Solar Energy Components to be installed at his home country. From that time, he became my real friend.
Mr. Michael, I miss you so much, we spent excellent time together in Tunis discussing for building your dream, the solar lighting systems at your home, also, for your colleagues. You asked me several to make design and installation kits for solar lighting systems for your colleagues and for several African countries.
You were very friendly, you loved all people working with you. Your supported all your colleagues.
I remember you all the time smiling, I never forget you, when you called me from London at our Aid Muslim occasion, and I was very sad, when you informed me about your health. I pried for you and asking God for you.
Michael, thanks for knowing you, may you rest in peace.

Yes, we will forever miss you, Monsieur Kwafo. RIP

Dearest Michael, you made a strong impression all those years ago when we first met when Ellen was a young student, and you continued to be this dignified, charismatic elder brother. Your warmth and ease of personality will be missed and my heartfelt sympathy to Ellen, Fred and the rest of your family.
