Andrew my Brother. My Heart Bleeds, it Bleeds bro.
You were an angel, ever ready to give a helping hand. You never deserved any minute of Pain, not even a second of it.
The world became your stage, you took South Africa by storm - SUSSENS MANN FASHEDEMI COMPANY (PR COMPANY). You were the face of this company.
We took a bold step together, left for SA after independence. Our resources got us a place in Parktown, JHB.
Aunty Rose, Andrews mum and her siblings took very good care of us God rest her Soul.
One of the nights we could not sleep, serious shooting from nearby Hill brow.
That night you told me, Bros, this is the least we will go in this sojourn.
God heard you, things opened up, you got into Sussens Mann, you stunned them in your first few weeks.
Sade and the boys joined us.
Sussens Mann Fashedemi was birthed, we moved to Randburg, you bought a brand new Mazda 626, we were on the roll. From the volatile Jhb taxis to Tear rubber.
We started a private company run by me CREDIBLE SOURCE. We were poised to act as facilitators between South African and Nigerian Business interests .
Unfortunately, things went South immediately after Ken Saro Wiwa was killed. Hopes dashed.
Pressure mounted and I broke down one day, you looked at me and said Bros, I always wondered what you were made of.
Larry, you used your contacts and got me into IBM.
I was emotional the day I got the employment.
I will always cherish your love for me.
Larry, five years ago I heard you took ill, I was not man enough to see you in any other state than the ebullient moving train, that I know.
Each time we heard each others voices on the phone we always broke down in tears.
Larry, you impacted a lot of lives, you feared and served God, and you love Sade and the boys immensely.
Larry, mo dupe pupo, you took me from childhood as your Egbon and you proved that all your life.
NEVER CAN I FORGET YOU!
FOLASHADE, DUROTOLU AND TEMILOLU, GOD BLESS YOU . YOU TOOK GOOD CARE OF MY BROTHER.
Larry's soul will never leave you, he will always watch over you.
SADE, o ku isè, Olorun a San e ni èsan réré.
Yele, Linda and the entire Fashedemi clan I feel your pain.
God bless you and console you all.
Goodnight my dear Aburo, Sleep Well. You deserve the rest.
