13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
We thank God for the opportunity to celebrate the life of Grabdpa Ben. Thank you for the impact and legacy you left with your family. See you soon

March 6, 2019

I shouldn't have viewed those pictures, yet I am glad I did. Powerful impactful, yet sweet memories rushed through my being. Frankly, I tried so hard to keep the tears back. GREAT UNCLE never to be forgotten.
I love you Uncle Ben. Love is all there is. It is the beginning and continuity of life in the greater beyond.

September 9, 2018

Bami Beeni!

You would have been 81 today if you had still been here with us. But now, you've been gone over four years, and I rejoice in hope, knowing that we will be reunited again in Heaven someday, where you now reside in your mansion so bright.

Your memory remains ever blessed.

Rest on beloved dad.

Your daughter,
Mope

4 years and it still feels you are here. The impact you made in our lives live with us forever... cos You live forever in our hearts!

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, write, 'blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on, yes, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their labours, for their deeds follow after them..rest on Papa!

March 6, 2018

Uncle Ben....your soul will continue to rest peacefully,amen

March 6, 2018

We miss you dad - your voice, warmth, love, the joy and peace you exude. I can almost still hear your voice, yet you've been gone 4 years!

Such a joy to know you now rest in the bosom of the Lord - free from all life's labours.

Love you forever dad.

March 6, 2018

Dearest Dad,

It’s almost impossible to believe that 4 years have already gone by, since you left us and crossed over to the other side. We take consolation in the fact that you are rejoicing at the feet of CHRIST, where there is no more sorrow, but joy everlasting.

Being now part of the great cloud of witnesses cheering us on, we too shall make it in the name of Jesus.

Forever in our hearts dearest dad.

Love always,
Titi

September 9, 2017

Daddy Dear Daddy,

You would have been 80 today & we most likely would have been over at your place celebrating your milestone. We celebrate you even in death, for we know of a certainty that you are alive, only not here physically with us.

Continue to enjoy your well deserved rest in the presence of our Father.

We love & miss you still dad. You live forever in our hearts.

Your Daughter,
Mopelola

September 9, 2017

Dearest Dad,

I woke up this morning to see that my phone had sent a reminder of your 80th birthday! However, you are not here on this planet to celebrate it, but on the other side - where everlasting joy and peace abound, with no pain or sorrow. Rest on in the bosom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Till we meet again at the feet of Christ. You'll forever be in our hearts.

Love you dad.

Your very own daughter,
Titilola

September 9, 2017

We thank God for another year not mourning but celebrating the life of what would have been 80 years. All glory to God for the life you lived and the beautiful children you and grandma raised. See you guys soon!

September 9, 2017

March 8, 2017

I look at you and I sigh,....Uncle you will never be forgotten neither will God Almighty forsake you....
May your soul Rest In Peace.
Love ❤️ Uncle Ben

March 7, 2017

You are forever missed daddy! You indeed left too soon! The fun memories will always remind me of the wonderful life you lived and the exemplary life you led. Love you forever or always, whichever comes first!

March 6, 2017

We do not mourn, but we celebrate a wonderful life lived. We love you Grandpa!

September 9, 2016

Darling Dad,

We miss you still. You would have been 79 today but we know you'd rather spend time with the Lord rejoicing in His presence than have a share of what would have been your birthday cake.

Keep resting in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ until we meet again at His appearing. Even so come Lord Jesus.

Loving You - Your Daughter,
Mopelola

September 9, 2016

It would have been your 79th birthday Dad!

Your grandsons here says happy birthday Grandpa in Heaven!

We miss you!

Love always.

September 9, 2016

Dearest Dad,

I remembered your birthday today, but rather than placing a call to you (which was not possible), I said a prayer in my heart – that God will give us all the grace to finish well like you did.

I look forward to seeing you again, dad. Rest on in the bosom of our dear Lord.

We love & miss you dearly.

Your daughter,
Titilola

September 9, 2016

Ade Afon

Dad,it is very difficult for me to believe that it is two years since you departed this terrestrial atmosphere as no single day passes without reference to you and your good works thus keeping your memory vibrant alive.I am happy because of Rev.7:15b.Continue to rest in perfect peace

March 6, 2016

Daddy dearest,

The second anniversary of your passage coincides with Mothers' Day - a day that would have also been mum's birthday on this side of eternity.
We remember you both with fondness and gratitude to God for the good legacies you left behind. We are comforted that you both rest in the bosom of the Lord, free from all of life's toils. Rest on beloved parents, until we meet at the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Indeed "the memory of the just is blessed: - Prov. 10:7

Love you forever ...

Born to Inspire: Valued Education

April 18, 2014

"Daddy Shellclub" as he was known by those of us from Ile-Oluji obviously loved children and valued education. You could be sure he would always ask you about school if you are around him as a kid. Better still, you better be prepared to be drilled on your times table: "What is 4x8", he would drill, and before you could respond, here come another from him....

An inspiration indeed, and one that propelled those of us from the village to aspire to seek education as he would want for all children. Your inspiration lives on Daddy Shell club.
