Going through old papers I stumbled upon a reference written for me by Dr. Nwokorie when I was a senior at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. Curious as to his current whereabouts, I Googled his name and found this memorial to him. Reading the tributes confirmed that this truly is the same man! Dr. Nwokorie was certainly one of the best, if not the best teacher I ever had. But beyond that he was a kind, generous man who manifested a true love of life and knowledge. I echo CeCe's words, He "will be here forever in my heart."

Farewell to Thee! But not farewell
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me.
Life seems more sweet that Thou didst live
And men more true Thou wert one;
Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,
Nothing destroyed that Thou hast done.
To all my fondest thoughts of Thee;
Within my heart they still shall dwell
And they shall cheer and comfort me.

Nothing is lost that Thou didst give,

Happy is the man who found Jesus, when his journey on earth is over, his passing is gain. I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread.
Daddy Nwokorie you have moved to a higher place answering the greatest call of all, Peace

Ibo culture
November 10, 2023
by Sandy Sikora
When I was a student at East Stroudsburg State College in Dr. Nwokorie's class, I believe he mentioned that he is of Ibo descent. Today I was reading "Hidden in Plain Sight," a book about the Underground Railroad by Jacqueline L. Tobin and Raymond G. Dobard. In Chapter two there is a paragraph telling the story of a boatload of slaves "from the Ibo culture in West Africa. These slaves, in the year 1822, took a look at what awaited them onshore, linked arms, and waded back into the Atlantic saying, 'Water brought us and water's gonna take us away.' These slaves from Iboland were determined to either walk back to their homeland or die trying. Today, on St. Simons Island, Georgia, a location known as Ibo Landing serves as a reminder to African descendants of these Ibo peoples and of the spirit of resistance inherent in their ancestors. "I wonder if Dr. Nwokorie knew of this story!
Early recollections

Ndidi, my early remembrance of your Dad is when we visited your home in Umuahia. He appeared stern at first, then I realized he loved a good joke and was quick to laugh. Very interesting combination!
I remember the delicious "ofe ugboro" that I ate for the first time ever at your home. Fresh okro soup eaten with freshly made oil from the palm. Wonderful!
May the Lord bless, comfort and strengthen you, your Mom and all your siblings. His grace is sufficient!
