Uncle May your beautiful soul forever rest in peace
I always remember you with a smile on my face
A dapper gentleman to the core ! Always smiling ! And I could never fault that bow tie

Dearest Dr. Akinocho,

I received the news this morning of your demise and I am at a loss of words. You always had a huge smile and kind words for everyone. As a little girl, I remember attending every eye appointment I had with excitement because it was an opportunity to visit with my favorite doctor and I was sure to earn a lollipop or treat at the end of each clinic visit.
You were so blessed yet humble. I recall your words of advice when I visited you with my husband shortly after our wedding.

You have earned your place and joined the heavenly choir. God rest your soul sir.
You'll be forever missed!!

Remembering my role model and grandpa ❤️

Still remember you Grandpa ❤️❤️

Wow, I am just reading this now, Baba was my Doctor, he and his beautiful daughters. I got all my glasses from Jss1 till I got cured from the head syndrome.

What a powerful legacy. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

Adieu our family Opthalmologist.

I had hoped it was goodnight and not good bye....my Dearest Uncle...Suave ..Dapper..."A Dear and Glorious Physcian'' I

One year.....
Fond thoughts.
Rest in Peace Papa x

You are fondly remembered today Grandpa. Rest on Grandpa... Rest on... Hmm...

One year past I remember my extra ordinary grandpa ❤️

Sometimes I still ask " Is it true?"

Missing you loads my loving uncle.Could not roll back tears .But I know you are in the bossom of your creator .The Lord will continue to console the whole family with your absence ,Uncle sleep in perfect peace .you deserve. Your children and grandchildren miss you greatly too Rest in perfect peace .

I remember you today as I always remember you with a phone call on your birthday. Now that you are in the bosom of your creator continue to rest in perfect peace Uncle . Your niece Gbemisola.

Dr Akinocho was a good and caring man. A great doctor one that will surely be missed. To the entire family , I pray the lord comforts you now and always. He truly was a rare and gifted gem, x

I am thankful to the Lord for the chance to know Doctor Akinocho, Siohban's dad. I met Siohban in the University of Benin and our friendship brought me close to the family. As his manner is he welcomed me to the family and I spent vacation times and weekends with Siohban in their house. I was treated as family. He was a natural mentor, he would use orange and explain to us facts about the eyes as we were Optometric students at the time on the kitchen table. We look forward to Christmas party at St. Edmunds a tradition, and other inbetween joyful gatherings. We shared the word of God with him and had many bible studies together. He was like the uncle I never had. He gave me insights to possible fields of studies to explore at a time I was challenged with a path forward. The last time I saw him was in 2011 when I was invited to a family from reunion get together at Pepi's house in Baltiomre from New York by Siohban.
I am grateful that the Lord gave him time on earth to enjoy the labour of his hands and the joy of grand children. I knew his senior sisters Mrs Majekodumi and Mrs Pearce and learnt to kneel when we greet them as I do as Siohban do ( see I am Ibo) so it was not normal for me. But no sweat I fitted in. Dr. Akinosho respected everyone his driver, cooks and workers in general.They all loved him too. His example is worthy of emulation.
It is with a great sense of loss but gratitude to God that I join many to celebrate his life and his work that still lives on. I am strongly persuaded he is resting in the bosom of Abraham. I am certain the Lord is taking great care of him as he took special care of his patients, family, children and anyone who was within his sphere. I salute the memory of Dr. Akinosho and his legacy.

I used to look forward to spending holidays in your house at Surulere; you were a great mentor and I felt privileged to have been under your influence and tutelage.
You were such a wonderful human being!

The earth lost a gem, and heaven gained an angel.

Rest In Perfect Peace Sir!

Our deepest condolences to you all, Siobhan, Ayo, Labode, Pepi, Dayo and all the family. We remember your dad with great fondness. He was a true intellectual, a distinguished and dapper man, with his signature bow ties and hats! He was a true gentleman. May his noble soul rest in perfect peace in Christ. Amen. - Tunde & Morenike Adebusuyi

Tribute to Dr Akinocho

Long before I started working at St Edmund’s, I used to admire Dr Akinosho from afar when I would see him at various ophthalmology fora and was pleased when I got to know him personally as I became a doctor in his hospital.
I have a learned a lot from his simplicity, humility, generosity and steadfastness to his core values and belief in the Almighty God.
He was a great father, teacher and friend. He was a fine gentleman even in his old age. He made me feel at home in St Edmund's and always encouraged me to be a better version myself.
I will always be grateful to God to have been your friend while you were still here on earth. Alas I was like a child born to a father when no one was expecting me. I am happy to be counted among the many children you have impacted and counselled giving me the arsenal to be able to weather the storms of this life.
Papa you are sorely missed and you have left us quietly just like your gentle self but I would rather take solace that you are resting happy in the bosom of the Lord.
Adieu! Till we meet again Papa. Thank you for being my friend.

My dear uncle Biola..
Your death came as shock to us all, it’s like we felt you’d be amongst us for longer still.
I remember your kindness and one of my fondest memories was as a child when I was obsessed with people’s cheeks and you would always indulge me when everyone else would drive me away; not once or twice but every time I was in your company. I remember always stopping by at yours with my mum on our way home from primary school.. je kin ya wo Biola. Your sisters loved you dearly and you loved them back. When I think of you now, it is the picture of you in your army uniform.. you looked really dashing in that photo. I can go on and on .. marine road memories were a delight when you had all those parties..
Uncle, I may not have seen you often because of life’s pressures, in these later days but I thought of you always with love.
Your sister Arinola is running commentary non stop about your lives together ... I wish her God’s peace at this time. I wish all my cousins God’s peace and all those who loved my uncle and he loved in return, I wish God’s peace and strength.

It's a blessing to our generation to have had a man like you as a uncle, father and grandfather. A very generous man, he was always ready to help during my family's trials, we will forever miss you daddy.

Goodbye to a wonderful, kind and attentive gentleman. Uncle Biola was always cheerful, welcoming and he was never too busy to find time for people. His warm nature and loving smile will remain in my heart for ever. I am profoundly honoured to have known this lovely man and supremely blessed to be counted amongst his family and friends. 

I must also thank and congratulate Dr Ayo and Dayo, their brother, Labode, and sisters Siobhan and Modupe for working together to successfully plan and execute the beautiful, dignified and serene send off for Uncle, as today was.  May the Almighty continue to bless all of you and your families.

My first recollection of Dr. Akinocho was in the late seventies. He showed up at our gate at 3B Polo Road Ikoyi, on foot, in courduroy trousers, a not fully buttoned up shirt, a flat top cap, a scarf around his neck and a male wallet tucked into his armpit asking for my mom, the dreaded Mrs Kafaru (whom he fondly called “principal”). I took a good look at him like my mother’s child and wondered how in the world he knew my mom!! Mom was not in so I took his card and told him that I’d pass his message on which I did.

Some months later, I visited Quanta Qualia with mom and saw him there and he had this twinkle in his eyes and just kept laughing as he narrated to mom how I looked at him when he showed up at our gate. A few years later in 1982, he prescribed my first pair of glasses and I am still short sighted till this day.

Over the years, Dr. Akinocho became close to my family, showing us just so much kindness and generosity that he was well known for. He always looked out for principal and her kids and was the chairman at my wedding in 1996. The last time I saw him was in September 2019 when I visited Nigeria. Mom went for her eye checkup and I spent some time with the good doctor. He told me about his previous surgeries and how glad he was to be alive. He asked how long ago I had been to the clinic and he showed me the extension next door. I didn’t realize that would be my last time of seeing him.

I am glad to have know Dr. Akinocho and even more glad that he knew Jesus. I know that principal will miss her gisting buddy. I pray for God’s strength and comfort for Sis Siobhan, Sis Ayo, Labode, Pepi and all the members of the family. May those fond memories keep you strong.

Kemi Akosa-Ofili (née Kafaru)

Dear Uncle Biola,

My memories of you are of a truly kind man who loved God. Every encounter with you was impressionable and always positive. I'm grateful for your many kindness to me.

You will be sorely missed, my consolation is that you are with your Creator, a place of utmost peace and bliss. For this, I am truly grateful.

Rest in peace Sir, your legacy remains and thrives.

Bukola Alao K.

I meet Dr. Akinocho in 1993 at St. Edmund's Eye clinic surulere. I came into that clinic with depression. As a young lady l felt so alone in the whole world and yet had been diagnosed with eyes disease that looks set to deprive me of my comfort and my sight.

Daddy received me into the very warm family of the entire St. Edmund's family. The Christian fellowship meetings engaged in at St Edmund's eyes Clinic created a very peaceful aura that calms my troubled soul whenever l visited. Everyone there received me-Dr Elyon, Dr Ayo, Pepi and all others. I came in to the clinic and left as l wished.

Dr Akinocho managed my case till he got a very good report about my sight. Though he handed me over to Dr Elyon to manage me for contact lenses use, he continued to give me the fatherly counsel l so much lacked and longed for.

I would later meet the Lord that same year. Our talks became more enriched and engaging as we talked about my new birth. That relationship more than all else is what made me appoint him as the chairman during my wedding in 1997.

I remember when l saw him at his 80th birthday, l had said to him "daddy l will be back for your 90th birthday" he just laughed in a way that said "no".

Now he is gone before his 90th. I am assured that daddy lived a selfless life indeed. I thank God for my years in St Edmund's eyes clinic. It was all because daddy made it possible.

Accept the condolences of the entire otoabasi akpan family all

Daddy is truly rested with the Lord, we shall see him again. No matter how long he would have lived. He would still have been missed by all.
Allow him now to rest. Do not let your hearts be troubled. You still have Jesus as your Father and comfort. We shall see Dr Akinocho again at the feet of Jesus.
Shalom

Always kind and gentle, my forever stylish grand-uncle. You will be missed dearly. We will take care of your sister, don't you worry. Rest in Peace

A battle well fought and a battle well won ,you will be greatly missed for your fatherly councils. We love you but God loves you more. Continue to rest peacefully in the bosom of the Lord. From the Ekpo 's, Mrs Funmi Alao's daughter Toyin Ekpo

Tribute read at Dad's funeral by Pepi.

There are Dads and Daddies! I'll say our Dad excelled them all. It was truly a blessing to have him as a father.

He taught us principles and values.
He taught us to accept others regardless of who they were.
He taught us to believe the best in others.
He was a friend to all. A quintessential gentleman indeed. The 'Doctor with the bow tie'!

He was very kind and generous to all, even to a fault, and this made him a prime target to vultures, who sought to devour him and his essence along his journey in the School of Life.

His gentle, quiet and accommodating nature was exploited by the few who did not value and treat him right. Yet, this very nature was the wind that enabled him to sail successfully across the Ocean of Life...

Nonetheless, he was loved and cherished by many too numerous to mention. He is now at rest with the One who loves him unconditionally.

Daddy you are now enjoying eternity in perfect peace with the One who truly loved you and has called you back home, the Lord Jesus Christ.

I leave you with his favorite saying: " All will be well. All is well."...

I would remember with so much fondness his love and care for our family He was a good friend and big brother to my mum .one who could be relied on,always ready with a smile and a kind word .in my mum's word when he passed on ( I just lost a good friend one of his kind)
On behalf of the family may his kind and gentle soul rest in peace

Many years ago as a fresh faced Medical Student I met you through Ayo. Looking back, I don't know how Ayo & I got on like a house on fire but we just did.
My house in Iwo Road Ibadan was Ayo's Ibadan house and her house in Surulere then Omole my Lagos house. I was part of your family as Ayo was of mine. Siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins knew each other and embraced each other. The history of Ma Dee's Poultry Farm evolving, Ayo was an important part of. Thanks to mummy, my house was always open you all, as thanks to you Papa, yours was open to mine, kith and kin.
As always with life, we graduated, grew up, went our separate ways but the love and fondness never faded...

I got into Ophthalmology by default. Going to Quanta Qualia Eye Clinic latterly St Edmund's (unique logo by the way...) after work to meet up with Ayo before travelling to Omole, while she went to the clinic, I went upstairs to teach myself how to type, not remotely interested in Ophthalmology!
For me Ophthalmology was indeed by default.... Plastic surgery was my 1st choice but I had to go through General surgery then subspecialise... Hmm, for me a problem as I hated blood and gore! So next best was Ophthalmology and Papa, who everyone knows loved his profession with a passion and was always very keen to teach it and get everyone into Ophthalmology, stoked my interest. Typing lessons became clinic tuitions after my session in a private general clinic ( strict as ever I must add, no favours) and then my Ophthalmolo training in Luth. I still went to the clinic in Ojuelegba sometimes when I could to help out. But then I travelled unplanned to Glasgow for a 1 year course in Ophthalmology but then stayed on. Here I dwell many years later!
As with many tales in life, the rest as they say is history!

Papa will be remembered with great fondness by all my family members who met him. Mummy, sisters. Always quietly extroverted. Work was work and relaxing after that was just that. Eating, drinking, regaled with tales from the past. Even though latterly meeting up was few and far between, each time we did was always just like yesterday...

Anyone who met Papa was made to feel uniquely special. He had love for people, respectful and humble. Papa taught the value if life. Work hard but enjoy work. Also as importantly, take time out to enjoy and value life after work. Never angry, words of wisdom, quiet smile.
Will we miss you? Yes we will! Fondly by my family, kith and kin.

'Papa' as you are fondly known, Rest in Peace. Amen 

I first met Dr Abiola Akinocho on my return from post graduate studies in the UK in 2003. We hit it off straight away because we had the same first name. Knowing Labode (his son) and Esigbemi was the icing on the cake.
A father and role model to ophthalmologists, gentle and soft spoken and he knew how to tell a story. At my last visit to him which was supposed to be for 30 minutes, it lasted for 6 hours and ended up with me accompanying him to a function and going home with a choice bottle of wine.
It has been my honour and privilege associating with the Akinocho family and I easily see Dr Abiola Akinocho has left a great legacy behind.

Sun Re Papa.

Dr Abiola Oyeleye

My Darling Uncle... Enjoy The PRESENCE OF THE LORD JESUS till we meet again to Part No More!  - Tokunbo (Akappo) Gregory

Dear Labode and Esi,

Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your beloved father/father in law. He was such a charmer, a dapper gentleman.

He was an accomplished doctor who set up his eye hospital many many years ago. The first time I (Sade) ever saw the inside of an ambulance was the one from Quanta Qualia (now St Edmund’s Hospital).

Your father was a lovely man with a lovely smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was a very cool dad and grandpa. He loved dancing. I remember watching him dance to “ I feel good” by James Brown several years ago, at your wedding. His steps showed he was a skilled dancer in his youth.

Labode, we all know how close you were to your dad. We give thanks to God for the beautiful memories you and your siblings have of him. He will be in your hearts forever

Your dear father has gone to rest. He lived a long, beautiful and fruitful life and was greatly loved by his children and grandchildren.

He will be sorely missed by all.

May the precious soul of Dr Edmund Abiola Akinocho, your beloved father rest in perfect peace. Amen

Sade & Kenneth Onyia

Papa, You are dear friends father. A father with a great heart. A joy to chat with, full of wisdom and knowledge. An admirable authority in the medical profession. A leading Ophthalmologist. Papa we will all miss you. It wont be the same, the visits to Omole with Ayo and the chats we would all have with you. I thank God fior your life for it is richly blessed and you were a great blessing to many. Eyin baba ti da o. I know you have gone to rest. You have won the race of life. Resting in Jesus Christ. The lord will comfort you all.

A rare gem is gone. Daddy, your type is rare. You are a role model. You were an example of humility. You were simple, selfless and easy going person. Which you impacted on your children. You were a good father to your children. You were a lover of GOD and his work. Which you supported so much. You were there for less privileged who could not afford their medical bills. You impacted your world so positively. Your medical professional calling was a huge blessing to humanity. Imagine the lives and souls St Edmunds eye hospital has saved. Daddy the world you affected will miss you. I and my two boys will miss you .you did not keep your life for yourself alone. You contributed to many. You have worked rest in peace Dr Abiola Akinoshò

Dr Akinocho or doctor as fondly called, was one of the very few men in his age bracket that I call big boy. A highly admired man in his profession, what a perfect gentleman with a character that commanded respect! Always in good spirit, easy going, smiling and a friendly in-law. You will be missed but cannot be forgotten. Rest in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Daddy I know you will remember me because you remember Precious things. I am a grandmother figure to your great granddaughter Beulah a sister of her Grandad the late Gbenga Fatodu.. I met you for the first time in UK a couple of years ago when we met for the reasons that you know. You were charming, humble and kind. You made me feel so at home I actually felt I'd known you all my life. You are the reason why our families have unified. My only regret is that you did not meet my own father. I know you and him would have hit it off splendidly although at 93 he would have teased you that you are a boy to him. When I told you this we laughed . I know that your spirit is in heavenly places partying with the angels which is why we can't complain that God took you back home. But you will be sorely missed here because you are so much loved from the bottom of our hearts. The maternal family (Fatodu and Adebayo) of your great granddaughter thank you for all you did for her when you were alive and the wonderful role model you have been for her. I will teach her not to expect anything less from a man in her own life when she is of age to choose. Please watch over us and petition the Lord for us when we need help . I pray our families remain united for the sake of your Descendants to come. God loves you more Sir so Adios .

Tribute to Dr Edmund Abiola Akinocho
A Man of Outstanding Qualities

Where O death is your victory?
Where O death is your sting?

My early recollection of meeting Dr Akinocho (fondly called Doctor by us) was when my late husband Francis Okanlawon Akinosho introduced me to him. That was about 50 years ago. There was an unbelievable connection and his warm disposition towards me was a great welcome to the family.
Unfortunately, my husband died suddenly, and l was in despair. When l thought all was lost, Dr Akinocho stepped up and became my new best friend and confidante. He was compassionate, loving and caring to us. Dr Akinocho was a rock of support for me and my children Sanmi and Wale Akinosho. He 'got our back'.
Dr Akinocho's unrelentless interest in my family was a constant reassurance that God would see us through the tragedy.
When we relocated to the US, Doctor would find time to visit with us. Those fun times remain in our memories.
Doctor lives forever in our hearts and is greatly missed.
Rest in Perfect Peace
‘Thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
Ruth, Sanmi, and Wale Akinosho

"I've learned that people will forget what you've said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

The Quote above is a personification of Daddy Akinocho
Daddy Akinocho was a kind, loving , generous and caring father.
He treated children that were not biologically his like one of his own. I am a recipient of that kindness and it was an honour knowing this God fearing father.
At any point in time , he was ready to come to anyone's level just to make the person comfortable, no matter your age.
He always had lovely advices delivered in such a sensitive and profound way.
I reflect and say, Daddy Akinocho........very, very much loved and will definitely be sorely missed.
I will never forget how you always made me feel.......I have very wonderful memories and was always happy when around you.
Rest in peace Daddy in the bosom of the Almighty.

When an icon passes it is an arduous task for the next generation to attain to, or altogether replace the wisdom, knowledge, experience and gravitas that goes with them. So it is with your passing. You were the embodiment of kindness, generosity, passion, unabated drive, unforgettable ebullience, and you always offered that ever reassuring broad smile. A good teacher, always aiming to bring the best out of others, caring and welcoming. While we who you have left behind aspire to emulate your virtues, I salute you Chairman, Dr. Edmund Abiola Akinocho for being God’s gift to many. Now you bask in the presence of your Lord, how awesome! Adieu sir...
Dr. Ernest Hale Akwenuke

My cousins' dad - fondly known to us as "Labode's Daddy". A very kind and gracious man, a devoted father - no location was too far for him to visit his family. A distinguished gentleman with the highest professional standards. My condolences to the family and may his soul rest in peace.

Your niece

Mrs. Fumilayo Alao.

Grandpa Biola... news of your passing came with tears and sadness. I had thought you would be here with us for much longer and that we would celebrate your 90th just like your Sisters - Grams (Grandma Majaro) and Grandma Arin. But we thank God for your life and that we had you in our lives for long.

It is sad to know you aren't here with us anymore but we thank God...

You were a gentle soul... Interviewing you as part of the Family History project I embarked on helped me get to know you better and build a better connection with you for which I am grateful.

I admired your relationship with your Sisters and was fond of hearing you call Grandma Majaro 'Egbon mi'... anytime you came visiting and both of you would smile when I mimicked you.

You were a generous man... I remember one of the times when I got an envelope of some pounds delivered through my Mum, Busola, saying Grandpa Biola said to give you for your Masters graduation. I was so surprised and grateful.

Although very sad but with submission to God, I say Adieu Grandpa Biola. May your gentle soul rest in peace in God's bossom. Say hello to Grams for us. Till we meet again...

I still cannot believe that Uncle Biola is no more. I met him in first in 1959, 61years ago at the eye clinic, Massey Street Children's Hospital, Lagos when l got my first pair of glasses. He was ever so professional, answering all my questions. Even when my Mum was insisting that l did not need glasses he did everything to explain my condition to her. I left the clinic a happy child. When I told him I wanted to study medicine and would want to be an eye doctor, he was so excited and from that time took special interest in me. Throughout my secondary school days, all my free time was spent at the General Hospital eye clinic as he was eventually transferred there. It was at GH Lagos l met Dr Akinsete and both of them took very special interest in my academics. I became like an adopted daughter in the family. When I passed my WAEC exams, A levels he was very happy and proud of me. I left for Sofia,Bulgaria and his patting words were " you know you have to work,study very hard to become a doctor and to be an eye doctor you have to put in extra time. Don't disappoint me Mosun." I gave him my words. When I qualified and visited him in his clinic, as usual he was the proud " father", and he reminded me of my promise to him, to be an eye doctor. I eventually qualified as an ophthalmologist and l took my certificate to show him. After he finished seeing the patient he was seeing, he went upstairs to his office brought down a bottle of champagne to celebrate me. After that he told me to continue seeing the patient and he was gently putting me through. "Four of you promised to be eye doctors, only you ended up to be one. Thank you." He was a perfect gentleman always with his bow tie and suit. Always with a smile. He loved his children, family and friends and he was much loved by them, also his patients. There was nothing l cannot discuss with him. When we meet at international ophthalmology meetings, he'll take care of us, taking us to dinner. I always look forward to those times as we'll end up discussing the day's proceedings. There's never a dull moment with him, life issues, ophthalmology and prayers. When the Eye Bank for Restoring Sight Nigeria was inaugurated he readily agreed to serve on the Board. His contribution on the Board was invaluable. He was the immediate past Chairman of the Board and until his death he was a member of the Board of Trustees.
As l write this tribute, l can never forget you Uncle Biola, as l fondly call you. When I get discouraged that things are not going well as it should with the Eye Bank and l'm complaining, l'll never forget your kind words "Mosun, suru l'o ma mu, o ma kuku dara". You were such a gem. I'll surely miss you. The Eye Bank will miss you. The Ophthalmology community in Nigeria will miss you too. Adieu Uncle BIola till we meet on Ressurection morning.

It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that I write this tribute to you. You were an uncle in a million; you were a humble, kind, loving, caring and good in your heart and soul. Thanks to all the wonderful moments and memories, especially the ones you shared with my late mother Chief Christianah Ayinke Ajayi-Obe, you will definitely be missed. May your soul rest in perfect peace. Sleep well uncle.
Oyediran Ajayi-Obe.

Dr Akinosho was a wonderful Uncle and friend to our parents Dr & Mrs C.A Orimalade.

He subsequently became a most cherished and loved in law to the family when Dapo married Pepi.

A very fine and cultured  gentleman who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

The last time my brother and I saw him he looked well and I promised to visit soon.

It was with great shock that we heard of his passing on but we believe he has joined the Saint Triumphants ,looking and smiling down at us with a big grin.


We love you Uncle but Jesus truly loves you more.

Adieu and rest on in perfect peace.

On behalf of the Orimalades

Dr Edmund A.Akinocho was a friend, mentor and father figure.

From the time we first met when I was a year 2 student at Federal School of Science, Lagos and he had to operate on my eye to now, I always knew he was someone who would do his best to offer a kind word or assistance to those in need.

When I went to the USSR on a scholarship, he found time to keep in touch by sending letters to check up on me.

As we returned home in 1982, he offered us accommodation and my wife a position at his Hospital, Quanta Qualia.

Even though we went in another direction professionally and accommodation wise, we still kept in touch over the years, with his counsel always appreciated and respected.

Rest in Peace, you will be missed.
  
   Drs Natalia & Fola Daniyan

We heard with great sadness that Dr Akinosho had passed. We met through your son Labode who married our dear friend and sister Esigbemi. I remember distinctly how I marveled at the resemblance between father and son when I first met you. You were a distinguished gentleman, who was also fun loving, witty, caring and a family man. You will be missed sorely. May you find rest with our Lord Jesus till we meet again. The Adebajos - Ronke & Feyi.
