I just found out today from his son who I met in Linkedin. What a nice man! What a great footballer! My old teammate will be missed!
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, EMMANUEL KULU whom we will remember forever in our hearts.
God saw you getting tired
We prayed for you each day.
He put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come with Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you fade away.
Although we LOVED YOU DEARLY
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best!

Tribute from Talla Ngarka
This no doubt is the one played for SASSE College in the early 1970s? He always gave BTTC Gt Soppo a lot of trouble when the two colleges met on the football pitch. May his Great soul Rest in peace.

HRH my sympathy to you and the royal family. I remember during the wake for your mother Fr. Nomo stopping by to see is Kulu had made it to the celebrations. He told us that Kulu was one of the finest he had coached in Sasse. May he travel safe and play in Fr. Nomi’s team in heaven. May Saint Joseph guide him to Our Lord.

Dad I just wanna say from the time I was born all I wanted was to be with you. I believe one of the reasons God allow me to be birthed in this world was to let you know that you have a son that truly loves you no matter what you did or didn’t do, he would just love you. Besides Jesus My Lord and Savior you are my hero Thank You Dad for teaching me how to be proud of my culture and embrace all of my African Community. You surrounded me with Uncles and Aunties full of wisdom which will comfort in time of need. One day we will be reunited in Heaven in Jesus Name Amen
Love Always Dad!!!!!!! From My Children and Wife

I remember the fond memories we had growing up as children. You were a very loving and caring older brother.
I remember your football name "Epata" given to you while in St Joseph's College Sasse and your football boots you handed down to me when you traveled to USA. When I took those boots to Sasse, I was nicknamed "Epata Junior" although I did not play football up to your standards.
To date my mates still call me "Epata Junior and refer to you as "Epata Senior".
We all miss you.

As my father’s oldest child, I am honored to speak about my fondest memories of him. He was a fun and loving dad. I remember the days when he would take us to the soccer fields to run around and watch him play. The days of him standing on the track at my high school track meets or on the side lines of my high school soccer games cheering me on. My wedding day when he walked me down the aisle to give me away to my loving husband and when he danced with me for our father/daughter dance. The day he met his grandchildren and gave each of them a name with meaning from his native land of Cameroon. The days when he instilled in me the value of education which kept me motivated during my time in pharmacy school. And even though he wasn’t able to see me walk across that stage to receive my doctorate of pharmacy, I know he was proud of me. These are the things that I reflected on as I sat with him during his final days on this earth. I am so grateful to have these memories of my dad. He was an amazing person and was loved by many. Although, he is not physically here with me, he will forever live on in my mind and heart. Dad, I miss you and I love you forever and always.

My dad Chief Emmanuel Kulu Sr. was the best father in the world. When we were Young kids he took the time to train and support us in school, sports and anything else we wanted to do. He gave our royal African Pride and never allowed us to be ashamed of being African. I always remember my dad being so strong and encouraging. He Disciplined us with love, and showed me how to be a man and a father. My father loved us children, and instilled in us to be fighters and hard workers in all things we do. My dad had so much star power, he drew the African community together in Buffalo, he was loved and admired amongst all his peers. As a child, I wanted to be just like him, and impact my community the way he did. O' Father you will be missed dearly by us and everyone who knew you. I'm so proud to carry his name on. May Jehovah call him out in the resurrection.
Love your son and Grandchildren
