Uncle Joe as we all fondly call him in the Tobi household was such a calm, friendly gentleman, husband and family man. Your passing was most unexpected, but we are consoled by the fact that you are in a better place. May your gentle and kind soul find favour with God, and rest in perfect peace.
We pray for the intercession of our most Holy Mother for comfort and healing at this most trying period for our dear sister Bola, for your lovely children Egbadon, Aide and Zafe and for your siblings. God will surely give all the strength, guidance and grace to navigate this difficult curve. Amen!
The news of Engr. Joe Udegbe's death came as a great shock. A nice man I have known to be a shining example of how to love and appreciate one's family as special gift from God. I will never forget all the ways Engr. Joe Udegbe motivated my family to make our children's education as our investment priority. Despite leaving the world so soon, everyone who knew him closely would be consoled by his sincere service to God and humanity through strict adherence to the Catholic faith that he genuinely practised and lived to the admiration of all. May God grant our late Engr. Joseph Udegbe eternal rest in His heavenly kingdom. Amen.
We both were born in Kafanchan a few years apart and met almost three decades ago through our dear spouses (Kassey and Bola). When I look up I see the beautiful gift you gave us as our wedding gifts. It still adorns our living room as it has for over twenty two years. It says a lot about you: strong, meticulous, perfectionist, enduring and lovely.
Kassey and I always admired your loving devotion to your wife, your children, your parents, your parents in-law and your siblings. We always thought of you as Bola's number one fan, most loving and most dependable husband for she was always the bone of your bone and the flesh of your flesh and your admiration for her was always too plain to see. You were truly a unique person. You shared yourselves with your friends.
Kassey and I remember with joy and gratitude to God those times we shared at Christmas as we alternated between your home, the Akingbade's and our home. They were full of lovely and lasting memories.
Kassey and I will always treasure these memories. We thank God for your life, for you were also devoted to the Lord with whom you are now resting. We give Him glory for your life and for your family. We believe that He will comfort and watch over them and fill the void that your going to be with the Lord has left in their lives and in our lives.
We shall truly miss you until we meet to part no more. Adieu our dear friend 'uncle Joe'
Garba and Kassey
