Kamal's Tribute

July 23, 2012
Grandpa was someone who always wanted the best for me. He would always ask me about my education and he always wanted me to excel far beyond my peers. I just wish he could have seen me do it!
  May God have mercy on him.

Rakaya Fetuga's Tribute

July 23, 2012

My Grandfather John Clifford was a kind and caring man who always encouraged my brothers and I to make the most of every opportunity and to work hard at becoming well rounded individuals.  I remember being so happy to go and visit him at his house in London and only wish I could have come to Ghana in these past few years to meet him again.  May God bless him and may he rest in peace

A Tribute From the Grandchildren

July 22, 2012

Our grandfather lived a remarkable life, one that inspired us greatly. The range of interests he pursued and his joyful demeanour made him a magnificent person. He was always generous with his time and affection.

He will be with us in our hearts. He will always be in our minds and he will always be close to us and will never be forgotten. His approach to life was admirable. He never displayed anger or impatience. Instead, he displayed a sense of boundlessness, dignity and humour. 

He was a great mentor to have, not only for us as a grandfather but also for everybody who knew him. He was benevolent and compassionate. We possess many wonderful memories to treasure for eternity.

We are not truly without him, for he is in our hearts now and always. He was not only a grandfather to us but a dear friend. Whenever we were in his company we experienced love, warmth and comfort. We represent many who owe him a great debt and who are perpetually grateful for his succour. We have a legacy of love from this congenial and humble man. 

We will miss our grandfather immensely. Nothing will erase him from our hearts.

Grandfather, you are a role model and a companion. Your love will guide us through our time here on earth. 

 

By Adrian (on behalf of the grandchildren). 

Tribute from Dora Ofori (Daughter-in-Law)

July 20, 2012

One would find it difficult to think of ''Dad JC'', and not associate him with fond attributes. He was kind, nice, generous and sympathetic to everybody. Though some of us did not have the opportunity to be with him for a considerable length of time, the few moments we met him were filled with happy memories. Dad was so loving, always cheerful, never moody, and constantly full of humour. His ever present smile and gentle character made one felt instantly at home. His cultured characteristics and well-mannered ways were infectious qualities of his personality. We remember Dad as a softly-spoken person, but one who stood up for the things he believed in. Whenever one met Dad JC, it came natural to him to exceed his warmth and good-naturedness by the many things he would do and give. 

Dad, it was barely a year the last time we saw you, that news of your sudden death was conveyed to us. At the time we visited you shortly, you looked good, healthy and gorgeous. Who could have thought that the Lord will call you to glory any moment? But as it is written in (Philippians 1:21 NIV), ''For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain,'' it is our prayer that you find solace and absolute peace in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Dad, we will miss you for your generosity and irreplaceable hospitality which you offered freely to all, and which even extended to strangers.

As we mourn the sudden departure of our beloved father-in-law ''Dad JC'', let us not forget the declaration of Apostle Paul in 2nd Timothy 4:7; 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith'.

Dad, nanti yie o, fare thee well till we meet again.

Dora Ofori and family

 

 

 

Adwoa's story

May 7, 2012

My father and I became closer when he came back to live in London in the early nineties.  He was a great support as a grandfather and encouraged my children in all areas of their lives to be the best that they could be.  He believed that children should be introduced to a range of hobbies such as music and sport to give them balance   and confidence in their lives.   I got on well with him and I learned that he was an entrepreneur at heart of which I am also an aspiring one.  He even ran a car washing business here in London when he was in his late sixties.  I was pleased that he was able to attend my university graduation in 1999. It was a real honour to have him be there as my mum and other siblings were unable to come.  I found my dad to be a positive person always trying to look on the bright side.  He supported me in my conversion to Islam which he understood to be worshipping the one God Almighty and that all religions originate from one truth.  I admired the way he went to live in Jukwa to be close to his mother in her final years.  The last time I visited him was in October 2010 with my two youngest children.  I am so happy that they got to meet him they had a lovely time together at his house.  I pray that my father rests in perfect peace and that God blesses him for all the good he did for people on this earth.
