Granddad, today being your birthday, I wish you were present physically, but you are not absent even in that sense. I feel the vacuum left behind of a grandfather I so overwhelmingly admire and respect. But again, you are not absent because your love is deeply engraved in our hearts. You are indeed a grandfather every grandchild would have so much to emulate from, and Granddad, we love you. Happy Birthday Granddaddy!

I knew Papa as a man of few words filled with so much wisdom and encouragement. Papa is a gentle, peaceful, kind-hearted and great man worth knowing. Papa will surely be missed by all those who knew him but in all things let us give glory to God and be assured that He is with the Lord.

Pa Igal,
You have deposited your kindness in your son, Dr. Godknows Boladei Igali. You have left behind your progressive and liberal mind in his entire being. His staff at the Fed. Min. of Water Resources now call him messiah. May your gentle soul peacefully rest in the Bosom of The LORD.
