I knew him too... We only exchanged a few words, a few greetings, a few glances. But I knew him through the profound friendship and camaraderie I shared with his children, who were my friends...my peers. Dumo, Emeka, Ify, yes Ogoo, AJ Monks...Oge was quite little then.
Dear Sir, yours was a fulfilled life. We all call you Dad. We ate food in your home, watched your TV and shared a deep bond of friendship and love with your children.
Rest on Sir. This is the lot of man and we who mourn today pray that we be found worthy to exit as gloriously as you and our other parents have done: live fully, see our children's children and yes even their own children and be interred with tears of blessed joy and total peace.
Adieu Prof. Your legacy lives on!!!
