This memorial website was created in memory of a comrade.
Mr. Richard Feyi SOYOMBO - Former NIDOA CHAIRMAN
When the news got to me yesterday morning, it was unbelievable. Richard how very quiet you tiptoed into our world, silently, only a moment you stayed. But what an imprint your footprints have left upon our hearts. Richard was a Good Jolly Fellow, man of high ethics and integrity. It's with sadness that we lost one of our rare gem, he was one of us that we acknowledge with desolation that he was exceptional. Richard was inimitable,easy going,gentle soul,born leader.
He was very forthright, classy and matchless.He was truly a one off,
irreplaceable in every sense. The family of NIDOA despondency and grief know no bounds because Richard was a unique gift from God to our nation that he loved so much.He was a very brave warrior who was never scared of death.
RICHARD can be proud of the obvious fact that he stood for something while here on earth with us. He was a great Nigeria patriot endowed it's nostalgic memory there in, he never shied away from any difficult national issue or task and he always exhibit uncommon and unparalleled courage in contributing his quotas and always volunteer whenever it mattered most. He so much wanted a better Nigeria for all of us.
RICHARD had a hugely successful and unblemished career in international business and he used his talent to make a huge difference wherever he found himself, giving many Nigerian and non-Nigerian a strong voice to be proud of. I know it is never about how long one lives but we'll and I do believe that while it is good to have an end to the journey, this one gone so soon.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,love leaves a memory no one can steal, although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory of Richard help comfort us tomorrow. I commensurate with immediate family,wife and children Richard left behind and pray fervently that God in his infinitive mercy grant them fortitude and strength to carry on.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.And as you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heaven. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower, you will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.You don't get over it, you just get through it.You don't get by it, because you can't get around it.It doesn't get better; it just gets different.
Everyday.....Grief puts on a new face. You will be missed.
Adieu Comrade !!!!
Adeiu good soldier !!!!
DEATH CAN NOT KILL WHAT NEVER DIES. THE FUN MEMORIES LIVE ON!!
