Grandad was a great man and we always looked forward to his visits. We also remember that he once said Toyin "doesn't walk" but she runs. Grandad also wanted to show us a pair of Maxine's baby shoes and looked forward to seeing her wedding. We will definitely miss him but we know he is watching us and smiling at us every day.
Maxine and Toyin Coker

Daddy,you were my first figure of a Man and your actions and words of wisdom as I grew up made me learn the kind of woman I should be.Focus on your studies was the message you preached constantly.Growing up as a teenager in Airforce base Ikeja,no boy dared visit.And why?(I dare ask)A disciplinarian to the core,but tender and kind hearted.When I eventually met my husband Wole,you embraced him as your son and there and then I knew I had made the right choice. Wole and I will miss you greatly,but we know you have run your race well and now resting with your Father.Love you so much.Iso xxxx
