May God keep you well
When ever you visited Cameroon, you first visit us before going to your home town Bamenda and that made us even stronger. For the past five years, you have visited Cameroon yearly and 1st of May became our day of reunion as you will gather my entire family and part of yours and would settle down always in Limbe feasting and while drinking and eating we will recount our days in London, it was much fun.
uncle Sam, my children will echo your name time and again especially when it's April knowing that you will soon be around for the feasting to begin on May 1st.
May 1st 2015 was very special as you came along with your wife, Eli, and John your son this added more color to the usual. Little did we know that this was the last time we will ever sit and feast with you.
When your wife Eli called us on July 07th 2015 to announce your death, we immediately grab the pictures we took on May 01st 2015 to say it's a lie, this can't be true. Rest in peace.
Sam, Uncle Sam, U,U,U, you will forever be remembered by me and my entire family. May 1st will forever be our day of reunion even after you have long gone, we shall name it Sam's Day.
Sam, it is even still difficult to say Goodbye because you were never gone.
May your soul be comforted as you rest in God's bosom.

I will forever be grateful for the assistance you offered me when I arrived London for Studies in the early 80s. Your generosity was from childhood. I still to this day after some 56 years remember when you came to the village for Christmas and gave me your View Master (Fine Country) at or around age 4 years. I was 6 years old then and your kindness was permanently engraved in my memory. Whatever thanks I offered you were not enough for your generosity.
We will forever ask the nagging question as to why you had to go at this time, yet our Christian minds should serve and remind us that you did not forsake us, rather that you heard and answered the call of The Almighty God. We also forget that you were not control of your departure time, rather again, God had chosen this day since the moment you were born. We know you had the difficult decision between remaining with us and answering the call of The Almighty Lord. The one you chose is obvious, hence the deep sorrow in our hearts.
Perhaps the best thing that my brother Sam has left behind for us to cherish is his life and his legacy. He faced the world with unparalleled hope and optimism. He always found happiness in helping and taking care of those around him. To quote Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “An individual has not started living until he/she can rise above the narrow confines of his/her individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” I am not sure Ni Samuel Tamufor ever came across this quote but he lived it and he lived it well
My brother “You, You, You” (as it was the way we called ourselves0 go in peace and with a smile and let the angels carry you onto The Lord.
We will forever miss you. Farewell until we meet again, MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN EVERLASTING PERFECT PEACE.
Your loving brother

Sam's Childhoold generosity
It is with a heavy heart that I write about Brother Samuel Tamufor.
Some 56 years ago my brother Samuel Tamufor at age 4 years and I was 6 years then, we were in the village for Christmas. He had a View Master (Fine Country as it was called then). Having a View Master then especailly in the village was the equivalent of having the only Ipad in the city. No child in the entire village had ever peeked into View Master. We could not wait for church service to be over so we ask him to see it or take a peek into it.
Sure enough after church service the croud of kids swelled around him. Every child and more than few adults wanted to see it as well. To my greatest surprise he handed the View Master to me. I was shock beyond believe that he could just hand his priced possesion (toy) to me. I was instantly the envy of every kid in the village. Though I let the kids take a peek into the View Master, i controlled who could see and for what duration.
I will never thanks you enough for your generosity. I will forever cherish the memories you left for me. Farewell brother
