Hi Uncle Sam, I’m thinking about you on your birthday. We used to laugh about how we both have November birthdays. I miss your laugh and stories. The way I would describe you to people is that after spending time with you, my stomach would hurt from laughing so much. God bless the life you led and the joy you brought to so many people. I know you’re relaxing up in heaven.

Although i got to meet you for only a short while, I heard a lot about you through Suzzy and i always loved and admired you from afar. It was a big shock to me when i heard the unexpected news. I must say it was a privilege getting to meet a loving and honest man like you and to witness the impact you had in the lives of many. May your works and legacy continue to live on after you and may our good Lord comfort your entire family.

Rest in Perfect Peace Dr. Sam

Dr. Sam as I affectionately call him.
"Mad Harriet says you are not serious with work, you are always on Facebook" But let me say this to you; you may never know when and where you will be needed. Always prepare yourself, you may never know". These words lead me today! Am grateful and rest peaceful in the bosom of the Almighty Lord.

Dear Uncle Sam,

You were more like a dad to me than anything else. You were always there drawing me close like a father teaching me the lessons I have now come to appreciate more in my adult life.

My fun loving, always smiling, best dressed, always with newest gadget, forever forgiving, comforting Uncle Sam who always had the right advice at the most needed time.

You helped so many people, known and unknown to you without a thought as long as you could.The life you lived was a life most of us only strive to replicate.You fought hard for the things you believed in and never stopped solving problems around you.

We are assured that even though you have completed your race and our Father In Heaven has called you to rest, we will see you again at the resurrection and that is my Comfort.

Rest Well Uncle Sam

Doc Sam, thanks be to God for your life and for memories. You were such a remarkable person to get to know and I enjoyed every bit of interaction with you. You lived your faith and being around you was always a learning experience as you shared one nugget of wisdom or the other. Your vibrancy and zest for life was infectious. Even your health challenges did not slow you down, you took them all in your stride and I thank God for giving you that spirit. You left a legacy at Univ of Ghana as Ag CITO and for those of us who knew what you did, we will always appreciate your efforts at transforming the University's IT landscape with limited resources. Ayekoo, good and faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy your rest in the Lord.

Dr Sam, your death is so painful to bear, it’s left me saddened and dumbfounded.
So I choose to think of your life and the memories you made.
You loved so purely and cared about the people around you. Always ready to make a positive impact.
You were an inspiration, your stories got me dreaming and believing that everything was possible with planning and hard work.
Your sense of dedication and hard work is unparalleled and thank you for teaching me these skills and also for being a springboard for me to gain knowledge, skills and experience I wouldn’t have otherwise. Skills that I use every day in my life.
Your perspective on life was very intriguing and challenging and I have learnt a lot from it, so thank you.
I pray the Almighty God grants you eternal rest for your soul,
Solace for your family, and
Bless and establish your legacy on earth.
Fare thee well Dr Sam!!! Damirifa is due!!!

Dear Dr. Somuah.

I say good night from this side, and good morning at the other side where we shall meet again.
No amount of cry or tribute can restore you back even though that is many wish.
Now to your wife whom I consider as Aunty and to your lovely children, I say hold your hearts and take consolation in God.
Live on Sir.

News of your demise made me sad and each time I remember you are no more physically here with us, i become sad.

I came into contact with you during one of your meetings with the Purpose Driven Youth's at Adabraka (one of our mentorship sessions championed by Rev. Felix Owusu together with some other youth leaders)

I must say, that meeting was very impactful.

You taught us how to write a good CV,how to prepare for job interview,how to deliver on the job,meeting targets,deadlines, improving our skills in different areas,in IT etc, You advised us to read wide to gain knowledge ,to be disciplined and to be an asset where ever we found ourselves.I could go on and on, Seeing you also with Gloria and your engagements with some other youths on different days made me wonder how such a great man, could make time for young people like us.
From a distance,I began to see you as a father and I concluded , that you are a very humble man and a blessing from God to the youth.

Other things, i learnt from you is to give back to society, to invest in others, to be a helpful person and to shine my light in my small corner. 

It was a great privilege coming into contact with you Daddy, God richly bless you and keep you. Dr. Somuah.

We take consolation in the word of God in Rev. 14:13" Blessed are the dead that die in the lord......."

Thank you very much Dr. Somuah.

May The lord be with you till we meet again.

Rest well General!

Your exit came as a big shock to me Dr. Somuah. My last interaction with you was in May and you indicated that you will be coming home soon. Never knew that will be my last time to hear from you.
Your sacrificial heart is unparalleled. You embodied love in practical terms. You were passionate about the work of God always ready to come along especially when it comes to youth evangelism and development. You were always there for everyone in need. You went out of your way to support many needy children to gain education to the highest level.
A man whose smiles serve as a source of encouragement to us when we are down. Your down to earth attitude and practical advice has touched many lives God brought your way.

Your memory and legacy indeed lives on forever in our hearts.
Although we will miss your infectious smiles we know you have entered heaven with these same beautiful smiles. Fare thee well great warrior of Jesus Christ.

Daddy! I still can't believe you are no more with us.

I called and left messages and waiting to hear from you. Had so much to share with you.

You promised coming home in December 2021 but extended your stay, you always will say you are fine, even when we had our last video call.

I'm truly sorry for all you have been through, everyone is broken and still in shock.

However, our consolation lies in the fact that you are resting in the bosom of our Lord.

We love you so much daddy! Thanks for your love, counsel, care, rebukes and always being there.

You were a perfect gift to us. Rest well daddy, till we meet again.

Love, Akorfa Jemima

I loved to call you The Midas Touch, because anyone who encountered you became a better person.
Despite your years abroad, and with great exposure to the sophistication of the western world, you still remained the simple humble Obo man.

Dr. Sam, writing a tribute for you is the most difficult thing I've had to do this year.

Dr. Sam, as you journey home today, may the heavens welcome you with the best reception there is.

Dr. Sam Somuuuah (you said that is how the Americans pronounced your surname), you were not only my boss but my teacher, my counselor, my cheerleader, my father and my guardian angel on earth.

On 1st July, I had a dream about you singing and dancing in Church with Shirley, Sharon, Sam, Stephen and Dr. Harriet around you. When I woke up and told Kwadwo, he said it meant you were gonna get better soon and there would be Thanksgiving service. Little did I know you were saying goodbye to me.

I was very hopeful you were gonna get better because you were very optimistic. You fought with every strength in you.

Heaven could not wait any longer, God called you home to rest.

It's hard to come to terms that you are no more. One minute, I believe.... then the next I'm in complete denial.
How is it possible that your infectious smile ain't gonna be seen no more?
How is it possible that you have left with all your knowledge and expertise?

Dear Heavens, please don't forget to put hazelnut in Dr. Sam's coffee.
Dear Heavens, please don't forget to give Dr. Sam yam and spinach stew.
Dear Heavens, I hope you have Toblerone chocolate...

From my Uncle Wɔfa K., my Mum, Kwadwo and Kelly, we wish you a peaceful rest in the Lord's bosom.

My Dearest Boss Dr. Sam, thank you for everything.

Rest well until we meet again.

Your favorite P.A

Hello Dr Sam, this is pastor Kwayisi here. This life has many twist and turns and only make sense with Christ at the center. I miss you Dr Sam.

Dr Sam It’s been difficult to accept that you are not returning soon from your Atlanta trip. I feel you will soon reply my whatsapp messages. I think you are still here. My mind keep playing some tricks on me or having just a bad dream. Dr Sam I miss you.

 You know we don’t write to each other often but we talk face to face. I was hoping you will drive to Shiashie soon for our usual hearty chats. I have some new ideas about how to use church data. Finally I got help with the tithing records. CBC Shiashie is taking shape beautifully. Dr sam we are planning of getting air conditioners for Shiashie main auditorium as you suggested some years ago. Dr Sam I miss you.

Dr Sam, Can you imagine who moved to Shiahsie this year, It is Akorfa and she is singing in the Choir. She told me she sent couple of messages to you and waiting for your reply. Dr Sam finally the green belt is getting some attention, and the basketball court is almost done. Dr Sam I miss you.

Dr Sam, I have so much to talk with you about data for pastoral care, about upgrade of website, about CBC App, my further studies in ICS, about Senior Pastor search process, about new CBC campuses, about my family and yours. Till we meet again on resurrection morning please rest well. I miss you so much Dr Sam. Forever in our hearts.

The love and impact you had on the people around you can never be overstated. This will definitely leave Teenagers a lasting impression in many lives. The virtues you stood for cannot be understated -excellence in the Godly way.
You were a good father, leader and friend. It is difficult for me to say goodbye but the Lord knows best.
You will forever be remembered.
Rest in Peace my friend and big brother.

July 23, 2022
I am still in denial at news of your death Dr. Sam, but I am comforted because I believe you have been called home by the God you loved and served diligently, for eternal rest.
You imparted so many lives, mine inclusive. You have gained many crowns in heaven because you were a good person.
Sleep well Dr. Sam, till we meet again.
Rest in perfect peace!

Dr. Sam, I have written a lot of tribute on Facebook on how you impacted me personally. Your passing on has brought to my memory the lamentations of one of my cousins years ago when we had a series of funerals in our family. But I am comforted by the truth (you know I gave myself the task of teaching truths of the kingdom of God) that in Christ, we do not die. We only fall ASLEEP. In my sorrow and grief,.I hear you comforting me and all of us. You said "MY ANCHOR HOLDS". So I choose to share the following lines from the song "THE ANCHOR HOKDS"

I have journeyed
Through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea
By faith alone
Sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching me

The anchor holds
Though the ship is battered
The anchor holds
Though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
As I faced the raging seas
The anchor holds
In spite of the storm

Yes, Dr. Sam, though the ship (your physical body) was battered, badly damaged, ANCHOR HELD because Jesus Christ is that anchor that kept your steadfast and sure as the billows rolled. You were grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love.

Sleep on, gallant soldier.
When the morning comes, when all the saints are gathered home, we will all tell our stories of how we overcame even death.
July 22, 2022

Dr. Sam, Dr. Sam,
I heard the sad news today and could not believe that such a friendly and sincere person has left us early.
I still remember your infectious, loud, reverberating and unique laugh in the Research Institute of KFUPM. Thank you for all of the many genuine advices.
My deepest condolences to Harriet and kids
Rest In Peace.

TRIBUTE IN MEMORY OF OUR BROTHER-IN-LAW
DR. SAMUEL K. SOMUAH
With heavy hearts we write this tribute in memory of our In-Law. Dr. Samuel Somuah.
We got to know Dr. Sam when his family first visited our family to perform the traditional knocking rights for marriage to our daughter and sister. From that day he became one of us. He has been very supportive and showed interest in the welfare of our family members. He would work through his wife to support the education of family members and provide to the less fortunate. Many are the people who will say that without Dr. Somuah, they
would not have had an education or completed their education. He has an open house and therefore all family members on their way to Korle-Bu will pass by to have water, food or rest.
When together with his big brother established Advanced Computer Systems (ACS), he employed many young talented people including his wife's younger sister. He was a computer genius and knew everything about electronics and electrical
gadgets. Dr. Somuah touched many lives with his kind, caring, loving and peaceful nature.
Yes, he had a lot of great qualities but perhaps his most endearing quality is his engagement in a conversation, ability to make people smile and comfortable to open-up, and his timely advice. For some of us he gave us the confidence to travel roads that are less travelled and assured us that we will be fine if we rely on God.
The absolute best thing about him is his love for our daughter and sister, Harriet. Many people experience love in their lifetime, but "true love" happens only to a few lucky ones, and
that's what they had - True Love. Their love was magic! which brought about 4 lovely children. We know love never fades and therefore this love will remain forever. He accomplished so much both in personal and professional levels. Even when he
was unwell, he still managed to say things like, "thank you" please, I am so blessed and continued to laugh heartily. We can all learn to live our lives the way it was intended to be lived; with purpose and with love, showing kindness and paying
attention to the needs of society. For now, do things that will make you happy and connected to God.
Given Dr. Somuah's positive attitude and great will power and energy to survive, we had so much hope and were praying and fighting against all the odds that he gets well soon but that could
not happen because God saw that he was getting tired and needed rest in his bosom.
Dr. Somuah to our family was a brother from another mother and not an in-law. Nothing can describe the pain we feel in our hearts. Hard working hands at rest. For as long as there is
memory, you will live on in our hearts and minds.
You will surely be missed.
On behalf of the Miah family, we wish you farewell. Da yie.

TRIBUTE FROM TORCHBEARERS MISSION INC
My association with Dr. Samuel Somuah began in 1972 when I went to Prempeh College. He was quiet but very influential. He took an interest in me, a form one boy! Most upper sixth form students didn’t bother much about us but he did.
I remember that on a number of occasions, I will go to his room in Aggrey House and just sleep on his bed and be free from disturbances from other seniors.
When he continued to UST, now KNUST, I would visit with him. At that time I looked up to him as a father figure. He was always neatly dressed, well composed all the time, the epitome of the perfect gentleman. He had an infectious smile and chuckle that will make you relaxed around him.
I lost touch with him for some time when I learned that he was working in the Emirates or one of the Arab countries.
When he was approached to serve on the Torchbearers Mission Inc.’s Board I was delighted. He brought professionalism and all his skills to bear on how the ministry was managed. In Board meetings, he will ask incisive questions that required critical thinking and coming up with the best solutions. He wasn’t interested in mediocrity. And so always worked in such a way that it could be said that he was always associated with excellence.
His financial support for our ministry was one we could always count on.
He had a human side that I am sure many people benefitted from. When in 2015, I was involved in a near fatal accident, he made time to come and visit me and donate towards the medical bills.
Torchbearers Mission Inc has lost a leader, brother and a partner whose purse was placed at our disposal in our feeble efforts to make Christ known around the globe.
May his gentle soul rest in peace until we reunite on resurrection day.

General Director,

It’s been difficult for me to face the reality staring me in the face, while it’s not lost on me, is the fact that we are all mortals. I thought of you and the short but valuable time spent in SISCO. A gentleman of massive positive impact, always smiling, intelligent, generous, compassionate and peaceful, over 2 decades ago had been what I have known you for. You have left gaping holes in the hearts of many. I know God has his reason for calling you now., have a wonderful Journey Dr. Sam.

May God grant your family the fortitude to bear this great loss.  Amen

I admired Sam a lot because he lived a christ-like life.....he was such a good person full of compassion. He had this smile that put you at ease and makes you feel and know that you matter to him.

I met Dr Sam Somuah though Fruitful Ministries and he came across to me as a very simple conscientious senior brother willing to assist whenever and in whatever situation. He carried a broad smile whenever he sees you. Unassuming but so purposeful in his endeavour.

My condolences to Dr Harriet and children.

Till we meet again, rest well Dr. You are fondly remembered ❤️

Good people die,and no one understands or even cares.
"Wonderful is understatement" words cannot describe who you were
Dr. Sam was a father, a counsellor, an intelligent teacher and above all a friend to all his staff.
Dr. Sam was a strong pillar to us, the editor of my thesis. My personal health advisor who was always ready to support at all times, even on personnel issues.

Thank you for all the strength you gave me in all my surgeries and your words of encouragement when l was sick.

Boss like no other, thanks for everything.
Kofi , Esi and Ama Felicia continue to pray for the peaceful repose of your gentle soul. Rest in peace, boss of all times.

Uncle Sam, thank you for always encouraging and loving us. I remember, with fondness, the times our families spent together as Jo and I were growing up. Your love and generosity to us will always be remembered and treasured.
You will be missed, but I rejoice in knowing that this is but a temporary goodbye, for we know that the sting of death and the victory it once had have been completely removed by the death and resurrection of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. We will surely meet again.

Tribute by Hon. Dr. Benjamin Aggrey Ntim

IN MEMORY OF DR. KWABENA SAMUEL SOMUAH


“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart;
the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
May the name of the Lord be praised”.
(Job 1:21 NIV)

The above Scripture captured my feelings when I first heard the news of the unfortunate death of Dr Somuah in a far away Atlanta Georgia in the United States of America: Sombre and Thankful. Sombre and thankful because I had heard earlier that for sometime he had been suffering from with some illness but had undergone a successful surgery some two or three years ago. However, in the last six months he was having some serious pains and since death ends all pain, the Lord in his wisdom decided to end his physical pain in exchange for a permanent spiritual rest.
Dr Somuah joined the Ministry of Communications as a Consultant of the World Bank when I was then the Deputy Minister. In that capacity, I represented the Ministry at the interviewing panel chaired by the Head of the Civil Service Commission. It was not long after before I became the Minister in 2007. This was a period when the Ministry had doubled its efforts in pushing the frontiers of ICT after drawing up the necessary policies in the first half of former President Kufuor’s developmental agenda in this field*.

Leading Communication companies like MTN, Vodafone and Tigo had all invested massively in building towers and expanding their underground fibre optics to offer high speed internet services in the country. Dr Somuah joined the Ministry at this opportune time to offer his professional services and to, particularly, help to initiate the digitization processes that formed the foundation of the current ubiquitous digitization of all activities in the country related to the banking, education, health, agricultural, energy, social media sectors, etc. After rendering his services to the Ministry he proceeded to the University of Ghana, Legon where he made his mark in connecting virtually all the students’ Halls of residence and the academic departments to the internet.
We at the Ministry did not have much chance to interact with your Family apart from your brother, Prof. Somuah who worked in the same professional field as yours but we were aware of your devotion to your wife and children and your deep faith and believe in our Lord Jesus Christ.
May you rest in Peace in the bosom of the Lord your God.
Dr. Somuah, Nante yie. Dr Somuah da yie! Onyame nfa wo nsie!!

Dr. Sam, am still waiting for your response to my Father's Day message I sent you. You always reply my messages not matter how long it take you to read, unfortunately this last message sent was never replied till I heard of your demise. Wofa Yaw you're a hero in your time and I cherish the time I spent with you at the presidency and KnowledgeTree. May you find rest with your maker till we meet again, Dr. Sam Somuah.

I am very sad to hear about Sam’s death. Devastating news. Extremely kind to me and my daughter Mary.
I remember a long time ago during our Secondary School years. Sam was always my partner going on outreach at Scripture Union camp which we attended every year. We have been very good friends.
My heart goes out to Harriet and the children. Surely as Psalm 116:15 says: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful servants”. The Lord will make everything plain and we will understand it all one day.
May Sam rest gently and peacefully in the bosom of the Almighty.
Da yie
July 13, 2022

It was with a very heavy heart and sorrow that I heard the passing of Dr Sam Somuah.
What a shock and how devastating this news was to me personally and the rest of of some of my colleagues at the University of Ghana Computing Systems and his family.

What I could say on such occasion was that, God is still seated on His throne and He will see the family through it all. I can't just believe it but that is life.

I and many others believe the Late Dr Sam Somuah has paid his dues by impacting many lives in many ways and completed his assignment on earth.
He spent most of his professional life to challenge and bring the best out of all who came into contact with him and has indeed left an indelible mark amongst many colleagues in the IT fraternity and individuals here in Ghana and abroad not forgetting how he worked tirelessly with others to establish the University of Ghana Computing Systems (UGCS) from the three existing IT entities which hitherto were then supporting the various IT platforms in the University. 
Dr. Sam was to later to lead UGCS through transformational projects to set up the first of its kind a Data Canter at the University of Ghana with a private cloud through the Chinese Phase two ICT project with Unisplendour Software Systems Company Ltd a Chinese IT Company.
If UGCS is making any major inroads in the running of UG today, Dr. Sam is one of the key persons to mention for any credit.
I will miss his wonderful counselling and mentorship to me and we shall sorely missed him but we know the good Lord will keep him in His bosom until we meet again in Heaven.
May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord. Amen.
July 13, 2022
July 13, 2022
Rest in perfect, Uncle Sam. May God Almighty comfort the family during this difficult time.
July 12, 2022
July 12, 2022
You coached me well, I truly appreciate every bit of lesson you taught me since the first day we met. I will surely pass down the knowledge and make sure the source is known.
Rest well my soldier

Rest well Teacher
Rest well HELPER.

July 12, 2022
Dr. Sam, so sad to hear that my family and I have lost a friend, very special and dear to our hearts. Our “vacation man” is gone but we know he is resting with the Lord. Dr. Sam and wife, Auntie Harriet chose my husband and I to be their friends. He really cherished us so dearly and we do as well cherished and appreciated him so much. We named him “vacation man” because of the fun and good times we had with him. We are already missing him. May his soul Rest In perfect Peace.
Dr. Sam, you will be fondly remembered by my husband, Seth and I.
May the Lord keep you in His bosom
Rest in perfect peace
July 12, 2022

You gave me the chance to shine. You employed me at SISCO even though I was living at Agona Swedru and not in Accra. Thank you for giving me that chance. I will forever miss knowing you and working for you as your secretary.

Hmmmm Dr Somuah!!!
My friend, my Brother!!!
You have finished your race!! It was a tough one sometimes but you made it seem so easy as you sailed through it all!! The final hurdle was tough but in your usual style, you made some of us very hopeful.
Dr. Sam, before I met you many years ago, Gifty had said so much about you!! When we finally met, you became my friend and my brother from Kwahu!! Your sojourn at Legon as CITO brought us closer and I always treasured your visits to check up on me!
Thank you and Dr. Harriet for opening up your heart and home to Gifty during those difficult times!!
Dr. Somuah, my heart truly is heavy but the image I have of you is your smiling, happy self!! "Are you with me??"
My dear, you served the Lord and humanity well and above all you LIVED!!!
You are sorely missed!! The vacuum you have created will be impossible to fill. You worked hard but you made the journey fun!
Thank you for being my friend!
Thank you Dr. Sam for being a big brother who looked out for me.
Rest well! You fought a good fight!! REST!!

July 11, 2022
I am very hurt that you are not with us anymore... You played the role of a father...you made me know what it feels like to have a dad. From bringing me a birthday cake back on campus, to coming home to pack my stuff to go back to the hostel, and bringing me back home when school vacates. You paid my fees as well and made sure I was okay.. Went through the stress of getting me a mobile money registered number. I can't even hold my tears back... I'm thankful for the impact you had on my life. I believe it was God's way of doing things. God bless you and may he keep you ..Till we meet again Doctor Sam.❤️

This tribute has been one of the hardest things I have had to write in my life. Not only has it made me reminisce on the times we shared together at UST, Advanced Computer Systems, in bad times and in good times, but it has also, unfortunately, made it even more difficult for me to embrace the fact that these are now just memories.

As we part ways with you on your journey into eternity, Sally and I and my entire family and friends join together to wish you safe journey home.

Rest in perfect peace, dear brother. Fare thee well till we meet again.

Now the labourer’s task is o’er,
Now the battle-day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.

Dr. Somuah, we’ll miss your gentle soul and charming smiles. May God grant you rest and peace for evermore. Sleep well!!

Dr. Sam, your death has been a bitter pill for me and many others to swallow. Most often, I wonder how my life would have turned out if I didn’t meet a selfless boss and one of the best brains in the world  like you. Nevertheless, I’m so grateful that you taught me that all dreams can come true as long as we are consistent in our pursuits.

Rest in Grace Sir

Dr Sam you will forever be in our hearts. I remember you with your favourite quote," Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever!" So I am sure you are resting in the bossom of your Maker you loved and served so well. Rest in perfect peace!

Dr. Sam Somuah, like most of us, had two sides - the personal side and the professional side.

Personally, he lived for everyone else but himself. The sacrifices he made for others as though their lives mattered more than his made it look like (to him) “I/Me/My/Mine” represented the second, rather than the first person.

Professionally, he redefined perfectionism, which left a trail of exceptional accomplishments. Above all, his love for country was second to none.

Ghana, just as much as his family, has lost a great asset that can never be replaced.

Fare thee well my friend.

Words may not suffice to express my heartfelt sorrow. It was awful to learn of the passing of one of the most hard working bosses i ever had. I feel really gutted.
I pray for you to find comfort and eternal rest with the Lord.

Dr. Sam was a great man who has left a wonderful legacy behind. He was larger than life and he lived it to the fullest.
Now that you are no more, may all the beautiful memories be a blessing to you and your family.

Dr. Harriet please accept my deepest sympathy for losing your husband and our boss. May the Lord be your strength…RIP Dr. Sam

Hi Uncle Sam, I’m thinking about you on your birthday. We used to laugh about how we both have November birthdays. I miss your laugh and stories. The way I would describe you to people is that after spending time with you, my stomach would hurt from laughing so much. God bless the life you led and the joy you brought to so many people. I know you’re relaxing up in heaven.

Although i got to meet you for only a short while, I heard a lot about you through Suzzy and i always loved and admired you from afar. It was a big shock to me when i heard the unexpected news. I must say it was a privilege getting to meet a loving and honest man like you and to witness the impact you had in the lives of many. May your works and legacy continue to live on after you and may our good Lord comfort your entire family.

Rest in Perfect Peace Dr. Sam

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Obo Man

Happy birthday Dr. Sam Somuuuah!
I miss you very much. I've got so much to tell you.
The last time you sent me a link which had to do with politics, I told you not to worry your heart so much about Ghana politics and you told me you only wanted the best for Ghana.

Guess what? I was really waiting for your input on the just ended NPP's Flagbearer race; your choice, reason and all that. 

I really miss you, Dr. Sam. Thank you for all the pieces of advice. They are like a book/guide you left with me. In times of confusion, I ask myself; "What would Dr. Sam say on an issue like this"? 
This has saved me from unnecessary issues, countless times. 

Fellow Scorpio, enjoy your day with the Angels in Heaven. I pray they sing and dance with you. I hope there would be a biiiiig cake with champagne to celebrate your birthday.

November is not the same without you.

Do have  a beautiful birthday with the host of Heavenly Angels and know that you are sorely missed everyday, my boss and counselor.

Continue to Rest in Peace, The MidasTouch!


It’s a year on

Dr Sam I miss you. It’s a year already … and still feel you will be back again. Do have a perfect rest in the Father’s bosom. It’s been an eventful year and I have so much to say to you. 
Dr Sam my admission came through for my PhD for Intercultural Studies. Today I am delivering a sermon about the believer’s way of life and I remembered that you would have been watching online from your base.  I was going to talk about your way of life but don’t want the church to be sad so I will not share much. Thanks for your godly legacy. Thanks for leading. I just miss you. Until we meet on the resurrection morning have a perfect rest! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DR SAM

November 13, 2022
Dr. Sam, it's 1:00am of 13th November, 2022. Today is your birthday. A day most of your friends and loved ones used to look forward to with excitement and great joy. But today will not be the same; 13th November will not be the same again. Do you know why? Because this a day we looked forward to hear from you, talk with you, dine with you, laugh with you and take beautiful pictures. But today, the only thing in my heart is tears and sorrow because I will not hear from you, today.

November will never be the same again. Maybe some day, hopefully.
On 3rd November, I didn't hear from you nor read a birthday message from you. I knew November was not gonna be the same again.

Dr. Sam, I miss you so much. I pray the heavens make your day beautiful because birthdays were very important to you and you never missed a chance to celebrate your family and friends each year.

Dr. Sam, continue to rest peacefully. Please continue to pray and watch over us from heaven.
I miss you so much. 

As I write, I'm listening to;
"Through it all, I've learnt to trust in Jesus"
Later in the day, I will listen to;
"Ancient of days, as old as you are, you remain the same"...
I will picture you singing and dancing. I will picture you smiling... But it will not be the same. 

Rest peacefully.

Happy birthday, Dr. Sam
