Daddy was a family-oriented man to the core, very calm, loving, kindhearted, generous, God-fearing to mention just a few. He was so concerned and involved in all of our lives, always praying for us. Daddy had a special way of calling all his children. Mine is Yem Yem. Adiue aba omo. Continue to rest in the bosom of your maker till we meet on the resurrection day.
