Tribute from Sandra: Thinking of my father is feeling I will never let go. My dad was and still is my hero. I could call him and visit him at any time and he always had a solution to my problem. Life is so different without him, but I am grateful I was by his side, holding his hand when he took his last breath. My dad was always in good spirits, even until the day he died. He was a true fighter and I will never forget the journey he took. My father never left our family home and worked hard with my mother to support my siblings and the family. My dad was kind and generous and had strong beliefs if something he felt was wrong. My dad loved to travel and when he retired, travelling to Ghana was a frequent visitation that he enjoyed but also complained about the politics in Ghana. I will miss the stories. Growing up I didn't really get much telling off as much as Lloyd and Lesley. I remember, my dad didn't like us to use the term "shut up" or "get off". If we did, we knew it was a "twisted ear". My dad looked after us all with love and disciplined us throughout our younger years and adulthood. He was always straight talking man and always looked sharp wherever he went. When I remember my dad, I smile each time because he was a funny character and when he expressed himself, happy or annoyed, he would do so, without pretending, just straight to the point. I believe I have some of his characteristics, especially with my smile and my jokes. At times I will tell my dad your a jokester and he would laugh, telling me that I am. He always emphasised to my siblings and grandkids that education is power and to always take education seriously. He also reminded me to know that life will always have challenges but to always have confidence and to be independent. Thank you Dad for your protection, support and giving me your blessings. Paris, Zana and Akua miss you greatly and will always have many stories to tell. Akua & Prince will grow up knowing Grandad was there childcare provider and loved their toddler antics. Paris and Zana miss you soo much and will always be thankful for everything you taught them and being with them throughout their young life. Thank you dad for working as a team with mum to bring us all up and my children. I am truly grateful for your helping hands, love and support daily. Dad, thank you for being you and bringing me into this world. I will miss all our regular conversations we had and our chit chats about life history, your childhood days and family life. Thank you for everything dad. I will continue to pray, stay strong with Mum, Lloyd & Lesley. By God's Grace my daddy will now be in perfect peace and will never be forgotten. Love You Always Your Sandy (will miss your voice calling me)
