Philippians 3:20-21
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control; will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Every once in a while, we are lucky to have known someone who is truly special.
The late Kodwo Hayford joined the club when we were training at Parhow Club, Community 2, Tema and was known as PARHOW KEEP FIT CLUB. He served as vice chairman between 1994-1995 and was elected as its chairman in 1996 and served for four years when the club moved to its present training grounds and Assumed the name PREMIER KEEP FIT CLUB, Tema.
His tenure was loaded with variety of activities within and without. Other keep fit clubs from Legon, Dansoman etc. were invited to join us for exercises and competitive games like Bend ball, football, tag of war etc. at Michel Camp.
For the ‘fisher man’ that he was kenkey parties, with tuna and other species of fish were organized on special occasions.
He was the then Managing Director of the erstwhile TTV Ltd. The company club house at community 12 was always available to the Keep fit club.
It’s on record that he personally supported most members in various ways. In fact, Mr. Kodwo Hayford was really a generous person by all standards.
The highest of his achievements was his collaboration with a few other members like the late Nii Ayi Bonte, the then Managing Director of TDC, Lawyer S.K.B. Matanawui, Mr. Ofori Darko, Mr. Simon Agah, W.O. Quaye and his team of executives to acquire the land and prepare the present Premier grounds and raise the platform which now stands as our club house.
You will forever be remembered by the past, present and future members for the works you have done for this great club.
Mr. ‘H’, the many lives you touched and left behind are still laboring to speak of you in the past tense, simply because you live in our hearts and minds.
Kodwo was a special person to so many people and while we grieve his sudden departure, we would also celebrate the gift of having known him. Although you are no longer with us, your memories are forever in our thoughts.
Rest in peace.
