MY BIG BROTHER FRIEND KODWO HAYFORD
I got to know MR KODWO HAYFORD better when he joined Parhow Keepfit club at community 2.
I was then the secretary so I had close interactions with most of the members.
Together with other close friends, Nana Yankah, Simon Agah, Nana Ofori Darko, Brig. Gen. AK Dzisi (RTD) and my good self, we shared ideas and had business collaborations.
We spent weekends together in Elmina and Akuapim Tutu and had great fun. In fact, Mr Hayford, Brig. Gen. AK Dzisi (RTD) and myself are honorary citizens of Akuapim Tutu – courtesy of Nana Ofori Darko.
When Kodwo got sick we all rallied together and gave him our brotherly support. Kodwo, you never allowed the sickness to put you down and so our weekend trips to Tutu and other places of interest continued.
Kodwo Hayford was really a strong character. His regular response to how do feel today was ‘ I am fine and very okay; then he will ask about my wife and daughter.
Farewell my dear brother, such is life, meeting and parting. It is time to go. Your friendship was a blessing and I will miss you greatly.
