TRIBUTE BY SIMON AGAH
It is not an easy task when you have to write a tribute in memory of a close friend and brother. Brother because you always reminded me that we were not friends but brothers. And so it had remained until your passing on.
Invariably, the first calls I received every morning would come from Kodwo checking on me and every member of my family especially your pet boy Senyo. I remember the prank you, the late David Akiti, Rosemary and children pulled on me on my 70th birthday when you came and took me on a wild goose chase to Tutu – a day I will never forget. That showed the strong ties you had with me and my family.
I remember vividly the good moments we shared together not only at work in Mankoadze Fisheries but on several social occasions. Talk about football, we had our daily sessions on Manchester United (your team) and Arsenal which I support.
Kodwo always told me as for me, “I am an iron boy ooo”. This strong spirit kept you going stronger. In fact, but for the crutches you were using, nothing showed on you that you had any affliction. In fact, people kept asking me how you managed it to the third floor at TTV Ltd. on a daily basis.
Kodwo, your last few months was a tormenting one for those of us who had the chance to see and try to encourage you to fight on. But alas, the good Lord has a better need for you in a better world.
We can only say rest well in His bosom.
ADIOS AMIGO, ADIOS MY FRIEND AND BROTHER
