Tribute by Adwoa, Kwesi, Ekow, Aba, Michael, Daniel et al.

We will always remember our Senior Cousin Kodwo Gyim as one who always stood with us. We used to call him Uncle Kodwo Gyim because of the age gap but one could never tell from the cordiality of our relationships and conversations who was “boss”. Our cousin was a gold mine of information and life experiences. He always had us in mind and would call to enquire about us, our wives and children. He would then chat on end about sports, politics, almost everything. There was always information to share. Regarding his generosity to all, it was countless. He always had an envelope to help one out once invited to witness engagements, funerals, marriage ceremonies and the like. We were particularly enthused by his sense of humor which we believe was rooted in his Woode family DNA. We always shared laughter through phone calls and visits and we pray that our children will continue with same. Our cousin also loved cars, he was easy going and kind hearted. As cousins, we were gladly co-beneficiaries of the fish he used to bring to our parents. He was definitely a favourite with our mothers.

We had assumed he was on the mend from the surgeries he had and looked forward to his full recovery, so we were shocked and saddened to hear he had passed on. Farewell Kodwo, the Lord grant you eternal rest, Amen.
