He led his family be his wisdom and by his knowledge of peoples ways. He was shrewd in his words of advice. A talented man endowed with resources who lived peacefully in his home. He was an honour to his generation and the pride of his Family. He was a Godly man whose good deeds have not been forgotten. His wealth will remain with those he helped and worked with and his inheritance is the store of goodwill he built up. His memory will continue and his glory will continue to shine out, his name will live on. This gathering of his work colleagues has declared his wisdom and we proclaim his praises.
