I have been "missing-in-action" for almost a year when I decided to call Lily Addison last night (exactly a year after I last met Risky at the STC Terminal in Accra).
Indeed, the joy of talking to an old pal was short-lived with the sad news of Risky's death. How I wish death would spare this genius! How I wish time could be rewound so I can share another 3 memorable years (in the same dorm) with Henry Offei-Akoto! But death, as they say, is an inevitable end, and it comes when it must come. I therefore pray that his soul may rest peacefully in the arms of the Almighty and his family may find solace through the abundant grace of God.
Farewell Risky. Our hearts grieve for you; cry for you; ache for you. You are fondly remembered.
Oh Kojo, say it and say it again! Risky's death is so shocking that one reads all the tributes on the site but can't say a word cos no amount of words can express the way we feel.
Hope all the family are well, all's well here and aluta continua, please contact me asap, have lost your details - miss you dread! Take care and His richest blessings be yours.
