TRIBUTE TO MY BROTHER PATRICK KOBLA NUTOR – James (Bob) Nutor

It is with deep sorrow, sadness, shock and denial that I write this tribute. How can I be referring to you in the past tense instead of the present tense?  I wish I was writing “Patrick is” rather than “Patrick was”. Patrick your life was full of family inclusivity.  You [...]

In remembrance of my childhood friend, Patrick. By Kojo Siaw Ofori-Atta

When I reflect on events from my childhood to date, Patrick was always there somewhere. He has been a life-long friend. We met in our neighborhood one afternoon in the early 1970s, instantly bonded and became friends as kids are known to do. We didn’t need any introductions – I [...]

TRIBUTE TO MY FRIEND By Tony Lithur

Thinking of Patrick: Walking on Sundays in Legon. Opening fresh coconuts afterwards. Reminiscing about cricket and football. Talking about the frustrations and idiosyncrasies of Ghana.
