Tribute From Duru Onyinyechi Precious

Today, I honor the remarkable life of a man who graced us with 99 years of wisdom, kindness, and dedication. As a scholar, he inspired generations with his passion for knowledge, leaving an enduring impact on his field and on all who had the privilege of learning from him. To his family, he was a guiding light—loving, wise, and steadfast—filling their lives with joy, laughter, and cherished memories. His nearly century-long journey was a gift, and he used every moment to uplift others, pursue truth, and spread kindness. Though he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in our hearts, a testament to a life beautifully and meaningfully lived.”
