An amazing teacher and astute paediatrician. Prof was friendly, jovial, extremely intelligent and down to earth and he had a heart of gold. But to me, he was more than all these...he was A FATHER. He mentored me. He encouraged me to be the best I could be... always. He never hesitated to tell other people that he had confidence in my ability as a medical student and later, as a young Paediatrician and he told me as well. And that propelled me to work extra hard, because I did not want to let Prof down. He stood up for me time and again when he felt I was being given a raw deal. One of the things I admired about him was his unflinching trust in God. He was not ashamed to let people know about his faith. Prof, I miss you sorely. I miss fighting with you over your teddy bear, your textbooks and everything else I fought with you about. I miss your fatherly counsel, your legendary sense of humour, your sense of fairness, your brutally frank way of addressing issues, your fierce love for children. Rest well Prof. Rest in perfect peace. Abena Kwarteng Tetteh
