He was very close to all of us the siblings especially me Agnes, our extended families both father and mother sides He was also closed to friends like late daddy Akinjogunla,late Mr Raphael Oladosu and Elder Joseph Oyedeji to mention but few

He made sure all his siblings were well catered for and always wanted us to be united in peace unity and love
