When I signed those dotted lines I was blessed with a family that loves fiercely..The OBILEYES are made of love..and then GOD went a step further and gave me a father, a friend, and all round superhero in you.

We were both vintage car enthusiasts and loved how you were my perfect date to fashion shows..
You had a way of making me feel loved, valued and precious and oh how you pampered me…and named me ‘Kikelomo’

You were larger than life, my movie night, perfect queens English speaking poshest spice intellectual convo, inspirational …stay up late competition companion and high five buddy.

You were a devoted husband to mum and a fabulous grandad ..my mind was not ready for this.. Daddy even tears fail to console ..I know that God blessed me with the best of the best in you and so how can I question Him when He was the one that blessed me with you in the first place..
