To a dear Uncle

I’m still in shock at your sudden demise, Uncle Chuks.

A cousin to my mum, a big brother and uncle to my siblings and I, especially Ike with whom you developed a wonderful relationship and friendship.

Thanks for taking me under your wings and providing guidance and counsel in my formative years.

Thanks for all the laughs and memories.

Thanks for being there in good times and in bad times.

We all mourn your loss because you were greatly loved.

You are gone but will NEVER be forgotten.

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.
