Responding to the untimely death
of Prof. Kofi Awoonor
Winston Davies
This news has taken us all
by surprise leading to a lot of unanswered questions.
I really don't know why he went there but knowing him he
had friends in both academia and the diplomatic world so
he might have been on a personal/private or a
professional one. No one is saying as yet.
This is a man I have known most of my adult life. He was
a very good friend of my late uncle and a bosom
companion of my brother-in-law, so I always found my
self in his company, in Ghana or in New York.
As an educator he had very few equals and as a friend he
was not only trustworthy but also one who stuck to you
through thick and thin.
His command of the English language made him unique in
our world. He chose his words very carefully for both
substance and weight. He never wasted a word and that
quality endeared him to some of us mere mortals.
Ghana has lost a very illustrious son and he will be
sorely missed. May he rest peacefully in the arms of The
Lord.
So I have started my
mourning process.
