Dear Tope,
When I first met you this year, your personality exuded such warmth that I was overtly excited to have met you. You exuded a rare aura of one with a heart of gold. You became a trusted advisor, and a revered counselor. Most interactions we had were filled with such hearty laughter, excitement, joy, happiness that we would not want to leave. Who would ever know that behind cool soft voice we had a serious comedian who could crack ribs into pieces. You were such a jolly good fellow, smiling widely in the heat of work and executed excellence with so much ease.
You have left a huge vacuum that will be very difficult to fill. I will greatly miss you till we meet again.
This candle was first lit on the 1st of October 2020 and will burn for 96 years 4 months and 12 days.
