We have been overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity and support given to us during his long battle with illness and after his unfortunate passing.
We would like to express our gratitude to several people & organizations that were instrumental in supporting us during this time, and facilitated his being laid to rest.

To his long serving doctors, Dr. Mativo, Prof. Amayo, Dr. Mumenya, Drs. Chris & Evelyn Wagaiyu and others, may your boundaries be widened.
