A part of me has died today. The heavens opened and ended my father’s suffering.
A naval architect by profession, my dad achieved a lot in his 79 years. From building the first ship in Kenya – the ‘MV Mwewe’ that sailed across the East African coast – to coaching and mentoring the young men of Ngome Football Club in Mombasa.
Dad worked for Southern Engineering Company Limited, COMARCO, before incorporating HELMACO, which he led until retirement
Looking back, none of his achievements compare to the family man that he was; a loving husband to my mother, an incredible dad to his five children and a doting Papou (grandfather) to his 9 grand children.
