The 3 years we have been separated have indeed reinforced the fact that you still live on amongst us. Our thoughts of you are punctuated with so much pride and laughter. We hope that as you look down from heaven you are proud of us and who we have become.

Many are the times we relive your memories when we meet as family and phrases like, ‘liapana fikiri, ciana ngwaci kumuthi’ leave us all in stitches. This simply goes to show how you were a nice guy, Sam. This is why we decided to celebrate the legend that you are by the unveiling of your cross on the 29th of July 2017, at your farm in Embassy, Murang’a.

Always cherished in our hearts by your dear wife Maria, children Njoro and Stella, Ken Susan,Watty, Addy, Soxxy and Ciiku grandchildren Njeri,Tuma, Chui, Shigo,Wairimu and Ethan.
