According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phil. 1:20-21
So sad to loose such loving and kind person.Byebye uncle will miss you so much.
Eng. Chamwada surely you are dancing with angels in God’s Kingdom. It still vividly lingers in my mind when I joined you at Muhaya while on foot walking and we both walked all the way to Gambogi. I was headed to Maseno University where I worked by then. We surely discussed so many things, including investing in real estate at Maseno and Loughborough University where you did your Masters programme and where I used to frequent on weekends to meet other African students while studying at Staffordshire University. Philemon, I have surprisingly realised that you were married in Eshikhati family, thus, being an in-law to the late Johnstone Eshikhati my Vasegwa through the late Dorcas . You were truly a strong role mode to most of us who were behind you! R.I.P brother till we meet again. God looks for the very best among the best and this His work.
