Cee-Rhule, I'm here with my test results for your perusal and advice. What do I do now?
Your demise is such a big loss of a great friend, neighbour, family friend etc.
You impacted many in your life and I guess your labour here on earth is done, so Your Maker called you to His bosom for a deserved rest.

A HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO THE MAN I CALLED DADDY (PROFESSOR JACOB PLANGE-RHULE)
I honestly do not know where to begin. You were very dear to my heart. A lot of people wonder how I recovered from multiple tragedies in life especially when they occurred when I was so young. Daddy PR, aunt Gyikua and family helped me a lot. Most of my emotional healing came from being around you and your family. I do not remember a vacation that I did not spend with you and your family. You never sent me away and with you, I knew no rejection. I remember one Father’s Day, I called you Uncle, and you were so upset, I was ashamed and embarrassed.
People wondered why we were not related by blood, but you had such a delicate spot for me. Your love knew no bounds and for that I am grateful. With you and your family, we travelled everywhere, and we all shared so many fond memories. We shared a love of gari, with shito, corned beef and fried egg. I used to ask you whether you would like some before preparing it and you would always say no, you were on a diet to slim down your tummy (lol); Only for you to take mine after I was done and tell me, “Go and make another”. I would glare first, then laugh and you would just dismiss me with your hand. You loved everyone around you. I would never forget you calling all of us, sometimes 8 children in all to come do your hair, nails, etc. You would accuse us for not telling you “your haircut” was lovely, for not gathering around to eat with you even after telling you we have had our fill, and how dare we come to Accra without living in your house. You always told me “Obeye yie” whenever I had written an exam and did not get expected results, but not without scolding me first. You never forgot my birthday daddy.
I am so used to calling you to discuss career changes with you, even before calling my own dad. One of my dreams after pursuing research was to co-author with you daddy. When my dad could not be around for my wedding, you stepped in without question and I was so privileged to have you walk me down the aisle. You have held all my children and they are asking about grandpa. Zoey keeps on asking me if you are feeling better. Your grandchildren would kick and scream when we came to visit you and it was time to go back. You had that rare gift with children, and they could never have enough of grandpa. I will always remember you for including me in your family.
You were always so proud of me like your very own daughter. I love you daddy and I cherish you dearly. You were always there for me. You had an extraordinarily strong impact in my life. I am who I am today because of God, my family and blessed support and unconditional love from you daddy PR and your family. Thank you for letting me experience fatherly love here on earth. We know you are making the angels in Heaven laugh. Da yie Daddy. By Dr. Victoria Ansah (nee Kutana)

We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
Uncle Paapa.... May your soul rest in Perfect Peace until the resurrection morning
You are sorely missed
