From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord’s name is to be praised ….. “Ps. 113:3”
 
Daddy Akinruli, words cannot possibly describe all your unique attributes. You were simply a rare gem, highly principled, content, consistent, generous, humane, kind hearted, strict and compassionate. You were blunt, dependable, brutally sincere and selfless. Just like King Solomon in the Bible, you were full of wisdom and highly knowledgeable. You had uncommon grace to confront frontally life issues that came your way during your sojourn on this side. Your love and commitment to your family (both immediate and extended) and everyone who came across you was near legendary.
 
It will not be a remiss to mention the critical and reconciliatory role you played to bring peace to the family of Late Mr. Bankole Akinduyile (my Dad) when he was alive. God bless your soul Sir for the timely intervention.
I will personally miss your words of advice and encouragement at all times. Your sense of humour and deep perspectives on issues would be sorely missed too.
 
Sleep on Daddy Akinruli. Continue to rest in perfect peace, as we commend your great soul to safe repose with the saints triumphant.
