Edward Osei BonsuA.k.a KwakuseiBiography of The LateThen I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from this time on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labours, and their works follow them." Revelation 14:13 The late Edward Osei Bonsu was born on Wednesday, 21st September 1955, at Gyakiti in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region of Ghana (then the Gold Coast). His parents were Opanyin Kwaku Kotoko (Okyeame Tawia) and Obaapanyin Adwoa Akuamea, both of blessed memory. As the firstborn of the young couple, Osei enjoyed all the privileges that came with being the eldest child. Nevertheless, he remained humble, respectful, and obedient. EDUCATION He began his elementary education at Gyakiti Presbyterian Primary School in 1962. (Back then, a child's hand had to be able to cross over and touch the opposite ear before he or she was admitted to Class One.) He later continued at the Presbyterian Middle School. While in Middle School Form Three (then known as Standard Six), he sat for the Common Entrance Examination and passed with distinction. Owing to his exceptional academic performance, Mr. Ofori Addo, the Assistant Headmaster of Nifa Secondary School, ensured that Osei gained admission to the school in 1971. Kwakusei was the delight of almost every teacher in the schools he attended. He was brilliant, neat, smart, and obedient. He consistently ranked first or among the top students in every examination. In 1976, he obtained the G.C.E. Ordinary Level Certificate with excellent grades. Edward Osei Bonsu later gained admission to the prestigious Accra Polytechnic (now Accra Technical University) to pursue a Diploma in Business Studies (Secretaryship), which he completed in 1979. Anyone who ever saw his handwriting would testify that Osei was indeed a scribe. He did not simply write; he seemed to draw every word on paper. In 2007, Osei decided to further his education by pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (Accounting Option) at Pentecost University as a mature student. His course mates affectionately nicknamed him "Wofa Kay" because he was the oldest in the class. He successfully graduated in 2011. WORKING LIFE After obtaining his Diploma in Business Studies, Kwaku worked with Unity Trading Stores, owned by his aunt, Mama Kwakyewa, and her husband, Mr. E. K. Danquah, at Drug Store Lane, Okaishie, Accra. He was hardworking, disciplined, and dedicated. Later, Osei partnered with his friends, Mr. Boateng and Mr. Brempong, to establish their own pharmacy, Eagle Pharmacy at Makola in 1988. His pharmaceutical business took him to many parts of Ghana as well as neighbouring West African countries. His entrepreneurial spirit also led him into the electrical appliance retail business between 1994 and 1996. Kwakusei was never a lazy man and would not sit idle simply because one business venture or another failed. He was always prepared to undertake any honest work to provide for his family. Among the various occupations he engaged in were operating a bakery, driving his own taxi, and working with a security company owned by his childhood friend, Hon. Samuel Agyekum, former District Chief Executive (D.C.E.) for the Asuogyaman District. Page 4
He is survived by his beloved wife, Grace Osei, and nine children: Gifty, Angelina, Angela, Nancy, Mavis, Ophelia, Michael, Owuraku, and Esther. May his soul rest in perfect peace until we meet again. Nantew Yie. Eventually, he settled into the vehicle tyre retail business at Atimpoku. He managed this business faithfully even from his sickbed with the assistance of his nephew, Yaw, and others. Indeed, he was a hardworking and industrious man. CHRISTIAN LIFE Edward Osei Bonsu was baptized and confirmed as a communicant member of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. He was later introduced to The Apostolic Church, Ghana by Mr. and Mrs. Danquah of Unity Trading Stores, and he remained a devoted member until his demise. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Personal Saviour and was baptized by immersion. He also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues and lived a life that sought to please God. He served faithfully in several local assemblies to the best of his ability, including pioneering the Mount Olives Assembly at Awoshie Last Stop, Accra. He was an adviser, a generous giver, and a committed servant of God. Osei remained faithful to the Church until his last breath. FAMILY AND SOCIAL LIFE Kwaku Osei Bonsu was a man of many qualities, hard as the Odum tree, soft as the wild cotton tree, yet as vulnerable as the Kakapenpen tree. He made time for every member of his family, providing leadership, guidance, and support whenever he could. He placed great value on family and respected our time- tested customs and traditions. Osei was always willing to go the extra mile to help anyone who sought his assistance, even complete strangers. As the Akan saying goes, "Even if it is in his mouth, he will remove it for you, so far as you need it." This generous spirit extended to his friends, loved ones, and his alma mater, Nifa Secondary School, Adukrom- Akuapem. He served as the first President of the Nifa Old Students Association (NOSA). Later, he became PTA Chairman while his son attended the school. He also served as a Patron and a member of the School's Board of Directors, discharging all these responsibilities with distinction. Osei was a father, a friend, an adviser, and a loving person. Like every human being, he also had his imperfections. He battled illness for quite some time before responding to the heavenly call to eternal rest on Wednesday, 29th April 2026, at the Weija Gbawe Municipal Hospital, Accra. Page 5
WidowA Tribute from“Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.” Ecclesiastes 9:12 My heart is broken beyond repair. My soulmate and best friend has left me, leaving behind an emptiness that words cannot describe. I pray that God will grant me the strength and courage to carry on through this painful journey, as I struggle to come to terms with the heartache of losing you. I remember the first time we met at Akwamufie during a funeral. You showed interest in me, and we became friends before eventually getting married. You were such a responsible husband and a devoted Christian. You introduced me to The Apostolic Church Ghana, where you worshipped. From North Kaneshie Assembly to Bubuashie Assembly, you served faithfully and became a great pillar of the church. You gave generously, both in kind and financially, to support the growth of the church. Kwaku, you asked me to stop working so that I could take care of our children and our home because your business often took you away. I never regretted that decision because you ensured that all my needs were provided for, and I never lacked anything. You even welcomed relatives to live with us so they could support me at home whenever you were away. You were a man of wisdom and great respect. You welcomed relatives, friends, and everyone who came your way with open arms. You were a joy to live with, and I will always miss you. You gave our children the best elementary education because you understood the value of education, and today, the results are evident in their lives. It is often said that there is no perfect marriage because perfection belongs only to God. Yet I can confidently say that you were the kind of husband every woman would cherish. You taught me how to pray. Our weekend family outings, the jokes we shared, and the gift parcels you always brought home whenever you returned from your travels are memories I will treasure forever. You always made sure there was food in the house, and you lived peacefully with everyone. You were hardworking and always sought opportunities to do business. It was one of those business ventures that took you to Atimpoku, where you later fell ill. We moved back to Anyaa so you could continue your treatment. Kwaku, as I affectionately called you, you knew that during your illness, your children and I did everything within our power to care for you, support you, and surround you with love until the fateful day you left us. Kwaku, your side of the bed is empty. Sometimes I turn to your side, only to realize that you are no longer there. I miss your laughter, your funny moments, and even our little quarrels, which you never stayed angry about. You may be gone, but everything around us reminds us of you. Though you are no longer by my side, the memories we created together will remain in my heart forever. Thank you for loving me, caring for our family, and giving us a life filled with love, peace, and cherished moments. Rest well, my beloved husband, until we meet again. Page 6

Mr. Edward Osei-BonsuA Tribute To Our Beloved FatherThere are people whose presence is measured not by how often they are physically seen, but by the depth of their influence. Our father, Mr. Edward Osei-Bonsu, was one of those remarkable men. Although his work required him to travel frequently to establish businesses in different towns, he never ceased to be our father. His love was expressed not through constant physical presence, but through sacrifice, responsibility, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of his children. Today, we celebrate not only the man he was but the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of resilience, integrity, responsibility, and unconditional love. Our father was a visionary who understood that providing for a family often demanded sacrifice. As children, we wished we could spend more time with him, but looking back, we now understand that every day he spent away was driven by a single purpose: to ensure that his family lacked nothing. Our school fees were always paid, we had clothes to wear, food on the table, and everything we needed to grow into responsible adults. Through his actions, he taught us that love is not measured by proximity but by sacrifice. Despite the distance, Dad never stopped checking on us. He regularly called to ask about our wellbeing, our challenges, and the decisions we were making. His conversations were never superficial. He listened attentively before offering thoughtful advice, helping us analyse situations rather than simply telling us what to do. One of the greatest gifts he gave us was teaching us how to think for ourselves. He encouraged us to weigh options carefully, consider consequences, and make informed decisions. Because he could not always be physically present, he nurtured independence, responsibility, and confidence in us. Today, many of the decisions we make are guided by the principles he instilled through those conversations. Whenever we encountered challenges, his words would echo in our minds, reminding us to stay calm, think clearly, and choose the right path. His lessons remain our compass. One thing we will always treasure is the quality of the time we spent with him. Whenever Dad came home, he made every moment count. He was an excellent conversationalist who could discuss family, business, faith, and life with equal passion. Every conversation challenged us, inspired us, and left us wiser than before. Those moments around the dining table and in the living room became our classroom, where life lessons were shared naturally through conversation. Our father also had a wonderful sense of humour. One of our fondest memories was watching him enjoy his favourite meal—a delicious bowl of fufu with goat or chicken light soup. After eating, he would let out a hearty belch and proudly declare, "Se WO DIDI MEE A HYIRA YEHOWA WO NYANKOPON" Literally translated, it means, "when you have eaten and are satisfied, bless the name of the Lord Jehovah." Over the years, we came to understand that this was more than one of his humorous catchphrases. It was a lesson shaped by his own life experiences and the wisdom he had gained along the way. Having seen the consequences that can arise from promiscuous living, he was determined that none of his children would follow that path. Instead, he encouraged us to embrace the values of faithfulness, commitment, and the stability and fulfilment found in marriage and family life. In his own memorable way, he used this saying to remind us to make wise choices and build lives grounded in responsibility and integrity. Dad's love was never limited to his biological children. His heart was large enough to embrace many others who came into his life. To numerous people, he became a father, mentor, benefactor, and guide. He believed that fatherhood extended beyond blood relationships, offering encouragement, opportunities, and support to anyone who needed it. Page 8
His kindness created a family much larger than the one into which he was born. Today, many mourn him not because they shared his surname, but because they experienced his generosity, guidance, and love. As we reflect on his life, we recognise the values he intentionally and unintentionally passed on to us. He taught us responsibility through sacrifice, independence through trust, wisdom through conversation, resilience through his example, commitment through his work ethic, and integrity through the consistency of his character. His life reminds us that success is not measured merely by businesses built or wealth accumulated, but by lives transformed, children raised with dignity, and values passed from one generation to another. Although losing him leaves an emptiness that words cannot adequately express, we choose to celebrate a life well lived. We celebrate a father who worked tirelessly so that his children could dream bigger. We celebrate a provider who never neglected his responsibilities, a mentor whose wisdom continues to guide us, and a man whose influence lives on in every life he touched. Dad, thank you for every sacrifice you made, even those we only fully appreciate today. Thank you for ensuring that we never lacked what we needed. Thank you for every phone call to check on us, every conversation that shaped our thinking, and every lesson that prepared us for life. Thank you for trusting us to become responsible adults and for showing us that family is worth every sacrifice. Though your voice is now silent, your wisdom continues to speak. Though your chair is empty, your presence remains deeply woven into our lives. Though our hearts are heavy with grief, they are equally filled with gratitude for the privilege of calling you our father. You lived with purpose, loved with sincerity, and sacrificed without complaint. You left behind not only children but men and women equipped to face life because of the foundation you laid. We promise to honour your memory by living according to the values you instilled in us, caring for one another, and extending the same kindness and generosity that defined your life. Rest peacefully, Daddy. Your labour is over. Your race has been run. Your lessons remain. Your love endures. And your memory will forever live in our hearts. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace until we meet again. Page 9

GrandchildrenA Tribute from TheTToday, with hearts filled with sorrow but strengthened by the hope we have in Christ, we gather to celebrate the life of our beloved grandfather. Though we mourn his passing, we thank God for the gift of his life, his unwavering faith, and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. Grandpa was a devoted Christian whose love for God was evident in the way he lived. We fondly remember how he would spend hours discussing the Scriptures with Jehovah’s Witnesses, always eager to engage in meaningful conversations about faith. One of our most cherished memories was the early morning devotions he faithfully led at home. Before the day began, he would gather us to read God's Word, share a brief exhortation, and pray with the family. Those moments became the foundation of our spiritual lives and taught us the importance of beginning each day in God's presence. The last years of your life were marked by illness, and for a long time you were confined to your bed. Watching someone we loved go through such a difficult season was painful. Yet even then, you taught us patience, endurance, and unwavering trust in God. Though your body grew weak, the impact of your life and faith remained strong. As your grandchildren, we each knew you in different ways. Some of us were privileged to grow up under your roof, learning from your wisdom, receiving your guidance, and experiencing your love and discipline. Those memories are treasures we will always hold dear. We smile as we remember the simple but meaningful moments we shared with you. Whenever the mangoes were ripe, you would pluck them from the tree and ask us to share them with our neighbours. It was your way of teaching us generosity and kindness. Afterwards, we would help clear the fallen leaves and branches. What seemed like an ordinary chore then became a lesson in responsibility, hard work, and leaving every place better than we found it. You also valued discipline and accountability. Many times, we were not allowed to open our terminal reports until you had returned from wherever you had travelled. You wanted to be present, to celebrate our successes and correct us where necessary. And whenever we misbehaved and the matter reached you, you would first allow us to explain ourselves before deciding on the appropriate punishment. That taught us fairness, that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard. One memory that will always bring smiles to our faces is the familiar saying you would repeat before disciplining us: "Abaa fata hwan akyi?" and together we would respond, "Ɔkwasia akyi." In English, it simply means, "A rod is meant for the fool's back." At the time, we may have feared hearing those words, but today we understand that every correction came from a place of love and a desire to see us grow into responsible and respectful people. Others came into the family after sickness had already limited your strength. They may not have known the energetic man we remember, but through our stories, they will come to know the loving, faithful, and principled grandfather who helped shape this family. Grandpa, the greatest thing you have left us is not wealth or possessions but your example. You showed us the importance of loving God, standing for what is right, caring for family, and living with integrity. Those are treasures that time can never erase. Today, we miss you deeply. We will miss your presence, your conversations, and simply knowing you were there. But as Christians, we hold on to the hope we have in Christ. We believe that death is not the end for those who trust in Him, and that hope gives us strength even as we grieve. Thank you for every prayer, every lesson, every sacrifice, and every expression of love. Thank you for being our grandfather. Rest well, Grandpa. You have fought your fight, finished your race, and kept the faith. Though you are no longer with us, your life continues to speak through the family you raised and the values you planted in us. We love you. We miss you. We will carry your memory with us always. With all our love, Your Grandchildren Page 12

SiblingsA Tribute from“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17 Akora, God knows how much we have loved ourselves as siblings. We grew up together, shared life’s joys and sorrows, and stood by one another through every season. The bond we shared was not just one of blood but of genuine love, respect, and care. To us, you were simply Akora, a name we called with affection and pride. As a family, we have walked through many painful moments together. We mourned the loss of our beloved parents, Maame Adwoa and Okade. We also endured the painful departure of our dear sister, Agie, and our younger brother and last born, Kwame Agyekum. Through all these moments, you remained a source of strength to us. As the firstborn, you naturally became the one we looked up to. You were our advisor, our confidant, and the steady hand that helped keep the family together. Whenever there was an important decision to make, we sought your counsel. Whenever there was a misunderstanding, your wisdom helped restore peace. Whenever one of us needed encouragement, you were there with comforting words and a listening ear. You carried the family with quiet strength and dignity. Your concern was always for the wellbeing of everyone. You taught us, by example, the value of unity, respect, and family togetherness. And now, Akora, you too are gone. It is difficult for us to come to terms with this reality. The brother we depended on, the brother whose wisdom guided us, and the brother whose presence reassured us is no longer with us. Who will we call first when family matters arise? Who will offer that wise counsel that always seemed to bring clarity? Who will remind us, as you often did, that no matter what happens, family must remain united? Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled. Yet even in our grief, we thank God for your life. We thank Him for the love you showed us, the sacrifices you made, the wisdom you shared, and the legacy you leave behind. We are comforted by the many memories we shared and by the impact you made on all our lives. Though you have departed from our sight, you will forever remain in our hearts. We will continue to cherish your memory and uphold the values you stood for. Fare thee well, Akora. Rest peacefully. Until we meet again. Page 16

In-LawsA Tribute by"A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth. Ecclesiastes 7:1 These words remind us that the greatest legacy a person leaves behind is not wealth or possessions, but a life of integrity, faith and love. There are some people whose quiet presence shapes a family for generations. Our Daddy or Daa, as we affectionately called him was one of those rare people. Today, we speak not only as your sons- and daughters-in- law, but as children whose lives were enriched simply because you welcomed us into your family. Daddy, when we married your children, we did not just gain a spouse, we gained a father. You never made us feel like outsiders. From the very beginning, you embraced us with warmth, sincerity and a genuine interest in who we were. I still remember the first time I met you. Even before I became part of this family, you expressed how happy you were that your son had found someone from a family you respected. Those words were not just a compliment; but they reflected the kind of man you were, someone who valued character, education, integrity and family above all else. I will never forget the day you looked at me with tears in your eyes and asked me to promise that before God called you home, I would come back from the States to see you one more time. Fighting back my own tears, I assured you that I would. By God's grace, I was blessed to keep that promise. Although it was not our final goodbye, being able to return and see you remains one of the greatest blessings I will always carry in my heart. Daddy, you were a principled man. You believed in doing what was right, even when it was not easy. Yet your principles never overshadowed your kindness. You listened before you spoke and welcomed every opinion with patience and respect. Whether one was a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law, you never showed favoritism or discrimination. Each of us felt seen, heard, respected and loved. One thing that will forever remain with us was how intentional you were in appreciating the little things. You often spoke about how much you admired the way we related to our spouses. Your words reminded us that marriage is something to be nurtured, and your encouragement strengthened us more than you probably realized. Even when illness interrupted that chapter of your life, it never diminished your dignity, your wisdom, or your faith. For almost a decade, you endured your health challenges with remarkable courage. During those years, your strength was no longer measured by business achievements but by quiet endurance, unwavering faith in God, and the grace with which you carried every burden. Your home was one where conversations mattered. You listened without judgment, advised without imposing, corrected without humiliating, and loved without conditions. That is a rare gift, and it is one we will forever cherish. Daddy, thank you for trusting us with your children. Thank you for accepting us as your own. Thank you for the countless conversations, encouragement, laughter, wisdom, and the example of a life anchored in faith and guided by strong values. Though your earthly journey has ended, the foundation you laid remains firmly established. We see you in the values your children and grandchildren live by, in the unity of this family, and in the love that continues to bind us together. As we say goodbye, our hearts ache because fathers like you are not easily replaced. But we also thank God for the privilege of having known you, loved you, and called you Daddy. Page 18
Sleep peacefully, Daa. You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race. You have kept the faith. Though we mourn your absence, we rejoice in the legacy you leave behind and in the hope we have in Christ that this farewell is not forever. Until we meet again in the presence of our Lord, we will strive to honor your memory by living the values you so faithfully demonstrated. With love and gratitude, Wo nsewnom nyinaa se, Nante Yie.

Oh how we wished the news of the passing of our dear Edward Kwaku Osei who we affectionately called " Kotoko" was a hallucination and that the said news was fake. But alas this was not to be. With deep sorrow we don't even know which adjective or noun to apply to describe this sweet creation of the Most High lying before us, but all the words that comes to mind fail woefully to fit His image and personality. Mr Edward Kwaku Osei, AKA "KOTOKO", how this name came about is another story to be told, was part of the pioneer class of Nifa secondary school now ( Nifa SHS) in October 1971, when it was transferred from a Teacher Training College into a Secondary school. He was one of the selected 70 young boys from basic schools in the larger Eastern Region, ( including Accra and Tema) and parts of Volta and Ashanti Regions. Senior KOTOKO was one of the brilliant five boys recruited from Gyekiti near Akosombo by the late Mr Ofori Addo AKA OKONKWO to join the pioneer class of Nifa secondary school. His life was marked by service, loyalty, affable, love and courageous and was always willing to try his hands on new adventures. As was in vogue in the early 1970s Senior KOTOKO was a member of the Geographical and Voluntary Work camps Association of Nifa and was very active during excursions trips to Dowenya and Okyereko irrigations Projects to offer free labour. Senior KOTOKO after his academics endeavor at Nifa and beyond finally settled on distribution of medical products in addition to many business ventures but he managed His busy schedules and still had time for His alma mater. That same spirit of volunteering in Him inspired His dream of a united body of Old Student, from that He mobilized His mate's and juniors to birth the Nifa Old Student Association (NOSA). It was not an easy journey, but Senior KOTOKO stood firm and became a founding pillar and served as president for many years, He was almost made a life president - a testament to how much we valued His leadership and dedication. He also became the PTA Chairman and board member of Nifa in the early 90s to 2000s. He established long term relationship with His school mate's long into retirement and I'll health and was even with us on the current General NOSA Platform before His demise. Today we mourn, but we also celebrate a life that gave so much to Nifa and to all of us. Senior EDWARD KWAKU OSEI AKA "KOTOKO" you were our father, brother, uncle and a very good friend. You have run your race well. Rest in perfect peace of the Lord , Nifa and NOSA will never forget you and we shall surely miss you. May God grant you eternal rest till we meet again in resurrection.

‘The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness’. Isaiah 57:1-2(KJV) This is a moment of profound ambivalence; a mixture of joy and sorrow. We rejoice that you are finally with the Lord, which is far better for you, yet our hearts are filled with deep sadness knowing that we will forever miss you. Our only solace in this season of grief is the assurance that we shall meet you again in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, where sickness and death have no place, and where we will never again be separated from your wonderful presence. Even now, your handwriting marked by unwavering commitment, exceptional brilliance, Spirit-filled insight, and an unflinching dedication to the work of God remains evident throughout the affairs of the Church. It was only because you repeatedly declined to assume a formal title in the vineyard of God. Otherwise, only God knows the heights you would have attained in His service. Through your life, you became the very embodiment of the truth that God can use anyone, regardless of their position. Today, though you are no longer with us physically, your insightful counsel, wise direction, inspiring encouragement, comforting words, and Spirit-filled exhortations have played a significant role in shaping the virtuous women, responsible men, devoted Deacons, caring Deaconesses, faithful Elders, and even Pastors we are privileged to have in the Church today. The four walls of Mount Olives Assembly will never forget how you charted a new course for every secretary who came after you. During your tenure, you distinguished that office with remarkable excellence, impeccable mastery, profound humility, and genuine warmth. We, the Mount Olives Assembly of the Apostolic Church– Ghana, are deeply honoured and eternally grateful that God blessed us with the priceless gift of your remarkable life and exemplary character. Though your earthly race has ended, your legacy continues to speak, your labour continues to bear fruit, and your memory will forever remain etched in our hearts. Until we meet again in the presence of our Lord and Saviour, may you rest peacefully in His everlasting embrace. Rest well, Mr. Edward Osei Bonsu.
