Hard working Ugandan who had his Country at Heart May God Rest His Soul in Eternal Peace
Pray that one of his children takes up his amiable character
Once
again a light in our land of Uganda is sadly extinguished…I met him
briefly in Gulu in March last year. As a son of the Royal House of
Patiko, the clan has again lost a jewel. This is the time for the young
generation to realize that soon all the elders won’t be around any
longer. Therefore, young men and women of Uganda wise up and begin to
take responsibility of managing the country. The future is now. May
the Lord keep and strengthen the immediate family as well as the Patiko
and Amuru Clans during this time of mourning as we lay our kinsman to
eternal rest. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
