You are missed always.

I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Attoh's passing. I was a student at Cornell University and student employee at his research laboratory back in 1993 to 1995. He was a very dedicated Cornell Faculty member and inspired me always with his energy, candor, and ability to make his research of sub-surface Coronas come as just an undergraduate student.

My favourite lecturer, my inspirer my mentor who gave me uncommon understanding in Geology. I wish you had finished the book you promised me. I had been terrified since your last email in Jan 2011, in which you talk about counting the rest of your days. RIP Prof. You paid your dues.

Uncle Kojopa, Rest in peace

It has been such a great loss for us his brothers and sisters but as the Good Book says, we should give thanks to God for everything that happens in our lives. So we thrust he is in the bosom of our God. We would remember him always.

My sincerest condolences to Vicky and the rest of the family. I am sure Kodjopa lives in the heart of all those whose lives he had touched and so is not gone from us. He has only changed form because he is needed for higher service. So let's celebrate his life with thanksgiving.
