Opio A. Toure

Opio was a joy to work with when I was an intern at the Oklahoma County Public Defender's Office. I had not realized that he passed and found this tonight. Sad to know that he is gone.

I just want to say i love you i will always miss you i hope you had a great times during your life but you alway be with me in my heart grandfather.

Hello,
I just wanted to say "Hi" and I love all of you. Baba Opio is my God-father and I will miss him dearly. I do everything in my power to achieve my goals and be the best at whatever I do. I know how much he spoke up for "us" and that itself gave me the strengh to keep pushing... He always told me "be strong God-daughter and you will make it though." One more thing..."Baba Opio will you say hello to Baba Wayne, tell him I love him also and I will miss him dearly." 12-16-08

He was an All-American Hero like
Barack Obama.
May he rest in peace.

Hello.
I paged for Opio Toure for two years.
Through that time he showed me so much and expected the best from me at all times. He always wanted to help people whatever the problem. Thats how I'll remember him.

As a graduate and former football coach at Langston University, Mr.Toure was always one of the guiding influences on myself and every graduate of Langston University. The Abanishe family will pray for you and your family.

Dear Linda, Jelani and Jabari,
Opio was a dear friend to me in the Legislature. I was privelged to be his deskmate for ten of my eleven years in the House. Opio was one of the most honorable and wisest men I have ever known. He was selfless and courageous in representing his constituency. Opio was one of the most elequent and passionate speakers in the entire Legislature. I admired him very much and I will miss him greatly. You, his family, were his pride and joy. We often spoke about his...

We were all blessed to have known Opio. I thank God for him. I love you all.
