PDG Olowu Olugbemiga

PDG OLUGBEMIGA OLOWU - THE UNTIRING ACTION MAN Ordinarily your death ought not to have come as a surprise and even shocking since that is the nature of mortal like we are but for the fact that we were all together hale and hearty in Speke Commonwealth Resort, Munyonyo, Uganda for the Rotary Institute. You were full of life without us remembering that you were a mortal like us that may pack up and go without notice or else how does one explain your sudden death for whatever excuse to justify why you died. When one of those doing good and action people left so suddenly, the only tribute the rest can give and honour the departed with is to ensure that what he believed and died in its course is not allowed to surfer or even stop, so Rotary work will continue like onward soldiers… PDG Olowu, you believed in doing good and you were really an action man hence your leadership role in Rotary world, you were a very active and always on the move, if not, why immediately on return from Uganda without looking back the next news from your end was death in far away Cairo Egypt where you went to address Rotarians few days after our return from Uganda hence the title of this tribute to you, PDG OLOWU - THE UNTIRING ACTION MAN. What can we say than to thank the Creator for given us the opportunity of meeting and knowing you. I pray to God the Almighty to give your wife - Rotarian Past President Margaret Olowu, your children, indeed your Rotary family and friends across the globe that rare grace to accept and move on in life with no or little stress that normally follows the death of a loved one. Afterall, as an author said, "there is nothing in death per se but agony of separation". May the good Lord ease the agony of separation for the family. Aamiin. I say good bye to a senior friend. Adieu PDG OLUGBEMIGA OLUTAYO OLOWU and good night. Tribute from DGE Remi Bello, FCA Rotary International District 9110
