Death Oh! Death! Why do you always strike at such a time? You always come with your ugly claws and grab the best.
We are speechless, we are sobbing.
Tears are flowing our eyes for one man whose love for serving humanity is incomparable.
Samuel Frobisher Owori, the Rotary International President Elect 2018/19, has breathed his last at a time when we in the African continent have been rejoicing to have our second RI President and the first in East and Southern Africa.
Death, you are so cruel! How can you take Sam at such a time? Who paid you death? We shall never forgive you death for cutting short our beacon of hope.
Rotary International mourns, Africa mourns, Uganda mourns for a man whose life has been nothing but Rotary.
So passionate he was to see that Rotary membership grows from stagnant 1.2m worldwide to 2 million Rotarians.
We will not bury his dream but will ensure it comes true. Determined we are ready every Rotarian to invite one Rotarian to serve above self.
In 38 years of service above self, Sam grew Rotary clubs in Uganda from 9 to 89. He grew Africa to an Independent Rotary Zone. He inspired many of us to serve humanity.
Always with a smile which became his trade mark. We shall miss you Sam Owori but will always be in our hearts.
Now I know Angels in heaven are welcoming you in glory. Resting in the bossom of Abraham. Chrlerubim and Serafim welcoming you and thanking you for making a world a better place to live in especially for the less privileged.
Till we meet RIPE Sam Frobisher Owori.
Thanks for your service above self.
