I don’t know what to say. You’ve really shown us that you loved Sam and you love us.
I have not come here to make a speech but I wanted to say thank you all for loving Sam.

The only thing I wanted to tell you is that Sam is gone but Rotary Must move on. Some of you are saying that now that Sam is dead, we shall not go to Toronto. You must go to Toronto. I must go to Toronto. Let’s increase on our numbers in Africa so that we have two Directors sitting on a Board. The light of Rotary must shine even more after Sam has long gone.
Thank you very much for coming those who traveled from far and near.
