Dearest grandfather, to you I have loved, respected, adored, and cherished our brief connection in memory, you had accepted me so fondly with the kindest of acceptances and forever I shall keep you close to my heart, not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss your physical presence, but I now move forward in feeling that your spiritual presence is in a better place and still lingering with that smile that was of so much comfort. I never got the chance to say my goodbyes and I do so everyday, you great grand sons Bryson dimitrius sanderson and kienan Adonis sanderson may have not have gotten the chance to get aquianted with such a wonderful man but I will do my best in raising them in the likes of you to achieve the same greatness and kindness that I had admired in you, forever my love till we meet again your grand daughter Ileah❤ - Posted by: Ileah sanderson (grand-daughter) on: Jan 10, 2015

He will be missed by many who knew him! Was a gentle and easy going man who loves humanity and had thrived during his life to unite people and fight against racism. I am certain His Soul is resting in peace! - Posted by: Eric Ndima (A diplomatic friend I met some time ago in Winnipeg, Manitoba) on: Feb 19, 2013

I knew the man only in passing and I loved him from that moment on. As with my own parents, long since deceased, I can understand the agony of loss but there is also a loving peace in knowing that they have moved on to a better place. May God bless him and keep him and may all our memories include him. - Posted by: Sylvia Fitzpatrick (Friend of the family) on: Mar 06, 2012

My deepest condolences to Mr. Sapong's loved ones. I had the pleasure of celebrating his birthday at the MEET-ME-THERE picnic. He was surrounded by many loved ones. I still remember his smile as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. May he rest in peace. - Posted by: Ebow Amoah-Gyampoh (friend of the family) on: Mar 05, 2012

I happened to see your Father Friday night going up to his apartment as always with his huge beautiful smile. He was always so friendly and had such good things to say all the time. I am truly sorry for your loss. He will be missed here in the apartment. - Posted by: Deanne Luna (neighbour) on: Mar 03, 2012

Alex, Selina and Chris. I had the opportunity to meet your dad once. He was picking up something from me for Selina. I found him a very gentle man. He seemed like the type of father who will do anything for his children. Sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Oliver Williams (Friend) on: Mar 02, 2012
