Name: Barr. ODIBA EKE KALU Relationship: SON Date: Feb 01, 2026 TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER CHIEF KALU IKE KALU Tributes are emotionally difficult, because words simply cannot capture an entire life lived. I won't be able to fully capture or articulate the father you truly were to me in one sweep. PAPA as I fondly called you, you were a father to me in all ramifications.Life gave me a second chance in you as my father, you were kind,caring, generous and open-minded since I knew you as father. You never yielded any ground once you had your mind made up. You stood firmly for your convictions.I don't take for granted the laughter,smiles and the frank talks we shared. It feels devastating to be writing your tribute by this time as your sudden departure on the morning of 6th November,2025 sent a rude shock down my spine. It was indeed an unprecedented rain but what can we mortals do ? For" God has created all things, for His pleasure they are and were created" I'm grateful for all the warm memories we shared. Iam thankful to you now and sure knew all along how much you meant to me. REST IN PEACE PAPA I WILL MISS YOU PAPA Your Son. Barr.ODIBA EKE KALU
