TRIBUTE APSU '99There are friendships that transcend the boundaries of time, friendships that remain etched in our hearts long after the moments we shared have passed. Today, we write with both sorrow and gratitude, to honor the life of our dear classmate, dorm mate, and bosom friend, Peter—affectionately known as PK. His passing has left a silence that words cannot fully capture, but through this tribute, we hope to celebrate the remarkable journey of a man whose brilliance, humility, and dedication touched all who knew him.Our Journey at St. Augustine's CollegePeter shared a unique bond with us during our time at St. Augustine’s College, Cape Coast from 1997 to 1999. We were classmates in Arts 1 and dorm mates in Kelly House, and together we experienced the joys and challenges of boarding school life. Those years were filled with youthful dreams, academic pursuits, and brotherhood. In that environment, Peter distinguished himself—not by seeking attention, but by his quiet brilliance and genuine character.Reserved yet sociable, Peter had a rare balance of humility and warmth. He was approachable to everyone, and whether in the classroom or dormitory, his presence was always felt. He could be found reading or studying when others were idle, yet he was equally at home sharing laughter and conversation with friends.A Scholar of Distinction Peter’s academic achievements spoke volumes about his dedication. He won awards in Government Studies and twice in German language—subjects that demanded discipline and sharp intellect. Peter was often found mostly reading or studying. Books were his companions, and knowledge was his pursuit. His commitment to learning was not just about grades—it was about growth, curiosity, and a genuine love for understanding the world.His success was never about competition; it was about his love for knowledge. He inspired us by showing that excellence comes through diligence and focus. In Arts 1, he set a standard that motivated us all to strive harder.“Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.” - Seneca55
TRIBUTE APSU '99His Dedication Beyond SchoolEven after completing school in 1999, Peter’s loyalty to St. Augustine’s College remained strong. During the 94th Speech and Prize Giving Day in March 2024, which our year group organized to mark 25 years since completion, Peter could not attend because he was unwell. Yet he was among the very first to send his contribution. That act reflected his enduring commitment to the school and his classmates. It was a reminder of his character—selfless, dependable, and dedicated.A Friend and a BrotherTo us, Peter was more than a classmate; he was a brother. We shared late night talks, collective struggles, and triumphs that only boarding school life can offer. His calm demeanor reassured us during difficult times, and his quiet strength inspired confidence. He taught us resilience, humility, and the value of true friendship. His companionship was a gift we will always cherish.Gratitude for LifeAs we pay tribute to Peter, we are filled with gratitude. Grateful for the years we spent together, for the lessons he taught us, for the friendship we shared. Grateful for his brilliance, his humility, his sociability. Grateful that we had the privilege of knowing him, of calling him our friend.Though he is gone, his impact endures. His life reminds us to strive for excellence, to value knowledge, to cherish friendships, and to live with integrity. In honoring him, we honor these values, carrying them forward in our own lives.Farewell PKPeter’s life was a testament to discipline, integrity, and excellence. Though his journey ended too soon, his legacy endures. He showed us that brilliance does not require arrogance, that friendship is built on sincerity, and that commitment to community is a lasting virtue.Farewell, PK. You will forever remain part of the 56
story of St. Augustine’s College, Kelly House, Arts 1, and most importantly, part of our own story. Rest well, my dear friend. Your light continues to shine in our hearts.APSU 99 Action NkoteeTRIBUTE APSU '9957
TRIBUTE BY NII AMANKRAH TETTEHI must have met Peter sometime in 2007 maybe earlier, he was a Product Analyst working at The Retail Banking Unit of Barclays Bank.There must have been a number of encounters, but I barely remember any, except my perception of him: it was of a young man who seemed pretty clear where he was headed even then, I remember thinking of him as a man with much between his ears, a very articulate young man who would amount to much.I remember hearing his appointment as Branch Manager at Ashaiman branch and thinking a brilliant stroke, the results were evident as Ashaiman rose in the charts as one of our best performing branches, no mean feat in those days. I remember Peter was soon manager of some of our larger branches in the Network and was recognized as one of the most capable of Rising Retail Leaders.But I got to really know Peter when we worked together as colleague Area Managers in Henry Baye's team. I was new to this role and was eager to learn. I knew very little about RetailBanking and needed guidance. I observed, quietly, there was so much to learn from the different managers, they had different temperaments and just as many ways to do things. Even then, I found him very intriguing. He was articulate, measured, intelligent and understood the business in an unusually numerate manner. His time as a Product Analyst was beginning to bear fruit.Those were exciting, heady, years for me, my own baptism of fire. I learnt ferociously from my colleagues, I tapped into their initiatives, tactics, approaches, ideas, I borrowed unashamedly and learnt even more. As I learnt, I found out. Peter was rarely without carefully thought-out strategies, Peter knew his team, the people and they knew him. I watched how he led them. They trusted him. He led from the front, and did the hard work of thinking; of coming up with solutions for the myriad of challenges Retail Banking always offers. Peter Fordjor, A Man to Have in Your Corner58
TRIBUTE BY NII AMANKRAH TETTEHHe was never fazed or overwhelmed. if he was, he never quite showed it. He was always calm...very calm.Later that year in 2010, I somehow got tapped to be Head of Retail Distribution. I felt quite inadequate. But slowly worked through struggles, I was fortunate, 3 and a half years later, I served as Head of Retail when Nana Benneh, our Retail Director moved on. I needed a Head of Retail Distribution and honestly I was spoilt for choice, there were many solid, great choices. I chose Peter and I remember a conversation I had had with Nana about, Why Peter? It's probably why today I call him friend.The work of Retail Distribution required a leader with attention for detail. He missed nothing and if he ever did he conceded with grace and put in place systems that made repetition less likely.Peter was a learner at heart, his work may have tired him out but it also fascinated him. He was always discovering some new way to do things better, crafting his own rules on how things could work especially to give his team more relief.Peter was thoughtful. It mattered to him how his team felt as they executed their assignment, it wasn't just about executing tasks, he wanted to know they were also learning, that they were cared for, that they could come to him with their problems and be heard and helped. We agreed on how to lead in a very special way. He could literally complete my sentences on new ideas on how to engage our people.Peter was a gentleman. He was quiet, not much of a talker, but he was a man to be listened to when he spoke. I enjoyed our working sessions a lot; planning process flows for tasks in the branch sanitized for governance and service. We worked through dreaded RPC requests and papers, Substitute Branch Manager Programmes, Teller Requirement Models for Branches across Ghana, On Product Geomaps, New Routes to Market, Variable Compensation for Sale Managers and a ton of other projects. Peter had big shoulders and was not easily fazed by hard work. To be honest he made it easy for me get some of my most difficult assignments resolved. He would take on new assignments without complaint and somehow come up with view points and 59
TRIBUTE BY NII AMANKRAH TETTEHcontent that did him proud. Peter was reliable, not just reliable in being there, Peter was present and gave these moments so much of himself, you could not but remember how uniquely reliable he was. He was the kind of man you wanted in your corner when everything was upside down; he wasn't easily frightened, nor did he panic. He had nerves of steel in crisis, but somehow always saw people, not just numbers.Peter had a heart, a kind heart, he cared deeply about people, about what kept them up at night, we discussed so many times how we could make the lives of our people a lot better.Peter loved his family, He loved Araba and Timone, and Mikayla without reservation, too many times as we wrestled with challenges in the business, needing to give more time to it. I learnt in time that he would give much for his vocation, too much was where it required giving time meant for his family to the business. You knew where Peter would be every weekend, quality time with Araba, or with his children. it meant a lot to him. They were his centre.We chatted a little more than a month ago and we had agreed to meet up later. It's hard to appreciate that I would never shake his hand, share a joke, share a memory or agree on God's goodness. I will miss him a lot, his humanity, his example, his brilliance, his heart and the many things that made him uniquely PeterRest Peter we miss you already, we cannot imagine all this without you. But I know you loved the Lord; so I will get my act together; some day when the trump sounds and the dead in Christ rise, and those who are alive are caught up to meet him in the air I will see my Friend again, we will share a laugh, He will find Araba, TJ and Mikayla then will take a long walk and catch up.Until then rest, rest my Friend.60
EDWARD NII AMU NELSON-ADDYTRIBUTE FROM YOUR ROOMMATE Words still fail me as I struggle to come to terms with your passing. You were more than a colleague; you were my roommate at the university, my course mate, my friend and my brother. We shared a room right from the 2nd year to the final year, we shared dreams, shared laughter, and walked side by side through most of the formative years of our lives.What hurts even more is the painful irony that only after your passing did I realise we lived just five minutes apart. Just 5 minutes; yet life schedules and corporate life kept us apart in ways I never imagined. It is a regret I will carry quietly. I will make a conscious effort to check up on your wife and the kids. I owe you that bro.I stood by you as one of your grooms men on your wedding day, proud and honored, never imagining that goodbye would come so soon. Your absence leaves a deep silence – one that echoes through memories of our student days.The Bible says: ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” – Psalm 34:18 and again, \"Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted.\" – Matthew 5:4.Today my heart is broken but I take comfort in knowing that you have gone to rest from the struggles of this world. Rest in the presence of God. I am grateful for the gift of knowing you and walking a part of life’s journey with you.Sleep well my brother, my friend and my roommate…Until we meet again.Through all the changing scenes of life. In trouble and in joy. The praises of my God shall still. My heart and tongue employ. - MHB (427)61
TRIBUTE BY PROF. AYOKUNLE OSONUGA Eulogy to a Good ManI met you for the first time in 2012 through your amazing wife. We instantly got along, knowing you were \"quarter Nigerian.\" You were never threatened by my closeness to Araba. So much so that during our graduation when she was crying, you said \"Ayo, come and please console Araba for me.\"Your home was open to me, my parents and siblings. You didn’t mind taking us around, despite being the \"Oga\" of a big bank in Ghana.Your death really threw us all a curve ball. I only reflect on the time you spent with us and the consolation of scripture: \"Mark the perfect man and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace.\"In the words of my sister, \"Uncle Peter was a good man.\" You showed us all love and you loved God.My MD, what happens now? Say hi to Jesus for us. See you on resurrection morning.Rest on, Peter.62
TRIBUTE BY DANIEL APPIAHSome people walk into your life and quietly change it forever. Oga as I affectionately called him was that person for me. For 18 years, he was not just my boss, but my friend, mentor, my teacher, and a guiding light whose influence shaped both my career and my character. Peter believed deeply in people and led with integrity, patience, and compassion. He taught me the true meaning of excellence, humility, and service—often without saying much at all. His guidance, encouragement, belief in me and unwavering trust helped mold me into the person I am today.Beyond his leadership was his humanity. An introduction from Peter to his Araba at a point when I was having a health crisis saved my life. He listened, he cared, and he always made time for me. Even for the most mundane of reasons Oga Peter would still make time to listen to me. His presence inspired confidence and the thought of knowing I could always go to him for counsel regardless of the situation is something I will miss. Oga your absence leaves a void that is still so surreal.I will forever be grateful for the privilege of walking this journey under your guidance and cover, Sir. You will always be my Boss….63
TRIBUTE BY DELADEM K. LOGLOIt still feels unreal that I am sitting to write a tribute for a friend who became nothing short of a brother. Peter Kojo Fodjor was wise, grounded, intelligent, God-fearing, ambitious, kind, deeply focused, and a devoted family man.Our journey began at Barclays Bank, Ashaiman - 2008, as colleagues at work. We worked tirelessly side by side, catching the attention of our leaders, and together we made significant impact. Though professional with each other at first, we often found ourselves negotiating fiercely over how to split utility bills especially whenever my Direct Sales Agents reduced. We treated the business like it was truly ours.Over time, we discovered that we shared core values - our faith, hunger for personal growth, mindset, way of treating people, and our quiet ambitions. With every conversation, the friendship deepened. We laughed together, carried each other’s burdens, and stood by one another in moments that shaped us. We were never ashamed to be vulnerable with each other, knowing that doing so brought the right kind of support when it was most needed. I remember how early in our careers we studied leaders around us and intentionally decided the kind of leaders we wanted to become. We were criticized for leading with empathy, yet today many of those same voices have embraced that very approach - one that delivers exceptional results consistently without destroying relationships. We also agreed on a decision-making model that has helped us make quality decisions over the years.Peter, it hurts me deeply to accept that you are no longer here. My heart skips a beat whenever I see the CAL Bank logo; it stirs such a strange and painful feeling within me because of your association with the Bank.Peter, we know you were yet to reach your fullest potential. Hmmm… but our God knows best. Your absence leaves a void that is hard to fill. I find myself asking, “What would Peter’s perspective be on this issue? What would Peter have done?” I will miss your balanced views, your thoughtful mind, and the frank, intellectually 64
TRIBUTE BY DELADEM K. LOGLO stimulating conversations that shaped us.Your passing is a sharp reminder of how unpredictable life is. It has deepened my reflections on purpose and the need to be conscious of the legacy we leave behind. For all is vanity and a chasing after the wind.Thank you, my brother, for your friendship, for the imprint you left on my life, and for the way we grew side by side, full of admiration for each other.As we gather today, may we all be reminded to choose what matters most in eternity, make impact while we can, and also savour the fruits of our labour.My boss. My brother.May the Almighty God receive you into His bosom and grant you rest until we meet again.“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12.Amen.65
TRIBUTE BY MAJ. RASHID AWUDU RAHMAN Dear Peter,Whenever words failed me, I would borrow two of your favourites: “we move.” So simple, yet so profound. Those words became your quiet manifesto; a succinct expression of the courage, resolve, and grace with which you faced a trial that is still unimaginable to me. Today, while words still fail me, we do not “move.” Today, we pause; to honour who you were. A man on the rise, taken from us far too early; the message in the shirt was really a given. A thoughtful man, measured in speech and temperament; you were the proper “cool, calm and collected.” A selfless man who consistently placed the needs of others before his own, even when his own wellbeing was being tested; yes, we are all holding up the best we can.Indeed, a man who showed me in the last 6 years what it truly meant to be Husband, Father, Brother and Friend. Sir, you knew the work and showed us that you did! So thank you Peter.Thank you for the moments you gave my back-born; she was never quiet about these. Thank you for your words, even when speech was costly– that advice brought clarity and continues to echo. You remained kind until the end, and it was because that’s who you were, so lastly Thank you for leaving us with the example of you.Rest well, Peter.Respectfully submitted, Your heartbroken “neuro c d s”66
TRIBUTE BY MARK RUDY LEKEYAnamu, this wasn’t the plan. Our journey began in the blissful 90s, stretching from Nii Boi Town to Ampoma Ashieyie. Back then, life was simple: basketball, video games, and jumping the walls between Aja’s and Mr. Tanson’s without a care in the world. Even as we grew, we still stayed connected. Whether I was running from Adisco to check on you at Augusco or vice-versa, or our later escapades swimming at Berjaya Elmina during our university days. Life happened and we both found ourselves in the banking sector, but no matter how busy life got, we always found our way back to our roots. We would catch up every now and then and when we did we would speak Nkonya mimicking the ' rural' version of how our parents spoke and laugh till our ribs ached. I’d call you \"Peks\" and you’d shout \"Ruudboy!\" in return. Peks, I miss you, I’m still waiting for that hangout we planned, but I take comfort knowing God needed you more. Rest assured, I will be the uncle TJ and MK need. Give my love to Aunty Emma and Aja. Rest well, my brother.Mark Rudy Lekey67
