T.O., 

My big brother. Not a day goes by that I don't hear your voice saying, 

"Yoooo Chrissss, Zuuuly, Leeeeahhhh." 

I will be forever greatful to GOD for giving me a big brother who selflessly not only looked out for me, but also advised me and always insisted giving me food off his own plate- even when I told him I ate already. T.O.  thank you for believing in me and trusting me to give me  my start In College Soccer. I will be forever indebted to you for that. Thank you for always looking out for this Yankee  who couldn't never do a thing right in GA- his new world. I still laugh and hear your voice regularly saying, 

 "Yo Chrissss!" 

 "It's not you, it's juussst your cultuahhh shoccck that youuuuu are suferrrring frommm!" 

 Imagining hearing your voice, your amazing accent, and your unique incredibly unique way of putting things always brings a smile to my face! Whenever I picture you I always see your incredible smile, and to this day I still always picture you in those great suits and ties of your's. How you wore those Suits and ties when it was 1000° outside in August in Atlanta I'll never know! 

 T.O., 

 I promise  every time I pass a Golden Corral that I'll go inside, eat and sneak out some extra Rolls with Butter and give them to someone in your honor! Even if I have to pay for them I'll do it.

I know right now that you're  in GOD'S HALL OF FAME IN HEAVEN . I also know that when GOD greeted you he said, 

"Well done my GOOD and FIATHFULL SERVANT!"

In Heaven, save me a seat at your table T.O. You have my word that I'll bring you those GOLDEN CORRAL ROLLS- with extra butter! I'll also make sure that that your brother Ike,  Coach Rootes, all the guys, all your favorite Girl "Playazzz," and of course   Zubie,  are all there!

Love you T.O!

Your little brother in Christ,

"Yooooo Chrisssss"

Ephesians 2:10

So sad to read about Totty's death. In Port Harcout back in the day at UST, he was an absolute gentleman.  May his soul rest in perfect peace, Amen.

Mike Ok Amuzie

Incredible memories of our wonderful college days, everyone here has demonstrated how close our team was.  All of us from very different parts of the globe to bond and make wonderful friendships.  

We had a very close team which was the key to our success.  Totty was a super person, always smiling and expressing wisdom that was always positive.  Very intimidating and a force to be reckoned with in the center of the field.  He traveled far, as with Ike, to explore and take on a new beginning with all of us here at NHC.  He learned a lot and taught us a lot.  To see how he had succeeded and help others in this great game of soccer is a testament to his character and the love of the game.

As we all know, time flies by as we all get caught up in the paths that life deals to us.  I certainly wish I could have spent more time with Totty.  

I express my deepest condolences to Totty, family and friends.  Totty is and will always be a great person.
