At the state funeral of the late Defence Minister, Dr Edward Omane Boamah and six others who have died in the tragic helicopter crash, his wife, Mrs Rita Omane Boamah, remembered him as a devoted family man and a loving father to their children.
"I have no doubt you would be a loving and perfect father of our children," she said in a tribute read on her behalf.
Mrs Omane Boamah also described her late husband as their children’s favourite teacher who made sure that there was a time to study, play and adventure.
"You were their favourite teacher, because you knew all their syllabus back to back.
You always had a strict time table for their studies but made room for play and adventures," she recounted.
"You were truly a family man, a definition of a genuine person with a pure heart of gold," she added.
