He retired in 1979.

The burial service was held at The Cathedral of St James The Great, Oke-Bola, one of the oldest churches in the country, having been built in 1860.

The funeral service was coordinated by Most Rev. Joseph Akinfenwa, Diocesan, Anglican Communion Ibadan Diocese.

Akinfenwa in his sermon, urged the people to embrace righteousness and seek forgiveness of their sins, adding it was the only way to achieve eternal salvation.

“Life out of church is meaningless and purposeless. We all must embrace total rebirth.
We should understand that things can happen anytime.

“What happened in Lagos on Thursday is an example. For what shall it profit a man who gain the world and loses his or her soul? It is not too late for anyone,” he said.

The service was attended by the deceased’s widow, Eunice, children, grand-children. Also in attendance was Mrs Grace Adesina, wife of the AfDB president.
