Dr.
Alfred Ndebe Amah Sr.
It
is with great sadness and a heavy heart that
the Amah, George, and Clarke families announce
the passing of our wonderful father, husband,
brother, uncle, teacher and friend, Dr. Alfred
Ndebe Amah Sr.
Dr.
Amah passed away suddenly on Friday, February
26th, 2010 in Monrovia, Liberia. He was 60 years
old.
A
son of Lofa, Dr. Amah was a man fond of knowledge
and a master in the field of Organic Chemistry.
With patience and expertise, he taught what
he knew to grateful students near and far for
over 25 years. After a lot of thought and a
sincere desire to return to Liberia and serve
the land of his birth, Dr. Amah began a new
chapter in his life and was working diligently
in Monrovia as director of the Environmental
Protection Agency when he was abruptly snatched
from this world.
Dr.
Amah was known to everyone here in the United
States, Europe and in Liberia as "Doc",
Teacher, Statesman, Gentle Giant and an all-around
wonderful man to know. He was the epitome of
the very definition of his name: 'Wise counselor”.
A man who could simplify the most complex organic
equations and tell the funniest parables about
human behavior. He was an anchor for his children,
an excellent provider, a man of substance and
character.
Dr.
Alfred Amah was an upstanding and respected
member of the Liberian community, a full contributor
to the State of Maryland, and permanent fixture
in the upper echelons of academic excellence.
His
passing is an immense loss that will be felt
in academia, in our community and in the country
known as Liberia. We will miss him beyond comprehension,
beyond any measure of human thought. He was
our Rock. He was our Rose.
Dr.
Amah leaves to mourn, his wife, Betty George
Amah and their children, Alfred Jr., Alfreda,
Jaso, Alphonso, Stephen, Victor and Victoria.
Adopted children: Comfort, Sayju, Luther and
Welly, a host of siblings, uncles, aunts, nieces
and nephews, colleagues and friends.
We
love you Daddy, rest well, rest in peace.
