Father C. Torbor Won

The Won family announces with profound regret, the home going of the family patriarch, Father C. Torbor Won, in his 84th year. This sad event occurred at his Gardnersville residence on May 16, 2008, at about 9:45 pm.

Socrates as he was called, served with distinction in both the public and private sectors in and out of Liberia, giving guidance and counsel to the Liberian people and those he held so dear. Before his death, it was father Won's wish that he goes home just as he came into this world ; "a common man (without profile)".

In keeping with his wishes, the family honors his request that a life sketch not be published commemorating his home going. We his family and friends, know however that "common" is not a word used to describe this "uncommon" man, husband, father, brother, family member, friend, and public servant. Though we will miss him, let us celebrate his life and death with joy because God loves him best.

Father C. Torbor Won is survived by his wife, Josephine D. Won, his sisters, Won Tenneh, Won Weahdi, Theresa Doe Major, several children, grand children, great grand children, nieces, nephews, cousins, and the host of other relatives and friends, residing in Liberia, USA, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and other parts of the world.
