He is most remembered for winning a noble peace prize in 2001 and making history in the process.\u00a0 Mr. Kofi Annan, died in Bern Switzerland, August 18, 2018 at age 80.\u00a0 He was the seventh\u00a0 Secretary General to serve at United Nations. He served from January 1997 to December 2006. Annan came into this world April 6, 1938 in Kumasi Ghana and was a Ghanaian diplomat.<\/p>\n

Mr. Annan attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Macalester College,\u00a0 Mfantsipin School and others. Many people cast him as a quiet man and most loved him as\u00a0 Secretary General. I surmised they loved him to the very end. He was missed when he left the United Nations.<\/p>\n

Conversely, this Journalist had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Annan during my first year as a Journalist working for the New York Trend . It was around that same time that I met Queen Nuir, first at a seminar at the Roosevelt Hotel then again at the UN.<\/p>\n

When I saw Mr. Annan I walked up to him and told him I was please to meet him. He then\u00a0 shook my hand and to my surprise he slightly bow towards me at which time, I did the same back to him. He both impressed and intrigued me thereafter.\u00a0 The two things that stood out about him and that I will always remember is that he was so gracious and humble even though he had power at his finger tips. Thereafter, I got the opportunity to see him in passing several times at the UN while attending functions or sessions.<\/p>\n

I believe he was send here to make changes and he full fill that promise. He died peacefully and that’s what counts. He ascended to a better life. May he rest in heavenly peace.\u00a0 RIP<\/p>\n

Mr. Kofi Annan”s\u00a0 spouse: Nane Maria Annan (M. 1984-2018)<\/p>\n

Children:\u00a0 Kojo Annan, Nina Cronstedt de Groot, and Ama Annan<\/p>\n
