On Friday, June 21, 2024, a retired senior officer of the Ghana Armed Forces and pilot (Flying Instructor) of the Ghana Air Force, Sqn/Ldr Reginald Daniel Lartei Larkai, affectionately called Danny Boy who had passed into glory at 77 years, was seen off at the Garrison Methodist & Presbyterian Church, Burma Camp in Accra.
Sqn/Ldr (ret'd) Larkai was also an old boy of my alma mater, Mfantsipim School, which he completed in 1965.
My siblings and I grew up knowing and referring to him as Uncle Dan because he was like one to us and connected with us even in our adulthood. So affable, jovial and a lover of children whose jokes always sent us cracking our ribs.
Uncle Dan thanks for making our childhood so memorable and though your sudden home call on April 5, 2024, came as a shock to us we know that you are in a better place. Rest in Peace Soldier!
