The children of the late National Democratic Congress (NDC) Vice Chair, Samuel Sarpong, have expressed their grief after the sudden passing of their father in the horrific helicopter crash that occurred on August 6.
At the state funeral held at the Black Star Square, and streamed by GhanaWebTV on August 15, 2025, they read an emotional tribute, revealing the remarkable personality he was behind the widespread knowledge of him as a public figure.
The children spoke of a father who was present, loving, and deeply involved in their lives. "It is hard to put into words what you meant to us.
You were more than a father; you were our hero, our role model, our anchor, our friend, and our greatest teacher." "Time was fast approaching for us to keep you away from work, allowing you to stay home and reflect on your youthful moments while we cared for you.
