Yomi, Yoke, as I lovingly called him, was my brother and dear friend. He was my esteemed late friend Adegboyega's younger brother. In 1976, Yomi walked up to me at Burnside-Ott Flight School in Miami, Florida, where we were both students, and that was the beginning of a life long, loving, relationship, and friendship. We enjoyed our travels to many cities in the United States and to the United Kingdom visiting family and friends. Yoke was a charming, fun loving, generous, kind brother. He looked out for those in distress, and helped as best he could often with financial, monetary support, offering wise counsel, with care, and kind consideration. To Yoke's many friends, he was gregarious, jovial, and a joy to be around. He kept up with many, especially, with his friends from his time in Miami, his room mates Folly Adeoye, Sailor, his buddies. Inkey Aromashodu, Ladi Wilson, Tommy Lasaki, Gbenga Aduloju, and Tony Munis, who all loved, cared, and were in touch with him till his final moment. Yoke was much loved, and respected by all of us. He was preceded in death by his dear friend, Joe Adolo Okotieboh. Yomi remains dear in our hearts. God rest his marvelous soul in peace, comfort, console, and strengthen all of us who loved him. Peace!
MR ABAYOMI ABIDEMI OYEYINKA...aka..
AYOMEE...AYOKEE.
Words cannot express how much i have missed you. You were a good and genuine friend that one could rely upon in any given situation. Yomi always wanted to make people happy. Despite not having so much at any given time,he was very generous.
Yomi lived in the State of Florida, loved travelling and will come to Hollywood, Los Angeles where I stayed for a week or more regularly. He never got engaged in long arguments over whatever. Once he gave his opinion, he will keep quiet to listen to others.
Yomi was a fantastic cook in all dishes, be it Nigerian or Continental. If you were in the same vehicle with him driving, you would be pressing on an imaginary brake wherever you are seated.
AYOMEE, keep on resting in perfect peace with the Lord.
