The Ocloo family, along with the elders and executives of the Ewe Association of Metropolitan Chicago, deeply regret to announce the passing of Mr. Hope James Ocloo earlier this week in Accra, Ghana, after a brief illness.
The announcement was made by the President of the Association, Ms. Carol Amexo, on the association’s WhatsApp platform.
The platform was immediately flooded with heartfelt messages of condolence. Former association president Togbe Clement Timpo wrote, “What a loss and a sad day for the Ewe community in Chicago! May his soul rest in perfect peace. My condolences to the Ocloo family here and in Ghana.” Mr. Wolanyo Agbesi, the association’s linguist, added, “Oh James!! My condolences. May you rest perfect in eternal glory. May your memory be a blessing.”
Dr. Mark Kutame, another past president of the association, expressed, “Our deepest condolences to the family. May his soul rest in perfect peace.” Like many others, Clementine Forson was visibly shocked, writing, “OMG. What! Dear brother, may you rest in eternal peace! God be with the family and guide them during this sad moment.” The immediate past president, Mr. Steve Dei, also in shock, penned, “Oh no, may his soul rest in peace. So sorry to hear that. My condolences.”
Mr. Ocloo served as the former website coordinator and manager for both the Ewe Association and the Council of Ewe Associations of North America (CEANA) for many years. At the time of his passing, he was also the website manager for the Past Students of Ola Secondary School in North America (POGA). His consistent attendance at CEANA Conventions and Ewe Association events in Chicago highlighted his dedication and involvement in the community.
