Subject: Passing of Prof. Baffour Takyi
To:
It is with heavy heart that we inform the GSA community of the passing of Professor Baffour Takyi of the Department of Sociology, University of Akron. Professor Takyi passed on Wednesday, 18th November after a short illness.
The University of Akron has planned a Memorial Service in Professor Takyi's honor on Saturday, 12th December at the Anthony Funeral Home Kucko-Anthony-Kertesz Chapel, 1990 S. Main St. in Akron on Dec. 12, at 1 p.m. (Masks and social distancing will be required during the funeral service.)
Additional information is also posted at Akron's Department of Sociology website:
The date of Professor Takyi's interment, at Duayaw Nkwanta, is yet to be determined.
Professor Takyi was an active member of GSA. He organized a panel at the 3rd Triennial Conference last year at the University of Ghana, and had many collaborative friendships with members of the Association.
He is survived by his wife, Salome, and their four sons.
