Paul Oduro Aduouh was born to Mr. Akwasi Aduouh and Madam Akosua Yeboaa Beakuru at Asueyi in the early 1930s.
After completing high school, Paul (also called Kwabena - that is, Tuesday-born male) enrolled at the Ghana Baptist Theological Seminary in Kumasi, where he trained as a minister of the gospel. He was subsequently appointed as the first pastor of Adom Baptist Church, in Techiman where he diligently nurtured the church to gain recognition and respect by other denominations in the municipality. Paul’s commitment was not only to the church but also to the growth and development of the community as well. Under his leadership and inspiration, the church initiated and established a basic school which is now the pride of those of us who had the privilege of associating with him. In addition to pastoral work, Paul also dutifully taught at Asuofiri Roman Catholic Primary School in the 1950s and positively impacted on the lives of the pupils.
Paul had two beautiful daughters, Comfort (deceased) and Agnes, nine grandchildren and six great grandchildren. His love and affection went far beyond his children and their children’s children. He was loved by everyone and was an incredible father, brother, uncle, husband and friend. He seemed to instantly become friends with everyone he met. His positive attitude for life made him loved by everyone who knew him. His love and concern for the welfare of the extended family came in handy when he generously hosted Kwame (his nephew) at his residence at the University of Texas, Austin in 1999. Kwame was then pursuing a PhD program at the University of Kansas, Lawrence. Indeed, in recognition of his contribution to all and sundry, a grandnephew, Hayford Kofi Oduro, was justifiably named after him in accordance with our tradition and customs. He was a hardworking person and a disciplinarian and taught us how important it is to be self-reliant. Paul unfortunately suffered visual impairment at the latter part of his life. No matter what the situation he always had a positive attitude and never allowed his visual impairment and associated challenges to dampen his spirit and dynamism. Though we never had the opportunity to spend much time together for more than forty years, we will miss him dearly and never forget him. His memory will live on in all of us forever. Kwabena, rest in the peace of the Lord until we meet on the resurrection day!
