On behalf of the Ghana National Council of Metropolitan Chicago,GNC, and on my own behalf, I regret to announce the death of Mr. Anthony Kwateng who served as a partner and Vice President of Oakley Construction in Chicago.

The sad event occurred at the Little Company of Mary Hospital. He was taken ill on Monday June 22, 2015 and passed away on July 1, 2015.

Please join the Ghana National Council and members of the Ghanaian community in remembering the family during this difficult time of grief.

Oakley Construction and Mr. Kwateng himself have offered tremendous help, financially and in an advisory capacity to the Ghana National Council and the Ghanaian community over the years. His company and other sponsors made holding Ghanafest, the Ghanaian community's annual cultural showcase, possible.

Mr. Kwateng's daughter, Mrs. Akua Kwateng-Bonsu is currently serving as the Publicity Secretary of the Ghana National Council and his daughter, Akosua Kwateng served as the Youth Secretary of the Ghana National Council at one time.

Thanks

Ebenezer Antwi-Nsiah

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved Husband/ father. My family and I share your grief.
But remember that:
Those that we dearly love do not go away
