Mr Gbeke as his fondly called was happily married to Mrs Grace Agboola Adedoyin (Nee Olaosebikan) and blessed with Children and Grandchildren. He lived a modest, virtuous and selfless life wanting to impact the people around him. An avid reader, he invested fortunes in books and took particular interest in grooming younger ones. He was a role model to his children, family, neighbours and people in general and an unrepentant advocate for healthy living habits and lifestyle which he himself personified.
He is survived by his wife, children, grandchildren, silblings, nephew, nieces ,cousins and friends who will miss his rare and special personality.
He was indeed " the best species of a human being" as mentioned in one of the condolences received.
