“KOF was a fierce champion and tireless advocate for people living with SCD; he, himself, has had a son with the disease. Devotion to the cause of SCD through advocacy, research, and education was for him more than a career but the essence of life itself.”
“KOF was known for his warmth, humility, and kindness. He has inspired and mentored many SCD clinicians and researchers in the US, Africa, and around the world.”
