We offer our heartfelt thanks to the many friends, neighbours and well-wishers who visited our home, participated in the Celebration of Life, the Funeral and who provided emotional and practical support for us at this difficult time. For those who called, travelled long distances, sent floral tributes, cards and messages of condolences, as well as those who made charitable donations, we are truly grateful.
A special word of thanks to Pastors and churches in Raleigh/Durham, NC, Faith Based Churches in New Jersey, USA, that supported in numerous ways to bring comfort, Adeniyi‘s secondary school and university colleagues and friends that shared their memories of time with Adeniyi. Thanks also to local groups in the USA and Nigeria and International Organizations that supported him in numerous ways.
We also thank the Funeral Directors for their sensitive and professional handling of arrangements.
To those who helped in any way, your contribution made our loss more bearable. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our deepest gratitude. May the Lord bless you all.
Tribute to Dr. Niyi Ojutiku
My family got to know Niyi's family in the early 80's when we were neighbors in Nigeria. This close friendship continued on and blossomed when both families later on relocated to the U.S.
I know him to be a very caring husband, father and friend whose legacy of love and empathy to everyone would live on long after him.
He has an extraordinary sense of humor that is infectious and would come up with jokes that makes everyone around him laugh and laugh. He is indeed a man of the people and there is indeed never a dull moment around him.
He is also a great friend that one can always count on to have one's back through rain or shine. He is just always there for you no matter the circumstances and would always go out of his way to render a helping hand to those in need.
Receiving word of his demise was shocking and painful to hear about the loss of such a great man like Niyi. At the same time, one should not fail to celebrate his life that he dedicated to bring joy and happiness to those who are fortunate to know him and whose lives he has positively touched.
Adieu to our great friend, Dr. Niyi Ojutiku and may God give your beloved wife, Teni, the kids and all the loved ones you left behind the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss. God is in control and may his soul rest in perfect and everlasting peace. Amen. You will be greatly missed by all.

Tribute to Dr. Adeniyi Ojutiku
Full Name: University of Ibadan Vet Class of ‘73
Relationship: Classmates
Dr. Adeniyi Ojutiku was an easy-going, ebullient gentleman who touched all our lives in different ways. He was an expert in mimicking people particularly our Lecturers which brought a lot of laughter and fun that lightened our otherwise hard and dry classes. He had a deep conviction in his life engagements whether it be religious, occupational or political.
‘Niyi was remarkably patriotic to his country and very dedicated to humanity. He had profound love for his family.
We will miss him sorely and will always remember him with smiles, lots of which he gave us.
May God grant him eternal rest and comfort the family he left behind.
Please accept our most sincere condolences. We will miss him greatly.
Dr. Ify Uraih- Class President
