Kantai’s wife, Irene made everyone who was in attendance at Kantai’s burial to shed tears after reading out her tribute. She acknowledged all he time they spent together and said that she really missed him. She said;
“Remember cooking for us and not wanting anything to come in between family time, with you being the master chef of making chicken especially in your own unique way, taking me swimming at Kasarani and just enjoying the coolness of the water under the hot Nairobi sun.
Buying German Shepherds for us, which you were so fond of, buying me flowers just to appreciate me on a daily basis, playing video games and just enjoying being in that space, loving and caring for me and our daughter like the true father and gentleman you were.
I miss you, my darling.Your smile and touch.The nights, the days, our dreams. Even though you’re gone, you’re never forgotten. You’re in my heart always. I love you Chris K., my lover, my husband, my best friend. Rest Well my dearest, Love, Irene.”
