It was regular customer at the restaurant on the waterfront of Malindi that we at Malindikenya.net few years ago we had under management.
He loved the children of Kenya and helped them.
He loved Africa and Malindi, where risideva for many months a year.
He was also in love with a local boy, who like many others, had a son and another family.
An important but troubled history, as often is the relationship between two civilizations so different.
