    Hi Malum,

    I am very sad to hear of Henry Kila's passing on the EM TV 6pm news bulletin. I have know Mr. Kila like a lot of Papua New Guineans for over 20 years and it is a great loss to the business community as well as to the Central people and PNG.

    Henry was a great friend with a great sence of humour and goodwill towards others. He liked to be around people and was very helpful in many ways, and will be dearly missed by all who came into contact with him; either in their professional and personal capacities.

    I join with fellow PNGeans and his Delena village people and his New Ireland family and tambus to pay tribute to this great Papua New Guinean who did a lot for the development of business, sport, his province and country PNG.

    May our friend and brother Henry Kila rest in peace with our dear Lord and creator of our universe.

    Farwell and God bless, brother.

    Uncle Henry was a mentor,
    to me he was known as this great man that we all respected and loved. He was caring and funny, was always the best MC, made everyone at ease with very little effort. He would walk into a room & everyone's faces would light up. We shared great stories, some I would never forget. His words of inspiration & perseverance, I still remember like it was just yesterday. My heart hurts just writing this, he was a very special uncle.
    Uncle Heich, we raise our glasses to you,
    Miss you already,
    K. Aila Polo
