Ghanaian-American Who Was Involved With The Development Of Fiber Optic Technology Passes Away

I know him very well when he was in High school in Cape Coast, Ghana. The high schools in Ghana during Nkurumah's time were great. Almost, all of them were boarding schools and people get to know other Ghanaians from other regions. That is the reason Ghana is peaceful because we all become one family. The education system were very competitive. There were good scientists and after the February 24th coup many of them left the country to America and other western countries. Too young to go. Rest in peace and we will meet again in the future.

Thomas Mensah was a Dr and simply an Afrikan. Not a American Ghanaian. If he had been a criminal the media would have referred to him as a Ghanaian. The ancestors had welcomed you home Sir. Thank younger your teachings.

He was an amazing and brilliant man. I was happy to have met him in 2019 during year of return

😢Why isn’t this being reported around the world on mainstream media.

We need more great men like this. RIP, brother.

I hoped that he trained and mentor young men / women while back home in Ghana. Children are the future and helping them grow and focus is the key!!! RIP THOMAS MENSAH!!!

Rest in Eternal Power Dr.Thomas Thank You For Sharing your Brilliance 💜🙏🏽

RIP Doctor Thomas 🙏🏿

We have so many great inventors among our people that have been kept hidden from us, but no more. It’s up to us to celebrate, acknowledge and remember always these black innovators. Family, this is one of the reasons why they do not what us to know our history. It’s been our creativity and the ideas born from us that has given so much to the world. If you don’t mind me saying, you should have his name within the title of this message to us. We need to start making a list of all the inventors who contributed so much to society. Rest in Peace but never forgotten. B1✊🏿

Thank you for your contribution to civilization also I have studied fiber optics back in the 80s.

Thank you, Baba Thomas!

Sad he passed but very respected. Thank for the inspiration and contributions 👍🏿

A Great Man with a remarkable legacy. Such a tragic and horrific loss. I pray the Lord Almighty comforts, blesses and compensates his family, because of this sudden departure. We honour you Sir!

Rip young king..

Thank you Doctor Thomas for your contributions to the world. Rest in peace my Dadda (RIP).

Dr Menser should be carefully studied by many young African scholars all his ideas including his scientific lifestyle. He is ours we should be claiming him and by all means produce many of his class in the future for Africa's development

An Outstanding citizen! R.I.P Dr. Mensah! Peace be unto his family.

74 is too young. Hmm....

Omg! My deepest condolences to the people of Ghana and Africa. May his soul rest in peace.

May our great brother RIP! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
