Veteran actor Kofi Middleton Mends died of kidney failure, his daughter has disclosed to Myjoyonline.com.
The veteran actor’s first child, Araba Botchwey, disclosed in an
interview with Myjoyonline.com Wednesday morning that her late dad had
been battling kidney disease for some time now and was on dialysis when
he passed away.
He had been in and out of hospital for about two years and was rushed
to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Monday dawn where he passed away at
4pm that day.
The respected actor well-known for his catch phrase, “Sarah, my socks”
and the television commercial for Key Soap had been off the television
screens for some years now.
He is also known for his role in Grey Dawn (2015) and No Tears for Ananse (1968).
The late Kofi Middleton Mends was a lecturer at the National Film and
Television Institute (NAFTI) and the University of Ghana. He stopped
lecturing about two years ago.
Araba Botchwey told Myjoyonline.com that one of her fond memories of
her dad was his attention to the use of words and the English language.
“Whenever he tells you bring that brown dictionary, then know that you have pronounced a word wrongly,” she recalled.
Kofi Middleton Mends turned 77 in June this year and is survived by a
wife and three children. He had five children but two had passed.
