Hon Henry Saa has left us...

Ladies and gentlemen:

It saddens me to inform you that Hon. Henry H. Saa has passed away this morning in Foyah City, Foyah District, Lofa County, Liberia. I received an early morning call from our Deputy Paramount Chief of Kissi Community-USA, Prof. Henry H. Hali of Teaneck, New Jersey.

Hon. Henry H. Saa, who was affectionately called and referred to by our Kissi People as TEACHER HALLIE, was the first Representative for Kissi Chiefdom, now Foyah District, Lofa County, in the House of Representatives, Republic of Liberia. Hon. Henry Saa was amongst the early well educated Kissi Men/Women of our district and was a teacher for many many years along with his wife, Mrs. Agnes Watta Saa. Others were: Mr. John Kendor, the late George Saa Pawah, the late Hilary Dennis, the late Teacher Korfar, Ma Agnes Sia Kama, the late Edward Fayiah McCarthy, Mr. William Saamoi, among others. This is a huge loss for the kissi People in general as well as Lofa County, and Liberia as a whole through the Ministry of Education where he worked for many many yearss.

He is survived to mourn his death by his school days and life time sweetheart/wife, Mrs. Agnes Watta Saa, Mr. George Saa, his oldest son, Ms. Rose Saa, daughter, and Mr. William Saa, the youngest son with host of family members and relatives. Hon. Saa will be remembered for his valuable contributions to the educational sector as well as the political reform through which we a continues representation in the House of Representatives and a district status known as Foyah District. He helped to educate many many of us and today, we are where we are in life. It broke my heart because we didn't honor him for his valuable services to the people of Foyah District before departing for the great beyond.

On behalf of the National Leadership of Diompillor, Members, and the entire Kissi Community-USA and Canada, I write to express our profound condolences to Mrs. Agnes Saa and children, other family members/relative, and the Leadership of Foyah District . Words are totally inadequate to express our sympathy, but our prayer is for his soul to rest in perfect peace with God.

We will establish contact with our people in Foyah and keep you informed regarding his funeral arrangements and other information. We will also try to get contact numbers for his sons; George and William Saa for those who may want to express sympathies to them.

With total sympathy,
H. Kendima Charyoe
President of Diompillor
