A video of late Chief of Defence Forces General Francis Ogolla entertaining his wife with dance moves has warmed the hearts of Kenyans on social media.
General Ogolla, who died in a plane crash on Thursday, was laid to rest Sunday, 72 hours after his death as per his wish.
It was after his death that never seen before details of his simple yet humble life unfolded with many crediting him for his humility.
The latest of that is a video of him dancing to the beat of a song as his wife Aileen Kathambi Ogolla records him while laughing.
The CDF, however, continues dancing even as he demonstrates to his wife that he is replicating the moves of the song's dancers playing on their living room television.
General Ogolla created good memories with his family members in his life and times.
Photos of key moments he spent with his family members paint a picture of a man who had special attention for the people he loved.
General Ogolla leaves behind a widow, Aileen Ogolla, and two children; Lorna Achieng’ Omondi and Joel Rabuku Omondi Ogolla.
He also leaves behind a daughter-in-law; Muthoni Njenga Mwaura and a grandson by the name Taji Mbarara.
The video of General Ogolla entertaining his wife elicited reactions on social media with a section of Kenyans lauding him as an admirable family man.
Here are some of the reactions:
