I first met Apollos in Paris in 1976. I only saw him a few times after that, but I was always impressed by his sweet, loving manner.

The last time I met him was while out witnessing. We bumped into each other at a train station. He was with some other brethren who waved hello to me, but he made a special effort to come all the way over a railway bridge to greet me & give a hug.

He said, "God bless you for witnessing." and told me how in a few days he would be flying off to Africa.

Before parting, he waved and said "I love you!" and that was the last time I saw him.

I was deeply impressed by his sample of the Lord's love & felt something different about him. He always seemed shining & giving out to others. When I heard the news that he graduated, I understood why; he was a good choice to go help in the Heavenlies.
