I was so priviledged to find myself in his company and his practice as his patient, he was so much so all the things spoken about in the obituary and more.
The last time I saw him he told me he would be retiring in June of this year,and we talked about how long he had been practising.Such a long time !!!
Dr. Onora left me with so many little nuggets of joy that I will always carry with me in my memory for the rest of my life. Things he said to me after I would tell him my joys ,as well as my sorrows . I was fortunate to meet his wife for the first time in person as the person who was the artist whose painting I'd been admiring for years !
I send my sympathy and condolences to her and all of his family I will keep them all in my heart forever!

I was born in Nigeria and raised in the United States, and most of my relatives were in Nigeria. Uncle Abraham was one of my closest uncles, since as children we used to visit his home in Canada every few years. I loved how he would entertain and take care of us and take us on tours of Canada. I also remember the many times he would use his scientific calculator to help me understand how to grow wealth. He showed me the benefits of compound interest and investing in stocks.
As I got older, Uncle Abraham passionately expressed his personal views and showed me the need to effectively support my personal views rather than using hand-wavy rationale. What was funny is that he knew more about American news than about Canadian news. I appreciated the fact that he would follow news stations of diverse leanings (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.). I distinctly remember coming to his office and seeing news articles from different news stations.
When I heard of his passing, I was saddened. His unexpected passing will leave a vacuum in the Onuora family of intelligence, humor, and generosity.
This is not the time to mourn but to celebrate the life of a good father, husband, brother, uncle, and friend.
With love,
Ndubisi

Uncle Abraham meant very much to me in the much too brief time I knew him. I’ll never forget the moment I met him at the rehearsal dinner for my wedding. I walked up to him as he entered the doorway, stuck my hand out to him and said “You must be Uncle Abraham” and his expression was one of warmth and pleasant surprise. He felt like somebody whose soul I already knew well, right away.
I loved hearing his takes on life, the world, and politics, and will always think of him with great fondness, and as a beloved member of my extended family. I am going to miss him.
Many blessings,
Nick

Uncle Abraham was one of my favorite people. I’ll always remember the joy I felt when we chatted in-person or on the phone. Uncle Abraham would always go off on a tangent about US politics and we would laugh incessantly at silly hypothetical scenarios. I’ll miss his warmhearted nature, words of encouragement, practical advice and distinct laugh. My heart is broken; however, I’m grateful for the experiences I was blessed to share with Uncle Abraham and I cherish them forever.
God bless,
Nyny

My brother, Abraham, was a sincere and cheerful giver, he was willing to do anything to help — the kind of man to give the shirt off his back. I admire him for his kindness. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to spend time with him and talk when I visited in October 2022. I will miss my brother so much. One thing that encourages me is John 11: 26, “and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” I believe this and I know that we shall all see again.

Dearest uncle
It's with a deep sense of sorrow that I write this tribute because it is still difficult to come to terms with the suddenness of your passing. I remember praying for a speedy recovery from the surgery, but God had other plans and we can only trust in his unfailing love that his will is always good. I didn't think that seeing you at NyNy's wedding would be the last time my family and I would have to enjoy your company. We probably would have sat tight and spent a much longer time with you. You were so full of wisdom and love. You are irreplaceable, we miss you so much but we know you're in your happy place now. Sleep on dear uncle for you have entered into the master's rest.
I pray comfort and peace for aunty Ada, Obi, Chisom and Dozie
Love,
Chidimma, Henry and Zina

Hearing the news of uncle Abe's passing felt unreal, I couldn't belive it, didn't want to belive it. Alas, it is indeed a reality. Uncle Abe was the very definition of a gentleman, a brilliant one at that. He exemplified a loving faithful husband and a caring father. As an uncle, he was reliable, full of advice and wisdom and he cared for his family deeply. When I needed professional advice for my kid he was always there ready and willing to help. I miss you already uncle; however, I am consoled by the knowledge that you have only gone on to our final place of rest. I can picture you rejoicing and cheering us on as we each run our race. It is adios for now, for tomorrow we will meet to part no more.
Sending hugs and prayers of comfort to aunty Ada, Obi, Chisom and Dozzie

TO MY DEAR LOVELY BROTHER, ABRA...OMEOKACHIE
--------------------------------------
Oh, my heart is heavy! It's heavy!
What a shock I got on Thursday the 27th late afternoon when Dave broke the news of your demise. Unbelievable! I asked him, you mean my brother Abra?. No No No!, I said. Ogbons and I spoke with Abra on Monday after his surgery. We spoke with him also on Tuesday. I called him on Wednesday but didn't get through so I called Ada who said she was about heading to the hospital to see him. She told me that maybe Abra's phone was not changed; that was why I didn't get through to him. Now, you are telling me that Abra is no more. What a dream?
My lovely brother Abra, my heart is heavy. I find it hard to come to terms with fact that I will no longer see you on this side of life; neither will I hear your voice...your kind soft voice, your endearing laughter.
Nevertheless, I give God the Praise and Thanks, that on the eve of your surgery, being Sunday the 23rd of October, we siblings had a video time together. We committed the success of your surgery to God in prayers, sang praises, read the bible, received exhortation from the Word of God by Pastor Chidi and wrapped up the meeting with Holy Communion....The Last Super. That was my last view of you. You even prayed for Ada and I. I thank God that were all together present this memorable event.
Oh, our consolation! Our glorious consolation is that for a child of God (believer), that you are, this life on planet earth is not a permanent place of abode. We are pilgrims on a journey to eternity. The life we live here is but a tip of the iceberg. Our permanent residence is eternity with the Lord Jesus. We rejoice that you found life with the Lord Jesus and walked with Him all you life. Great choice!
My very dear OMEOKACHIE! My TITLE NAME for you, I am missing you and will really really miss your lovely practical Christian virtues. Kind, generous, great host,gentle, humble, honest, patient listener, a shoulder to fall on and receive encouragement, sacrificial giver, a believer of equity and fairness .....
My dearly beloved brother, Abra, we are blessed of the Lord to have a brother like you, one of the PILLARS in the family. Our memories of you are lovely and we cherish them. Even though we are separated physically now, at the resurrection Day, we will all meet to part no more. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! Until then, sleep well in the bosom of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
Your beloved sister, Chary ( for Ogbons & Charity)

HE LIVES ON
To my beloved brother Abe. I found it difficult to write this tribute.
My dear brother was lovely, kindhearted and caring. I love him so much. When our parents were alive, during mothering Sundays or Christmas events, we used to play music and danced around in the living room. There was this habit my brother had; when i was living with him and his family at Enugu, Nigeria, whenever I was preparing a meal for the family, he would come to the kitchen and start eating some of the fried chicken parts as often before the meal is served. I would then ask him to stop it so others can have their share, he would respond that I can take some as well that he was not stoping me. We would laugh it off.
Last October 10TH being Canadian Thanksgiving Day, I called him and we spoke together with his lovely wife sister Ada. She complained to me that my brother was barging into the kitchen and was doing his usual stuff. I joked with her saying that it was his stock in trade, we all laughed it off.
Again, I remembered those days in Enugu. Most times when our siblings Bro Dave and sister Charity were around, we would gist as siblings laughing and making noise all night long.
When on October 27TH I got a call from my brother Dave that he was dead, I could not believe it because I spoke with him the day before. I wailed and wailed; however, I cannot question God our father. My only consolation is that we all as siblings had a wonderful communion service on Sunday October 23RD. I thank God for that memorable day with him. Keep loving you my doctor brother, and by the grace of God we shall see again on the ressuration morning.
Your baby sister Gloria

It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that We write this tribute to you, Our dearest Uncle and Father.. Uncle Abe, Sir You were an uncle in a million; Uncle you were so kind, loving, caring and good at heart and soul.!!!
I remember like yesterday how you never failed to help and support me and my family ever since I lost my Dad and in my teenage..Sir you took the rough roads just to make sure We are comfortable, Come rain, come sunshine you were there to make sure we survive the rough roads.. Sir when I lost my father, you were our pillar of support. What were you not to Us.....
A Father
Our Boss
Our mentor
Our Adviser
Our super Hero
And our Earthly Angel
Your sudden death came as a rude shock to us., We did not expect it, even when you’re out from the hospital we called you, your last word to us was that the surgery was successful.. we thank God, and also prayed for speed recovery, not until We talked with Auntie Ann in few days when we couldn’t get you to send our prayers to you for quick recovery but was shocked when she told us that you have passed away, still couldn’t believe it, but we confirmed from your son Obinna.. Words cannot describe this difficult moment, but if this is the last time we get to say goodbye then we know we will do so with the knowledge that we consider ourself blessed to have lived this life as your nephew and Nephew’s wife.
You touched so many lives by your selfless and countless acts of kindness, you were too good to a fault!!! Oh Death...... you have robbed Us our earthly Angel!!! You were always giving and never expecting any favours in return. We wish we had more time to continue to appreciate you but we won’t question God, God in His infinite wisdom knows the best.May Our Lord comfort and sustain your family, your wife and children now and always. May God Almighty keep you safe, resting in perfect peace till resurrection day, Amen
N:b If relationship exit among the death, please tell our Daddy(your brother) that we still miss him everyday!!!!
ADIEU OUR LOVING UNCLE ABE

My deepest sympathy to the family of Dr. Onoura. I had the privilege of working with him on 4DN as a nurse for all the years he worked there. He was very supportive of each one of us and was always interested in our families. We could always count on him. We missed him when he left to open his private practice. Even though I was a psychiatric nurse, I needed some help myself and he was so caring and supportive of me. I could tell by our conversations, he was a man of great faith and that made me feel I could easily express myself on such topics. I will miss him.

My deepest sympathy to you Ada whom I recently met and your family. Abe Onuora was a man whom I am certain touched many lives including my own. Helping me with his knowledge and wisdom , teaching me to see the bright side, to laugh not to worry about the "small stuff" in life. I enjoyed spending time with him and felt his warmth and spirituality of which I believe led him in this life. I am blessed to have had him be a part of my journey, thankful!
May your memories bring you laughter and warmth. He will always be with us in spirit...
