Dr. Muchinas work lives beyond his life with us. He was the most commited don I ever worked with in Karatina. He was an awesome accounts and finance lecturer. A great friend, consultant and a mentor to many. I remember every moment we shared with him at Karatina. It’s only God who knows everything and we always accept His will. Pole sana to Stephens family. We believe that those that rest in Christ shall rise again just as Christ came back to life.
May your soul rest in eternal peace, amen.
Your deep faith, family values, passion for education and extreme love for your family stood out.
You still remain a mentor to us as a family both spiritually and socially.
Your legacy lives on.
I will dearly miss you…always ready to help and loyal.
