Ddumba told mourners that whenever the Archbishop was to come a little late because of other engagement, he would always send him a message to apologise as a sign of respect.

He had also dreamt of setting up a mineral water company, constructing retirement home for priests in Kampala among other projects. In my opinion, he has been a man of many dreams and actions. I have no doubt; his legacy will remain with us and influence us.”
