A beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin and friend. Charismatic, honest, resilient, loving and witty. You could always see him with a smile on his face no matter what situation he was facing. He was born in Lebanon to his mother Henriette and father Antoun, where he made sure to care for his parents as they became ill. He met the love of his life, Lucie in Lebanon. She became his life long partner never leaving his side for 40 years; whether following him to France for a brief stay or through months of hospitalization where she cared for him patiently day and night. Despite all the set backs in his life, he found a way to take care for his family and spoil his cherished son Aldo. He eventually moved his family from Lebanon to America to provide them a better future, even if that meant giving up family, friends, and his home. Raising his son Aldo and being a grandfather to Aidan were undoubtedly his most proudest achievements. He loved with an open heart and it is visible by the outpouring of support that many people loved him back. He will be forever missed but always in our hearts.
