Fouad was always a gentleman with a kind soul. He was a great photographer. Thanks to Fouad, Ghassan and I have many photos of wonderful memories at the Lebanon-American club and many events around town. He was quick to volunteer his time photographing St. Anthony's Mahrajan. I remember Fouad photographing the children during their Communion while Father Larry was the pastor at St. Anthony. Fouad was so happy and kind while patiently working to get the perfect picture of each family. Fouad you will be remembered and honored Posthumously as one of the Person(s) of the Year this Oct. by the members of the club and the Town of Danbury! Rest in Peace!
