Loretta, Jordan and Jacob, may your faith in our Lord give you strength at this time.

Know that Imad has touched each of our lives as he has touched yours in ways that will impact us forever.

His legacy is each of you and all of us he touched.

His memorial will be services to our fellows that each of us provides in the same unselfish manner that his forum allowed us a venue with which we discussed issues of professional concern.

My deepest sympathies,

My deepest sympathies to Loretta and your sons. I worked with Imad on a professional basis. He was as highly respected as an engineer as one can hope for in a career. He will be sorely missed by those who got the chance to work with him.
