Amo Yusuf was a very much respected elder of the Ramallah community. He was a man of dignity and honor and never said an unkind word about anyone. He encouraged young and old to achieve great things and was proud when they did so, whether it was his own children and grandchildren, or family members of his beloved Ramallah community,for he loved to see them all achieve success. He was proud of his heritage and of his Faith and instilled those same traits in his children and grandchildren. May his memory be eternal and may God comfort his family; however, his life should be celebrated, for he lived a long and fruitful life, surrounded by his family and the Ramallah community who loved, honored, and respected him. God grant him rest where the just repose.
