Elias Abdullah Hannoush

My wife Amy and I were very moved by the wonderful obituary detailing Eli's amazing life. I first met him in 1984 when he opened his store in Crossgates. I have been a loyal well served Hannoush customer since. Eli was a very special man. I last spoke with him shortly before he went back to Lebanon earlier this year. He was so excited to revisit his homeland. He leaves a great legacy to a wonderful family. He will be missed!

Met this amazing man when he opened his first store at Crossgates Mall. Never forgot his incredible manner. What a wonderful tribute
