Dr. Ibrahim Fawal

I only just learned of his passing, and feeling quite emotional thinking of him and our relationship as friends and he my mentor. I'm so sorry I was not able to connect with him again over the last few years of his life. He supported me and my endeavors with enthusiasm and kindness. He was even one of my official references for my service in the Peace Corps 97-98. I loved him much. I met him first at the age of 19 as a freshman at UAB back in 1988 where he made James Joyce's The Dead more...

Henry and I fondly remember a magical evening in Dr. Fawal's company and will forever cherish his engaging intellect and charm - he graced the world and made it a better place.

Offering my condolences to his family with confidence that his great spirit lives on in them. His work was inspirational.

So proud to know you were a resident of Birmingham & related to so many wonderful citizens of this town. You and your hard working self & family members, means so much to me, to have achieved because of it. God Bless your history & life in this city.

Mr. Fawal was an inspiration to many, a brilliant artist, and wonderful human being. Love and peace to the Fawal family~ Amor
