Joseph B. MURAD

Mr. Murad was my teacher when I attended Georgia Perimeter College. He was a great teacher and I enjoyed his class. I was recently going through old school paperwork and came across the syllabus for his class. I decided to look him up and see if we could reconnect. I was sorry to hear about his passing. My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.

I've known Joe since his years at Georgia Tech. We met at St. Joseph's church. Since I was single and he was new to the area, I took him to meet others at the Cathedral Club and at the Young Republicans Club meetings. When I took him to the first Young Republican meeting, he looked around and asked, Is this it? I told him it was and asked why he was surprised. He said, Where are the guns? In Lebanon, when we went to to a political meeting, there were guns.

I also remember when he...

Uncle Joe, was the kind of man who would push everyone to their greatest potential, to which at times I felt was more than I could see in myself. But he saw the most in everyone, and what they were capable of, he saw people as not only what they were but what they could be, he was and will continue to be an inspiration to many. He was a true Philomath, a lover of learning and studying, he took on all he could and welcomed assimilation, and fully understanding. I learned that he had taken up...

Joe was always ready to offer a helping hand and valuable advice to everybody, particularly expats. I consider myself lucky to have known him for more than 30 years, and I was confident that I could count on him anytime I needed help. God bless his soul. He will always be remembered for his good deeds.

Joe was a kind and good man. He helped me at a time in my life when I was in need of help, financially and otherwise, always with a smile and without making me feel that I owed him anything. A true Christian and friend.
