Joseph Samia

I will always remember my grandfather "Bou Awtel".I still can't believe he left us.We feel his presence among us every day,remember his words and actions.No matter what we lay our eyes on around the village,we remember him and the great things he did for his village Kfarsghab and his family.

I lost a great grandfather who everyone wishes to have. Our village lost an intelligent, open-minded, peaceful leader. I wish many of you had the chance to meet him. I am greatful I had the chance to know "Big Joe". I am greatful for the great moments we spent together as a family. Ity would be so great to have a person like in every family!

Our family has many connections to this wonderful man. He was the husband of my father's first cousin Victoria. He was the father-in-law of my Uncle Slemmay. He was the brother of my Aunty Zabed's husband Francis. In addition to and above all of this, he was a good and trusted friend to my father (Tony Hanna). They enjoyed many summers together in Kfarsghab and I know my father will deeply cherish those memories. Joseph Samia was an honest, giving man who did so much for his beloved...

Deepest Sympathies and Condolences to Josef's family worldwide. I will never forget the kindness he showed me and my family, everytime we visited our beloved Kfarsghab. He was a great man, and will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him. Goodbye, my friend...Allah yer Hamouh. A’wad b’salam’ithkam....
