Dear Mrs. Antoun and Family,
I was very sad to hear about Dr. Antoun. You and your family are in our prayers. My name is Ahmad Bani Yassin and your husband spent alot of time in my village, Kufr al-Ma. Dr. Antoun stayed in my family's home. We loved and respected him and feel we have lost a good friend. I believe he is in heaven because of his loving and generous ways. We are thankful for his caring about us and writing to share with others our Arabic culture.

To the Antoun Family,

My deepest sympathies on the your loss of this wonderful man. The late Timothy Jones and I were students of his. I remember Tim and I talking fondly of his classes as well as his abiding commitment to peace and endearing sense of humor. I remember Tim talking to him about gardening. May the memories comfort you, as I comforted by the thought that those two are in a better place (and probably talking about gardening). Love, peace and blessings to your family.

Dear Linda and Jane,
I am so sorry to hear about the tragedy that occured regarding your brother, Richard. I have many fond memories of spending time at your home on Rte 9. in Shrewsbury. Your mother and my mother, Josephine Davis Ghiz, were great friends. My sister, Connie remembers spending time with you and your family when we were young. Your mother was just a wonderful person and I have fond memories of her and her friendship with my mother. Again, I am so sorry about the...

Dr. Antoun inspired my interest in anthropology and generously supported my career goals in the field.

In the over thirty years since he mentored me, I have never forgotten his open hearted and welcoming way.

His commitment to the pursuit of truth, concern for social justice, and fellowship with all persons set the highest standard as a scholar and human being.

My deepest condolences to the Antoun family.
