Shafik A. Tabeek

Blessing to the Tabeek family. Wishing you all sincere condolences. Memories are the final gift when we lose a loved one. Hang on to those and it will get you through the heartache and hopefully bring you many smiles and stories to share with family and friends alike.

My heart goes out to the Tabeek family and friends. Shef and I worked together on many projects for my company and will be missed dearly. This obituary says it all about his love for people and his zest for life!!! May he rest in peace!!

Shafeek as I use to call him was a mentor of mine in the sales world... teaching me the inns and outs of selling real time systems for simulation.. He once spent a full day with me teaching me about simulation algorithms and how they worked but little about the computers we sold. He explained to me if my client thought I knew more about the application than he, I could sell him an adding machine for a computer and they would still buy it because they were buying into me not the machine... ...

Rest in Peace Shef, we had fun at Interdata/Perkin-Elmer/Concurrent.

Shef and my father,John P. Tabeek were cousins. I met Shef sometime in 1966, it was at my baptism. Shef is my God Father. He was caring and loving and he will surely be missed. Rest in Peace. Much love

I met Shef around 1968 while working at a hotel in Binghamton. He was always fun to talk to over the next 20 years. I remember his 69 Jaguar and a few parties at a place he rented in Binghamton. When I worked at Link in the late 70s and early 80s he was the most successful computer salesman that visited us. You could hear his laugh from afar. It has been years since I last saw him, but he lived life to the fullest.

Such a lovely tribute. I am half Syrian as well and appreciate many of the same things. Sorry for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My dad met Shef and they became instant friends..2 guys who loved all of humanity. Shef gave my folks some stunning simulated marble in a process he helped develop that allowed the design to be inside the marble instead of an inlay. He was kind, generous, and larger than life. I am so sorry for your loss of this joyful and remarkable man.
