Suhail A.J. al Chalabi

The Vietnam Veterans memorial fountain on lower Wacker Drive is beautiful. Understand Mr. and Mrs. al Chalabi designed it. Thank you.

I was just thinking about the Al Chalabis, who I had the immense privilege of working for back in the early 2000s. I did a Google search hoping to see what they were up to, and came across Suhail's obituary. I am devastated to hear this news. Suhail was one of the smartest, kindest people I've ever met. My condolences to Margery.

I remember Suhail:

For his gentleness. There were no gentler

For his friendliness. He made friends easily and they were "keepers."

For his positivity. Always a kind word for all friends and acquaintances.

For his professionalism: Always displayed a consummate professionalism.

and, his love for Chicago: This was his home.

Rest in peace my friend

I will always remember your family's kindness. You helped me with my CAF project on the rehab of the Chicago Theatre for the AIA guide. My prayers are with you.

I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. May the God of all comfort be with the family during this difficult time. 2 Cor 1:3

Margery - My deepest condolences on the recent passing of your husband. His academic accomplishments and work resume were exceptional. I'm sure Metropolitan Chicago is a better place because of his focus on the public sector. My prayers are with you. Frank Donato (RERC)

We are so very sorry for your loss and pray that the Lord comforts you and your family at this time. We noted the article in the newspaper- he clearly had a distinguished career.

I work at the Chicago Theatre taking guests on tours of the building. We pass a brass plaque in the lobby with the names of Suhail and Margery and many others who funded saving and re-using that iconic landmark. Without them there would be no Chicago Theatre today. Condolences to Margery and family .
