Not sure what to say?

I am honored to have crossed roads with Wadi on different levels, first as a teacher and then as a colleague and a dear friend. We built a strong friendship with Wadi and Doris and we fondly treasure the memories of the times we spent with them over the years. We will miss him dearly. Nadim and Seham

I, Amin, first knew Wadi as my professor at the U of M. He was a great teacher who emphasized understanding the material rather than memorizing it. He became a good friend with similar background being from the Bethlehem/ Beit Jala area. He was a wonderful host where he and Doris hosted students, faculty and Arab-American community members. He was delightful to talk to and our association with him left memorable effects that we cherish. We will all miss him . May God bless his soul.

Wadi was a joy to know and I miss his smile, sense of humor, and compassionate heart. My prayers are with Mary, Linda, and family.

Linda and Mary-Sending prayers as you navigate this new era in your lives. Blessings on you all.

I live in Wadi and Dori's former home in Saline. They both were delightful people. Such a wonderful sense of humor and Wadi had. They broke the mold as they say about someone as unique and wonderful as he was.

Wadi will always represent an honest and trustworthy colleague and friend, with a smile that inspires confidence and an inherent maturity for what is life. Not to mention of course his in-depth expertise in structural analysis, temperature effects on structures, and reinforced concrete chimneys. I will always have fond memories of Wadi, and we will miss him both as a friend and a technical expert.

What a wonderful tribute. This IS what made America great.

My deepest sympathy to all his family. I will miss him.

A big hug to all of you. We will always carry uncle Wadi in our hearts and minds. Blessings upon all. Love Ray and Suzan Zick and family
