We were all so very very saddened to hear of Ayoub's passing. He was a tremendous human being; a friend like no other to my father (Saleh Omar) and someone we all truly loved. To the Talhami family, Ghada, Youssef, Lamees, and Ghassan, I'm very sorry we could not be there, we send you all of our love. We feel so blessed to have known such a wonderful person who has deeply impacted all of us.
