Youssef was the kindest man and neighbor anyone could ever care to know. We were his neighbors for 18 years and his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. And that of his family as well. We have many stories of their generosity and can still look back and smile and laugh with the thoughts of this! May God's love and mercy keep you as you hold him in your memories. All our love and prayers. The Hagenbruch Family. Steve, Colleen, Megan & Cullen
