Mohamed SHOUSHER Obituary

SHOUSHER Mohamed Yehia "Moe" Esq. Mohamed Y. Shousher, 57, of Toledo, passed away the April 30, 2012, at Ebeid Hospice Residence, Sylvania, OH surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Toledo, OH on November 28, 1954, to Yehia (John) H. Shousher and Emney M. Shousher (Igram). "Moe" had a thriving law practice in downtown Toledo, providing representation for over 32 years in Ohio and Michigan. After graduating law school as valedictorian of his class in 1979, he joined Dave Wiley's solo law practice in East Toledo.

He remained there with his associates, Paula Hicks-Hudson and Eric Slack until the building on the site was destroyed by fire in 1993. His good friend Ned Adya practiced with Moe for the past 6 years. Moe may be best be known by the baby boomers of Toledo as "Mohamed of 104.7 WIOT" and was in love with spinning records. He was an avid reader and Lakers fan. He loved to study history, especially WWII. Friends might be surprised to learn that he was an expert on film noir. He was passionate about justice, and saw the law as a means to protect those who could not stand up for themselves. Most of all, he was a faithful father, son, brother, uncle and friend. He is survived by the love of his life his fiancee, Diane Scribner; daughter, Natalie; son, John; parents, Yehia (John) and Emney; siblings, Lila Shousher-Elwardany (Ahmed), Mona Awada-Shousher, Hussien (Randa), Mariam (Mudd) Aossey, and numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Although I never met him, I have very fond memories of listening to Mr. Shousher on WIOT in the seventies. He was absolutely wonderful to listen to on FM. His very relaxed and cool presentation was unique. I often think back to the old days in Toledo and miss those days of simply enjoying great music as played by Mr. Shousher, especially since moving to Cleveland. Very sincere condolences to the Shousher family.

Mohamed, your heart was much bigger than you were! Thank you friend...

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships". Said by Abe Lincoln many years ago. This was also very true with Moe as so many friends have testified here. I last seen Moe in the courthouse several years ago. He saw me from a distance came over and said hello. We shook hands and the next thing I knew he gave me a hug. He even asked me what I was doing there and offered his help,on the spot. Now that was Moe. May God be with him and with his family .

Warm feelings and good thoughts of many happy times at 26 Erie Ave, in London and in Oregon Ohio. Running about with our cousins underrfoot of our parents, uncles and aunts. The memories linger and will be cherish in the collective strength of our family, lengthening, weaving and entwinning like the ancient grape vines on the roof of our grandfather's house in Karoun. With affection to all his family, especially my Uncle Yehia and Aunt Amney who always were there for all of us, and in sympathy for his children and fiance.

I will always remember the joy and excitement of being at WIOT with Moe for the first program in December of 1972.We loved working those weekends! Moe was loving, kind, brilliant and a wonderful friend. Our deepest condolences to the Shousher family.

To the Shousher family:
Please accept my condolences on your loss.
Although I never met Mohamed, I counted him as a friend since the first minute I hooked-up my Audiovox FM converter to the AM radio in my 1970 Ford Fairlane in the year 1974. From that moment on, I was hooked on listening to him on WIOT FM 104.7. For many years,the rock jams came thru loud and clear as I constantly up graded the stereo system in my car. His soothing and quiet voice was a refreshing respite from the annoying hiss on the AM stations.
May he rest in peace...

Mr and Mrs Shousher and family:

It goes without saying that a parent should not have to bury their child. It is hard to understand Allah's will in this situation, but we must accept and find comfort knowing he is out of pain and with Allah. I know this has to be the hardest thing in life. May your sorrow be eased by looking at all the good times you had with him in life and rejoicing that he has lived. May you see all that he has left in memories, in his children and the good times he shared that will live with you and generations to come. I have very fond memories of college days and seeing Moe in the library, in the cafeteria, and always pleasant. May the memories and love warm your hearts.

Words cannot express the loss I feel and the sympathy I have for all Moe's family and friends.

He was truly a good friend to many people and I was privileged to know him.

I never would have made it through law school without his wit, wisdom and encouragement but most of all friendship.

God Bless You.

It is with a very heavy heart that I today learn of Moe's passing. Though I have not seen or spoken with him for literally decades I can still envision his smiling face. We shared some very good times in our younger days, mostly focused on a mutual love of music and how it spoke to our hearts. I have enjoyed reading on these pages,from his many friends and associates, how his kindness and compassion endured through the years. May all Blessings be with Moe's family at this time. His memory will serve us all so well.

Mohamed was always a delight. He was a superb radio personality with an astounding ability to connect with his audience -- an outstanding attorney, whose encompassing knowledge of law was matched by a deep dedication to social justice -- and a truly wonderful human being who could always be counted on at any time for anything. We attended many rock concerts together. He knew all the words.
