I had the distinct pleasure of meeting this Gentleman just last month as he was preparing for his upgrade. I was impressed with his kindness and generosity, his humor and his demeanor!
I was in Dubai only for my interview, yet he accepted me as a part of the team and was genuine in his sincerity looking forward to my coming back to be part of EK.
I was saddened by the news of my short lived friendship with him...and would only add now: May his soul rest in peace amongst the heavens. May his family have solice in the knowledge that he touched so many with his kindness. My prayers to his Family, friends and comrades.
