Ali was one of my very best friends.
Generous of spirit and genuinely warm hearted. A true delight to be around, as he always had a positive spin on the day to day challenges we all face. Quick witted, and never shy. Always a good listener and offered balanced thoughtful advice when called upon.
Ali's dedication and selfless commitment to his family is an example we can all learn from.
I knew Ali in CX, but can say my friendship with Ali grew stronger when he moved to EK. It's been a wonderful privilege to share good times and laughter with Ali, and his Dubai Gang will miss him so very much.
Rest in Peace my friend.
