Csendes Matyas Bushair Muhammadunni
On the 9th of April, 2016 Arabad’s family lost one of its colleagues to a heart attack. Georges, who joined us 20 years ago, worked hard, expressed gratitude for the graces life threw his way, and always believed in a brighter tomorrow. He was just, honest, and sincere in expressing his thoughts and seized every opportunity that came his way to improve the quality of life for those around him and those he loved. His life outside the office saw him take the role of a professional backup singer to one of the country’s renowned Arabic singers and in so doing, brought joy to those present. Georges spoke fondly of his family and despite the health complications that sometimes debilitated him, he always found a way to make things right again. If there is anything more than can be said, it is that even from the great beyond, his memory will always paint a smile on the faces of those who knew him. He will forever be missed. May he rest in peace.
