He and his wife were faithful members of the Lady of the Cedars Maronite church. He enjoyed reading the paper every morning, playing cards, poker, and loved sports. His favorite sport was Football. The Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans were his favorite teams. Most of all he loved his family and was a great provider, mentor and companion. He was loved by everyone who met him. If you were invited to Kamal & Abla’s house for dinner or an event, you were sure to have the best time, food and company.
