He was the best Dad I could ever dream of. He was always an inspiration in my life. He cared for me, loved me, and gave me confidence, motivation, and strength. I hope he hears this in the heavens with Jesus Christ, the son of God. I hope that he hears this and that he will always be a blessing in my life. - Posted by: George Eskandar (His Son) on: Nov 08, 2017

This is very sad news and I hope his family are strengthening themselves in the Lord as this is the best way. I understand how you feel (having lost a close one recently. An amazing character, he would listen patiently to my thoughts on the various projects we worked on together. Due to his thoroughness we always achieved excellent results. He was so dedicated sometimes I would forcibly end the session and tell him to go home to his family, a family he was so proud of and talked about all the time especially his wife who understood his work schedule. Please be strong Rania. God is always there for us in such hard times. - Posted by: Dr. Jonell Agyei-Sakyi (Collegue) on: Feb 24, 2012

See, I have gained five more.’ 21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things.
