This is my friend, Naser, on May 4th 2016. This was at a going away party that we were having at the time. He appears awkward with the cake because he didn’t like sweets but he didn’t know how to behave when someone offered him something that he didn’t want. Here he is hoping that I will take it off of his plate for him. 

Naser was a good man. He was the most kind and gentle person. The kind of person who will politely ask the mosquito to stop sucking out his blood rather than squash it and take it’s life. He worked hard and loved every minute of it. Many times he would tell me with complete sincerity: “Bill, if you ever need anything, if you are stuck somewhere, or need a hand with a problem or whatever it is just ask me and I will be there for you” and I knew that he completely meant that.

Naser didn’t have a very easy life being seperated from his family early on because of political instability of his home country. He made his home wherever he could find it. All he wanted was to contribute to the betterment of those around him. I feel lucky to have known him and I will miss him greatly. He passed away on the weekend of  April 16th, 2023 at his home in Tallahassee, Florida.
