كان رحمه الله لطيف المعشر ولكن لا يحابي لينعم الأن بضياء الملكوت وليكن ذكره مؤبدا
نقولا ودنيا شاهين من دمشق
God bless his soul in heaven, he was dear friend and classmate, it is really great loss,My sincere condolences to his family
Johnny was our Class Gentleman.He will be missed
John was the most decent of a human being, a true gentleman and class act, and an outstanding physician. He loved his family, his profession and his privacy. He was a family member of our 1969 medical class, and we will all miss him.
May God bless his sweet soul.
I saw Johny 6 months ago at my office in Bethesda with his baby grandson and his son. He was as usual very nicely dressed and with his smile full of life and love . We are all going to miss our descent friend.
May GOD bless his soul and give his family patience during this difficult time.
