Uncle Moh
That's what I call him, and what I have heard Shankie call him for the past 27 years. He lost his battle with Mesothelioma this past week. We have lost a precious soul. He will be missed.
I had the pleasure of meeting Uncle Moh in the early 80's and will always remember that first meeting. I was a newcomer in a large close knit family and had no idea of what to expect in this first meeting of Shankie's brother in law. It was like going to see my best-est friend in the whole world. It was not like 
meeting a stranger at all. In fact Shankie's whole family have treated me this way since the beginning. I remember staying a weekend with them and Uncle Moh fixing me the most delicious egg omelet I have ever eaten. In fact I remember him and I eating the whole breakfast that morning ourselves while Shankie just drank a pepsi and his sister had coffee. I remember him asking me at each ingredient he started to put into the omelet if I liked it. Well yeah.....nothing I don't like, but I thought it was so considerate of him to ask me. Thats how I remember him as being so considerate. Nothin like food to bring a couple of food lovers together. He treated me just like family. I will never forget him. I did not get to see him much after 84', except for a summer in 86' and I remember him being just as kind then as he was when we first met. Shank tells me stories galore about him and I feel like I know him just as well as he did and will miss him as much.

Dona, thank you for the wonderful tribute to my husband. He was unique and he also loved you and Frank so much. He loved all my family. He always used to say you were so special.....he didn't know of anyone who would do for us the things that you did for us. He said he'd never forget it. And he didn't! He would be so proud to know the wonderful tribute to him.
Thank you...... you are a wonderfuld sister in law that I am very proud to have.

Uncle Mohammed,
He was a cheerful man, he made everyone around him feel safe and happy with his laughter and his presence. Unlce mohammed always had protected me in when i was little, whenever i had done wrong he would stop me and tell me off but the special thing was that whenever uncle mohammed told me off i would listen to him and and always have respected him, he was soo special alhamdullilah wa shukrul illah (thank you allah) for creating someone soo special to me and everyone in the family. Also the time when you all had an eagle uncle mohammed was there feeding it and showing us how it flew and how to treat it. Yahya mentioned about the eagle harmed him accodently and uncle mohammed was there to help him. I remebered when we was all little in libya unlce mohammed would treat us all for an ice cream late at night, and when we all went to the beach one time having a laugh on the beach eating peanut butter and honey!! haha and swimming in the pool they were the days we would never forget about uncle mohammed and the family. The one thing we all remeber unlce mohammed by is of his remarkable behaviour he would act soo much like our dad (abderrazak).
From haithm uncle mohammed would take us all out around in libya and would always take us to the mosque for salah prayers everyday, he used to say islam will take you futher and protect you and will put you in a better place.
there is soo much we could write about uncle mohammed because he was a special soul.
We will never forget what you have done for us uncle and we will always remember you always!! thank you Rest In Peace We all LOVE you!!!
From abdelwahab and brothers including hana my sister
