Bassam was a wonderful person. He will be missed by all.
Sam was a great guy! We texted every other week after he retired. He lived people, and people loved him. Not a week went by when someone didn’t ask me about Bassam. We miss him and we love him.
I remember Bassam from college at UNO. He was always so upbeat and fun to be around. Then again at El Basha! What a great guy. Thoughts and prayers to his family. BJ
