It is so sad to announce the sudden death, recent passing of a dear friend and active member of the KSA Expatriate Reunions, Hassan Ibrahim Al-Husseini. He was on-board since we conceived the first reunion/gathering in 2000.
He was instrumental in recording the feelings and reactions of the participants. Most of his gathered information is still being used and enjoyed by many. Our sincere sympathy goes to his family and many friends.
He was a man of many talents and he was well known for his written work on various issues and matters. Hassan will be missed …God bless him.
