My condolences to the entire Khoury family. How blessed you were to have him for 87 wonderful years! Mr Khoury was my favorite teacher. He would allow me to stay in his room long after dismissal because I was afraid to go home - not knowing what kind of hell I would be walking into. I would do my homework, while he would do whatever he did at his desk (I long suspected he wanted to leave but let me sit there with him). He listened, he counseled, he taught, he said nothing, he said everything. He was simply there. Nearly 50 years later, it feels like yesterday. Thank you for providing a safe haven. I've never forgotten. Rest in peace, Mr. Khoury.
