If you were considered a friend by Ramzi, then you were trully fortunate. I feel enormously saddened by his passing and right now I can only think of the huge space he has vaccated. A real gentle giant who had double servings of charm, charism and generosity. These days it is so rare to find such a unique individual who was equally comfortable being a businessman, a philanthropist and an internationalist who embraced all cultures. We learnt a lot from him and this troubled world could also be a better place if it followed his own ideology of multiculturalism. My thoughts and prayers are now with Hayat, Maya, Sami, Diala and Karim. Martin Jay, Marrakech
