My Condolences.

Dear Zaki family,
I got to know Sherif at LA Fitness Toco Hills. He became a regular in my Tuesday and Thursday morning classes.
I just found out about his passing this morning through his former co-worker, Neerja Ketkar. Needless to say, we are heartbroken to learn this devastating news.
His soft spoken nature and his sense of humor was always a joy to have in class. And to hear his stories about his work, was mind blowing. He never really let on what an ICON and HERO he was...

Dear Zaki Family ----- Please accept condolences for the loss of your dear one. I did not know your loved one, however, I saw the notice of his untimely demise, and, it seems that this lovely man contributed so much to medicine and research. His passing is a loss to us all. May God grant you comfort during this difficult time.

Unfortunate loss. We need more dedicated minds. My condolences to the family. Soon no one will say I am sick. Isa. 33:24

A brilliant mind and a dedicated person that was able to help so many. Praying that God be with the Zaki family and friends in this most difficult time. So very sorry for your loss.

We are deeply saddened by the untimely death of our colleague and friend Dr. Sherif Zaki. He was one of the most knowledgeable infectious diseases pathologists that ever existed and assisted on numerous identifications of unusual organisms from our institution. Not only a brilliant diagnostician, he was supremely supportive of his colleagues and co-workers, a truly kind and benevolent individual. We will sorely miss him, but are gratified to have had the pleasure to know and work with...

My condolences.

What a enormous loss to the world. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this extremely difficult time.
