He had a most instrumental role in the DA Egyptians group. egyptians.deviantart.com/journ…

On DA he was batetooz

I only met him twice: once in June '07 at a DA meeting, after which the huge man gave me a lift in his tiny red car.
And once this year at a DA meeting in Al Azhar Park, where I was sad because I didn't really have a chance to talk with him. Now I never will.

He was so bubbly and friendly.....

Last night I was looking forward to seeing him in a gallery, at an opening. I never did, because at that time he was dying.

This is why I still like DA: you meet people, sometimes even in reality, and you are touched and moved by who they are, their lives, or in this case, their death. :rose:

My Condolences.

There is something about DA that immortalizes people, you create an image of what they look like and how they sound like in your own imagination and that never changes even when they disappear for good.
