A charming man full of life. Was always such a joy to look after. Genuinely!! Even when we offered him a table closer to the entrance he would only want his usual table. Always made me smile. My sincerest belated condolences. Bassam

A wonderful Grandfather who taught me so much about resilience, about following my passions, but above all about the importance of family. I will miss your stories of Esmerelda, of Potatoes and of Palestine. I love you so very much, forever and always. Gigi xx

A huge loss for us all. Muawiya was an extraordinary man and I feel blessed to have been his son-in-law. Muawiya's intelligence, thirst for knowledge, courage and determination were the qualities he had and needed to forge his amazing life and career. He was, above all though, a people person and always interested in what you were doing or thinking - at his happiest with family, driving debate and conversation around the dinner table, a smile and a laugh never far away. I will miss him terribly and cherish the many happy memories of our time together. God bless you Muawiya - rest in peace. Ken x
