Hey Grandpa,
I just wanted to tell you that no matter what you’ve been thru you will always be my hero because you faced all those difficulties like a strong warrior. It breaks my heart to know that every time I’ll go visit Grandma you won’t be in your room anymore, you won’t be picking me up at the bus stop, that you won’t be preparing a pack of cards so we can play your favorite game (Achouch), that you won’t be there to eat raw Kafta with me. All those things made great memories that I will cherish forever. Thank you for being there for me whenever I needed someone as simple and noble as you Grandpa. The good thing about you Jedo is that you taught us to be confident, caring and don’t think about what other people think. You taught us to be proud and most of all you never liked to see us sad. I am truly sorry for the times when I was being selfish and mad at everyone. I deeply regret I ever acted this way. I now hide my tears when I’m sad because I know that you see me from up there and you hated to see someone cry or be angry. You are the person from who I learned to love one another and don’t fight. You gave us all your love and I am grateful for it. The thing about you is that you saw everything in a positive way. I will never forget the moment when I came back from school and you were waiting for me, you were so happy when you told me that you won the lotto. I asked you how much did we win and you replied 10$ and we started laughing. That’s the funny thing about you Jedo, every situation is worth laughing with you. The last thing you told me is “I love you a lot, Salmili al kil” when I left the hospital to go home. I thank you for the wonderful 14 years that you were in my life and it will be hard not seeing you at your window waiting for us or telling us to be careful when we left the house. You are an awesome grandpa and you are now my guardian angel. Love you sweet Jedo and miss you a lot. 


My dearest uncle, for me you will always be the uncle that took us to the ocean in Lebanon whith your car. We would wait to hear youre car hornet from our balcony and knew that now is uncle Jack here. 

Although we lived on different continents for so many years, I always felt like time just stood still since last we met. You were still the same uncle that I remember from when I was little and we lived in Lebanon. I am so happy that my children Lina and Kristoffer got to meet and get to know you. You have set your impressions of them. Lina still remember one of those times you were visiting us in Sweden and we drove in our car. You were talking about everything and you made her laugh. Or when you came and looked at one of Kristoffer's football game.
I could see how you face shined up when you told us about youre lovely grandchildren. 

You will always be rememberd and loved.  I hope you have found peace. You where an angel on earth and now you are an angel in heaven.

Me , Lina and Kristoffer will always love you.

My dear uncle Jack, my sweet canadien uncle. I know you are in a better place now, in a place called paradise were all the good people go, because thats what you were A very good person with the sweetest soul. I'm gonna miss your visits to sweden, and how you always brougt 5 suits (incase you where going to a weddig all of a sudden). My stylish uncle! I have so many lovley memories with you, I remember how you took a walk with me from dads house to uncle Abouds house and no one belived you could walk that far, but you did it because you were a strong person. Meapelleaves, Oldspice, KLM and frozen beer will not be the same. I promise to get you your cigerettes and your ashtray when I come to paradise. I miss you so much and I will always love you, your Dodo

Hey Dad, looks like it's over  
Hey Dad, wished you lived longer
I won't Be calling you  Baba anymore 
I won't be feeling your heavy cough no more

You have Been a quiet dad & a loving jedo
Every Time you spoke you made us all laugh

Your Half Turkish half syriac accent had always been different. 
I know I used to correct you in the past & I'm sorry. 
I thought It was cooler to speak with the Beiruty accent....
I was totally wrong
I want you to know today that This accent that used to embarass me in the past has become your geniune trade mark. 
At Home , we  all use your  expressions with the jack accent when we try to be funny
We all have what we call the "Jack thing":
You've been known to be the  Most organised person in our family. 
We always said, no need for an Alarm Company when Dad is around.
He'll always double-check on the oven to be off
on the doors to be locked
on the fridge to be closed
on the bike to be stored
on the mail to be picked
on the bills to be paid. 
He would also go to the extrême sometimes: He'll make sure our visitors do not leave without all their belongins such as Cells,  keys, cigars, wallets etc...
As simple as this might seem to you, well this was Dad: 
The Most humble & simple man in the world.
A beautiful heritage to his kids & grand kids , Thank you Dad. 
It's been a tough decade
it's been a Rocky ride but you never ever gave up. 
Until your last breath coming from thoses damaged lungs, you kept your Eyes wide open you did not want to surrender. 

For thoses of you who never knew my dad very well, let me tell you that He had a couple of unique illnesses, The kind of illnesses you get from living a bad lifestyle:

His Career started at age 13 like all men back then, the problem is that he Simply chose the wrong profession. 

- Working long hours a day with toxic painting Products
- Smoking an average of 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day 
led him to a chronic pulmonary disease

Later on in the 90's He was diagnosed with « Thymoma Cancer » but luckily he survived.

We also Found out in 2006, that he had the GOOD syndrome. 
Although the name could sound cool, it actually meant: 
Immune System defficiency

The last 9 years Dad had Blood transfusions on a monthly basis, over a 100 treatment to be able to survive.  
He was declared invalid at age 62. 
Since then, he  was living a very quiet routine 
just so he can see his grand children grow
just so he can play his loto 649
just so he can fly to Sweden & visit his brothers & sisters & their families.

This year was a bad year, he was in hospitals since March but yet never ever complained.
Most patient Human being you can ever meet.  
Most Loving, shy & humble person I ever knew. 
I'm sure He'll be remembered for his persévérance & simplicity.

A very Special Thanks to Dr Chris Tsoukas who's been dad's sweetest angel since 2006, to all other healtcare staff at MGH & Charles lemoyne from Dr to nurses to Lab Team they all took his complicated case at heart. 
Also, all kind of support we received from friends & family, we could not have gone through it without your help.

Dad always wished for Peace & Love. 
The  only advice he would have for everyone here today is : 
"To love one another & put your differences away"

God Bless you all

On behalf of my family I Thank you all for being here today. 


Mes sinceres condoleances a la famille de Jacques Marina. Un homme toujours souriant et acceuillant. Je me souviendrais toujours de nos rencontres dans l'autobus. Moi j'allais a l'Universite et lui allais soit travailler ou soit a l'eglise. Il voulait toujours se lever et me laisser sa place. C'est un homme qui aimait les gens et il n'y a pas une fois que je le recontrait sans qu'il me demande des nouvelles de ma famille. Il etait toujours pret a partager un repas ou un cafe. Que son ame repose en paix et que Dieu vous donne le courage de passer a travers ces moments difficiles. R.I.P. amo Jacques <3
