Mikhael Skaff 
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our father, Mikhael Skaff, on November 9, 2020, at the age of 100, surrounded by his family.
Beloved husband of  the late Souad Khoury.
Mikhael will be remembered as a wonderful father of  Ghassan (Madiana Chamoun), Walid (Rula),  Marwan (Yolande Airangi) and Ghada (Jado Mansour).

Predeceased  by his siblings Gerious, Elias, Andraous, Mariam, Hanneh and Adibeh Skaff.
Mikhael was a blessing to his family, independent until the end.  He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
A respected and helpful man to his community and everyone who knows him, back home in Lebanon and in his new home Canada. He was full of faith and he loved the Lord, his church and family.
