Usama Al-Taher Obituary

My darling, it has been forty days since you left me, and I still am waiting for someone to wake me up. I miss you. Your smile. Your jokes. Your touch. Your voice. Your smell. Your love. Your caring. Your food. My heart, I simply miss all of you. May God see fit to keep our parting short.
To all of those who offered their condolences and regards, I thank you. A special thank you to the Myrtle Beach Mosque for your support and protection during this heartbreaking time. May Allah bless all of you. Abba and Carolyn, what can I say other than I owe you more than you can know. To the family at Sea Island, thank you so much. To all Sam's many friends and collegues, thank you for caring. We, his family, feel as though the world has lost something wonderful. We also thank God for giving him to us. Until we meet again, my darling, may God hold you in his arms.

Doris and family, I was so saddened to hear about Sam's death. It was such a shock. He was such a good-hearted man and it was a pleasure to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sami and family, Julie Green

Doris and family,



You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. I frequented Bugsy's and got to know Sam well. He was a wonderful man. The times I spent there were the best times I've had in Myrtle Beach. My prayers are with you.

Doris and kids, I was so sorry to here about Sam, you both have always been very special people to me. We shared some rough times at Bugsy's, closing as we did. I wish we had kept more in touch than we did. If you need anything Doris, I am at Sugami, please come see me there.

Love, Julie

Doris, Jamie, Sami and family. We are so sorry for your loss. Sam was a wonderful man - I've never known someone so happy, so full of life. Our next trip to SC won't be the same without him. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May your hearts be filled with peace and your minds with loving memories. We love you all!

Doris and Family,

We are very much in sorrow for your loss. We loved and admired Sam and were priviliged to work with him and enjoyed his kindness and humor. Thankfully, he didn't suffer an ongoing illness. That would have been a true trauma to him.



Doris, if there is anything we can do for you, please give us a call at 651-4922.

So many wonderful memories come rushing in when I think of my father in law Sam! Like the day that my husband and I announced to the proud Grandfather that his 4th Grandchild would be his first Grand "SON". We were eating in a local restaraunt around lunch time, if you can imagine the crowd, and when he heard BOY he jumped up, started banging on the table and began yelling YES, YES it's a boy!!!!!

Everything came to a stop and Sam then explained to everyone that after 3 Grandaughters there would soon be a Grandson- what a wonderful moment, and now.... a memory.

To see his name in this part of the paper, it just doesn't seem real.

The presence of a father and Grandfather like Usama "Sam" Al-Taher was such a blessing, especially to me, a girl whose real father past away when I was three.

I so miss what I only had for such a short time with Sam. I can only pray that it carries me through a lifetime.

DORIS,

WE WERE SO SHOCKED AND SADDENED TO READ ABOUT SAM IN THE NEWSPAPER. GEORGE AND MITZI, ELAINE, SUSIE, AND BUCK WERE ALSO SURPRISED.

PLEASE IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO, PLEASE CALL US. WE ARE SO, SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. THIS IS SUCH A SHOCK AND LOSS.

LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY,

LINDA AND DAVID SPANGLER

He was a great uncle. He would teach me many things that i never knew and told me many stories of his life. He was my favorite uncle! He had a great sense of humor but now that sense of humor will forever be in our hearts and I will always remember him and I love him so much.

Doris, Jamie, Sami and family. We, as everyone else, were extremely shocked by Sams death. He certainly loved his family and his many friends. I know he will be missed by all.

To Doris and family, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you you all. I have very fond memories of working with you and Sam at Bugsys. My deepest sympathy.

Jamie, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I do not remember him that well, but I just wanted to let you know that I am truly sorry for your loss.

love always Misti

Doris and family:

I am deeply saddened by this sad news.I know I speak for everyone

who had the pleasure of working with Sam at Bugsy's, when I say that his cheerful spirit will be missed by all.Please know that you and your loved one's are in my prayers.Susie

My deepest apologies for friends of my father that we did not notify. The entire experience was traumatic and our family became overwhelmed with grief and was unable to communicate my father's death. I realize this is not much comfort, but i am sure you will all understand our pain and loss.

I want to thank everyone for the calls and cards, you were all dear friends to my dad, and a special thanks to Abbe, you are such a help and your sympathy and concern is greatly appreciated.
