He helped many people in need, including orphans, hospitals in need for financial support and patients in medical need. He was a generous person. He even gave salaries on a monthly basis for people in need of financial support. Even though he was extremely successful and had 3,000 employees working under him, he always prioritized and gave time to his family and friends.

Milad, cousin of slain laborers Gerges Samir, 20 and Malak Ibrahim, 25, who worked with them in Libya and witnessed their abduction by ISIS.
"On the 28th of December 2014, we got a phone call from our friends informing us that they have been kidnapped - it was only 10 seconds. Later Gerges, Malak and I decided to go back to Egypt. A few days later Gerges and Malak were abducted by ISIS along with other 11 Egyptian Christians. That night, I heard gunmen stepping into their dormitory but I couldn't do anything. I was unarmed. Gerges travelled all the way to Libya to be able to pay for his brother's university. That is why his death was painful to his brothers more than any other person," said Milad.
