I'm afraid I bring sad news this morning to tell you of the passing of Adli Halabi. For those of you who aren't aware, Adli was the first Registrar for the Association and, probably, was the only person in the 70s to have a computer on which he created the Chassis Register. Sadly, Adli had a stroke some weeks ago which revealed underlying health issues.
Adli was a man who didn't like the limelight and I only got to know him a couple of years ago when he made some very significant donations to the Archive. I will admit to being somewhat nervous of meeting him, but I found him to be instantly likeable and charming. There was always a twinkle in his eye, that's a fact. We got on very well..
His daughter Leah has been in touch and has circulated the following message. She asks that if anyone has memories or photos af her father, she would be happy to receive them at the email address she gives in her message:
We are saddened to announce the passing of our beloved father, Adli Souhail Halabi this evening surrounded by his closest family. Please send any messages by email to adlihalabi007@hotmail.com
Funeral arrangements will be confirmed in due course.
With love Riva, Leah & Claudia x
