Samuel Fam
1933-2019
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Dr.
Samuel Fam, of Quispamsis, NB. This was after a brief but courageous
battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his family and
friends.
Samuel is survived by his loving wife Nadia (Nashad Guindi)
of 54 years, his children, Neveen Sheppard (Kerry) of Rothesay, Hani
Fam (Sherra) of Peterborough, Ontario, and Nancy Gilmour (Andrew) of
Victoria, BC. He will be sadly missed by his grandchildren Alexander,
Gillian, Connor and Avery. He is survived by his brother Arnest and
numerous nieces, nephews and relatives.
Samual was born in Cairo, Egypt to Saida and Tawfiek . He was
a family physician and then an internal medicine specialist while
living there. After moving to Canada in 1969, Samuel attended McGill
University where he completed his residency in radiology. In 1975 he
moved to Newfoundland practicing radiology in Stephenville for 11
years and then in Carbonear for 28 years retiring at a youthful 75
years of age. After he retired, he and Nadia moved to Quispamsis to be
closer to family. Samuel worshipped at Grace Valley Church. Samuel was
a kind, caring, hard working man, wonderful husband and an amazing
father. Nadia and Samuel travelled the world. His greatest loves were
his Lord, wife, children, grandchildren and church
family.
The family would like to extend thanks to Dr. Graham MacNeil
, Dr. Jessica Hemmings, Dr. Paul Keyes and the nurses and staff of the
Saint John Regional Hospital Palliative Care Unit for their wonderful
care of Samuel. The family would also like to thank the many members
