Anyone who went to AUB knows Abu Naji. He was one of the most familiar faces during my 3 years there from 2010 to 2013 and we all regularly got our coffee from him.. https://t.co/3SotfoRrV8

We use to take turns going up to Abu Naji during finals period and all-nighters to get coffee and comfort food. He was always there for us. I saw him a few weeks ago he seemed fine https://t.co/Gt0DlpelP6

Abu Naji not only provided me with my morning coffee, Abu Naji personally showed me immeasurable kindness when I needed it. May his kind soul rest in peace https://t.co/LfEcsQ4Aoz

Any new student at AUB always knew where Abu Naji was before anything else on campus. A part of @AUB_Lebanon has left us today. But he’s certainly in a much better place… https://t.co/LhAuwjoxIE
