On 23 March 2026, our beloved Leli was laid to rest in a beautiful celebration, attended by so many of his loved ones including long-time friends and colleagues, who he appreciated so dearly. ❤️

Over the past few days we have been overwhelmed from all the articles, posts, and messages, declaring their condolences and love, of which we cannot describe how much these words meant to us and brought us solace during this difficult time.
