elevated HIVdo Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Elias Honein on December 30, 2023. Elias was 91 years of age, born in Cairo, Egypt, on October 15, 1932. He is predeceased by his parents Farid and Evelyn Honein, and his brother Charles Honein. He is survived by his sister Renée Mina, his nieces Amy Mina, Lisa Mina (Randall Huffman), Sandra Adam (Gabriel Adam), his nephew Michael Honein (Nicole Condon) and his sister-in-law Josephine Honein (Naassan). He is related to the families of Naassan, Massaad, Arida, Messadieh, and Assassiah.

 Elias was an avid student of medicine. He studied in England where he was awarded the Fellowship of The Royal College of Surgeons, and also earned a Certificate of General Surgery from The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada . He practiced general surgery at Oshawa General Hospital for a number of years. 

 He was well read, enjoyed jogging, running mini marathons, travelling, and most of all enjoyed family gatherings where he loved to engage his family members in controversial conversations.

 He was good natured, jovial and knowledgeable in many subjects, including medicine, geography and the world of finance. We will miss him. 

 The family wishes to extend their thanks to the Chartwell  AgeCare staff for the care, support and compassion Elias was provided with at all times.
