As an unwavering philanthropist, Ibrahim was tireless in his support of children and orphans in Lebanon and other parts of the world.  His generosity, kindness, and commitment to these endeavors in the spirit of Islam will be sorely missed.  The El-Hibri Charitable Foundation will carry on his legacy.

Ibrahim was the beloved husband of Liane El-Hibri and father of Fuad and Samir El-Hibri and Yasmine Gibellini.  He had six grandchildren, whom he cherished and adored.  He is also survived by his father, Yahia El-Hibri, two sisters, Dr. Azizah Al-Hibri and Dr. Huda Zoghbi, and two brothers, Dr. Jamal El-Hibri and Dr. Tayeb El-Hibri.

The traditional 4-day memorial service was held for him on November 18, 2007, during which his son, Fuad, delivered remarks about his father’s life and accomplishments.

Mr. El-Hibri was the very first subscriber to Al-Hewar Magazine back in 1989.  We will remain forever grateful to Mr. El-Hibri for his ceaseless encouragement for our efforts over the years.

God bless his soul.
