Suheil worked for 25 years at State Street Bank, retiring as a Vice President. Prior to his career in finance, Suheil briefly practiced law in his home country of Syria and taught math in the Golan Heights when it was a Syrian territory.

Suheil was a charming and honorable man. He was always smiling and happy, and was the ultimate host.

He loved to garden and had apple trees and pear trees and took great pride in the jams he made. He enjoyed playing bridge and was quick to challenge anyone he could in a game of ping pong.

Cherished grandfather, “Jido” of Tatiana and William Ozone. Dear brother of the late Abdo Elias, Mary Madano and George Elias. He is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
