Prior days' news: By date | Search This week's print issue Back issues: By date | Search April 19, 2007Ross Abdallah AlameddineRoss Abdallah Alameddine, a sophomore at Virginia Tech, always gave people a lift with his quick wit. He was the only reason Alexander Bailey, a classmate at Austin Preparatory School, in Reading, Mass., says he survived honors-English their junior year. “His sense of humor and the jokes that were shared got me through the class I despised so much,” says Mr. Bailey, whose locker was three down from Mr. Alameddine’s. “He was one of the funniest and kindest people I’ve met.”  Facebook.com Two years after graduating with Mr. Alameddine, the comments he had written in friends’ yearbooks still make them laugh, they say. The headmaster at Austin Prep, Paul J. Morgan, called Mr. Alameddine “a bright and engaged student, and a truly fine young man.” The 20-year-old from Saugus, Mass., had just declared English as his major, and also enjoyed music. The jazz connoisseur took music theory for fun, one of only two students in the class who was a not a music major. “If you were only here to read this, Ross,” read a message on Mr. Alameddine’s MySpace page from a friend who worked with him last summer, selling computers at Best Buy, “you’d know what an imaginative, intelligent, compassionate, and most of all hysterically funny human being you were.” —Lauren Smith Posted on Thursday April 19, 2007 | Permalink |Comments |
To Ross family, but specially Mrs Alameddine, my family send your way our sincere condolences. I was watching th news on Channel Seven, when they announced that you just found out that your son was among the victims. Tears rolled down my face. As a mother myself, I automatically felt the pain and the sorrow that you were going through. The Alameddine family is in our prayers. May the GOD of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego and also our GOD keep your family together in this trial time. From the Laguerre family, in Medford, Massachusetts
