"TJ was my co-worker in Calgary and a wonderful person—kind, respectful, and had a great sense of humor with surrounding colleagues. My deepest sympathy to TJ's family, especially his wife, whom I met at one of the company events. I was shocked to hear of his passing from a friend. May he rest in peace."

I was so very shocked and saddened to hear of TJ’s passing. He was always very kind to me. I will always remember that, when he was joking around, a characteristic glimmer of light was captured in his eyes as he grinned. He will be greatly missed.

Souls that pass in the night and then unavoidably return and meet.

A true life long friend; would do anything for you; always there to help.

A Kindred Spirit:

most look for that magical element to survive or thrive;

you, an overpowering need to know how things work, regardless of personal gain.

You loved to discuss; debate; argue. We rarely agreed fully on anything, yet had true respect & friendship.

You mentored the Dance Club beyond rational limits.

We will miss your spirited antics; your laughter; your dedicated friendship; your depth of character.

Rest peacefully dear friend. Until our paths cross again.

Karen & Don

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of TJ passing away. I can’t imagine the pain you’re experiencing. I am so honored I was able to get to know TJ during his remarkable life. What a good and generous person his was. A good friend who we would never forget

We knew TJ from the dance club. You could see his love and passion for dance and for the club. His joy when he stepped onto the dance floor was evident.

Keep on dancing TJ. We will miss you.

Our deepest condolences to the family.

Terence and Tracy.

Dearest Dolores and TJ’s extended family. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on TJ’s passing.

We always enjoyed engaging with TJ whether the topic was dance, travel or engineering. He was positive, warm, knowledgeable, engaging, and invariably made us feel welcome. What a lovely person.

We are so grateful our path’s crossed.

Rest in peace TJ. You will be missed.

With respect and deepest condolences – Carmen and Neil

I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the loss of TJ. He was an incredible uncle and friend, and will always remember how supportive and kind he was when I lost my dad. He was the closest thing my dad had to a brother in Calgary. We were honoured to have him be the officiant of my dad’s service, and made sure we felt comfortable and supported.

TJ, you have no idea the impact you made on us, and I only wish I had more time to tell you. I hope you see

Dad where ever you may be, and you guys are continuing to have deep talks over coffee.

Dolores and Family of TJ Al-Himyary, please receive our deepfelt condolences on the passing of TJ. We observed an active and productive life devoted to family, working as expert engineer, a vigorous sportsman. He contributed many years to our dance community and Tibor collaborated with him at our Dance Club. TJ was always warm and congenial, and we empathized regarding issues that concerned both of us. We inquired about the health of each other’s mothers. Megan and Tibor will remember TJ vividly and fondly.

With deepest respect, May he rest in peace.

My love and condolences to Dolores and families. I am devastated to learn that such a good person as T.J. passed away. He was generous and kind, honest, available and helpful, so dedicated to our dance club. I like how precise he was. I will really miss him.

Our condolences to all his loved ones. TJ will be remembered for his charm, his ability to engage an audience and his steadfast approach to life.

TJ will be greatly missed. One of my favourite memories of him is - whenever we had get togethers - he would always work his way around the room and talk to everyone - including people he had never met before.

Sending our love and condolences to Dolores and families

Khan Family

My condolences to TJ's family. TJ had so much dedication to the Dance Club. So many of us benefited from his kindness, sincerity, enthusiasm, caring..... for many years. To me he is also a good friend. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Dolores and his family. This is truly devastating news. I vividly remember my last phone call with him—it was about assisting a refugee family. Without hesitation, he offered his support, saying he could visit their place or speak with them over the phone. We went ahead with the call, and he generously interpreted the conversation for us.

He had a remarkable ability to bring people together. In social gatherings, he would make a genuine effort to engage everyone, regardless of their age or background. His warmth and inclusivity left a lasting impression on all who knew him. - Shakeel Khan

I am very sorry to learn of the early passing of Thair. He was a very good man and a very capable researcher May God rest his soul

Dear Dolores, I was so saddened to hear of your profound loss, and my thoughts are with you.

TJ was one of a kind. He will be dearly missed.

Sad I never got to see him in person in the last few days.

He had the "wheel of life on his legs"

Always full of life, always moving.

May his soul rest in perfect PEACE.

Good buy to a dear and a true friend you cold rely on in times of need. I am still not willing to accept the new. I will miss you a lot.

Can’t begin to express my sadness. Thair was a good friend and a brother. He was the facilitator of my late husband celebration of life in 2020. When I retired two years ago, I was happy to have Thair in my farewell lunch. Always remember how kind, energetic and true friend he was. He will be very much missed. May he rest in peace.
