In Memoriam - Sami K. Kerba

Sami K. Kerba - Former Member

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Sami K. Kerba, on November 29, 2025, at the age of 84.

 Born in Alexandria, Egypt, he moved to Canada and built a distinguished career as a respected architect. He was also an active member of the Egyptian community in Ottawa.

 Sami was the beloved husband of Magda Hanna; the proud father of Marc Kerba (Victoria) and Mariane Small (David R); and the loving grandfather of Roslyn, Lewis, David K. and Gabriele.  His memory will also be forever treasured by his nephew Samer and his family, as well as by his many cousins, relatives, and friends.
