    فاجأني وآلمني خبر وفاة الدكتور ألفرد سعد الأديب والشاعر والرئيس القاري الأسبق عندما وردني عبر كلمة الرثاء الرقيقة والبليغة التي كتبها الصديق الياس كساب وضمّنها مقتطفات خلاّبة للألباب من شعر الراحل.
    إنّ فقدانه إنضاب لمناهل الأدب المهجري وخسارة فادحة لعائلته ولأصدقائه ولقارئيه وللجامعة.
    ستبقى نابضة في ذاكرتنا الصولات والجولات التي خضناها معاً في سبيل توثيق التواصل والتعاضد بين المغتربين في دنيا الإغتراب والأهل في الوطن وفي سبيل حماية حرية وسيادة وإستقلال لبنان التي إستقطبنا مراكز النفوذ الدولية لدعمها.
    كما سيبقى تراثك الأدبي يا ألفرد شاهداً على جودة وصفاء وصدق عطائك.
    مآلك حضانة العليّ القدير مع الأبرار والصدّيقين.

    Dear Mr Elias Kassab Regional President
    Dear Mr Abe Tannous President Boston chapter
    Dear WLCU members and friends

    Today we lost a great man, who was a big asset to our organization, a past Regional President , a founder of the magazine “Al jameaa”, in the nineties.

    An author, poet , and a true leader.

    A media advisor to the World secretariat general.

    I was lucky to answer his call on Friday afternoon, Feb 10. I briefed him on the 17 congress preparation, as usual he proposed to help. and I promised to phone more often.

    He will be missed ,but never forgotten, his memory will shine forever.

    May god bless his soul.

    It is painful to loose someone like Dr Alfred Saad. He was a loyal friend and the inspiration to all, a great pillar of our Union, a relentless crusader for Lebanon and its cause, an extraordinary philosopher and novelist and a fountain of love towards his family members. His absence will create a big vacuum, but his legacy shall certainly remain.

    My condolences to the Saad family and may God bless his soul.

    Dears: The family of late Dr. Alfred Saad,

                The Profile News family

                The publisher of the Profile News

                The World President of the WLCU

                The Regional President of the WLCU(North America) and all the WLCU.

    The Late Dr. Alfred Saad, was a typical intellectual and elite Lebanese who carried his Lebanon with him abroad, his loving tongue was Lebanese, his loving heart was Lebanese, his Loving sharp pen was Lebanese, he was a real Ambassador of our beloved Lebanon. I heard about him and his goodness from some WLCU colleagues like Mr. Anis Carabet and others, as if he was a  famous written Lebanese book. I read him through the Profile News, I appreciated his sincerity and beautiful conversations via  some phone calls, especially his love to Lebanon. He is a great loss and all will miss his services and his  contributions, especially the WLCU.

    With submission to the will of the merciful God, we offer our deepest condolences to his immediate family,  his relatives and friends, praying that Al Mighty God will rest his soul in perfect peace.  Wishing all of you long and happy life.
