Son of Youssef & Habaka Tenn, was one of 8 siblings raised on a farm in Saghbine, Lebanon. Growing up on the family farm taught him the value of hard work and commitment. It was this drive and determination that led him to Ottawa, Canada to follow his dreams of a bright future for him and his family.
He was an incredibly hard worker, who often worked two or three jobs at a time to realize his goals. From working in construction to becoming a chef at the Chateau Laurier, it all paved the way to his success in the service and real estate industries.
Together with his late wife, Georgette Hanna Tenn, they worked tirelessly to raise their three children Laila, Phillip and Mona with morals, ethics and a strong faith in God.
Aside from his family , his pride and joy was his restaurant, The Four Jays. He made many life-long friends and often reminisced about those times. He loved feeding people, laughing and having a good time.
His legacy will live on through his children Laila (George), Phillip (Natasha) and Mona (Robert), his grandchildren Joseph (Rebecca), Albert, Jessica, Amanda, Gabriel, Jayla and Grace as well as his newest blessing, great-grand daughter Amelia.
He will be deeply missed by his children, siblings, nieces, nephews, their families and his friends.
