John Akouri, a Farmington Hills city councilman who heads the Lebanese American Chamber of Commerce, has met Gemayer's father several times during his visits to metro Detroit. "The future of Lebanon was assassinated today,'' Akouri said Tuesday. "He was the next generation of leaders." Akouri spoke with several Lebanese-Americans today and said they are surprised and saddened by his assassination. "Everyone is in a state of shock," Akouri said. "The children of Lebanon will sleep in fear tonight." There may be memorial services for Gemayel in metro Detroit this weekend, but no times have been set for now, Akouri said.
