	family; his warmth extended to his clients and to the animals in
	his care, and he was known for rescuing and patiently healing
	stray animals that had been destined for euthanasia; and
	WHEREAS, Stephen Chmaitelli was a skilled rugby player and
	enjoyed horsemanship, and he was an avid fan of the Houston
	Astros, good country music, and Lebanese cuisine; he was held in

	clients, and he will long be remembered with respect and
	admiration by all who were privileged to share in his life; now,

	condolences to the bereaved family of Dr. Stephen Chmaitelli;

	memory of Stephen Chmaitelli.
