Nimeh was born in Al-Huson, Jordan and worked for the Government in Jordan for over 40 years. He and his wife moved to America in 1991.
Nimeh was preceded in death by his parents, Khalil and Hilaleh Inmair, wife, Manwah Inmair and a son, Tayel Nmair. He is survived by his children: Diana (Kamal), Hayel (Litsa), Linda (Nabeel), Sael (Ibtihaj), Wael (Ellen), Nael (Rana), Nader (Lubna), and Imad (Karmen).
Nimeh Inmair was born in 1927 to his loving family of a father, mother, and five sisters. As an only son, Nimeh had to quit school at the age of 12 to help support his family. He worked at the British Pipeline Company and The Ministry of Agriculture. Later, his father Khalil lost his eye sight forcing Nimeh to become the sole bread winner for his family. He supported his father, mother, sisters, wife, and nine children. He made sure that all of their needs were met and insisted on educating every one of his children. He loved education making sure that all of his kids had the opportunity to gain higher education, something he did not have the opportunity to do. As a result, he graduated two doctors, two pharmacist, three engineers, and a teacher. He defined the meaning of “Sacrifice” to all of his children. It was amazing to see a father that is truly willing to give up everything for his children.
Nimeh respected everyone whether friend or foe. He was truly a saint by always putting others before himself. He portrayed Jesus’s love and gentleness to all everyone around him. His approach to life was always true faith in God and total acceptance of His will. He was truly loved by all. He will be greatly missed.
