Mike
Abdelmuti 2000
Surfing Benefactor
The Surfing Walk of Fame would not exist without two things:
Jack's Surfboards and the late Mike Abdelmuti. As the
founding patron of the Surfing Walk of Fame and co-owner
of Jack's, Abdelmuti was instrumental in the formation
of Huntington Beach original shrine to Surf Cityhood.
It is hard to imagine that the Surfing Walk of Fame would
have succeeded without his dedicated efforts, both emotionally
and financially. |

He believed in giving back to his community and to the
sport that made his business such a success-surfing. Abdelmuti
witnessed the completion of a dream with the opening of
the Gemzo Executive Suites building in 2001, named in
honor of his hometown in Palestine. Sadly, Abdelmuti was
diagnosed with cancer in 2000 and finally succumbed after
a two-year battle in July 2002. He will be remembered
for his big heart and keen business sense, and is survived
by his wife, Marli, six children and eight grandchildren.
He will live in the hearts of his friends and family forever. |
