Aslan Baghdadi

Dear Mania, I´ve shared many beautiful moments with you and Aslan over almost 50 years and you were my husband´s -Lew Barnett- university friends before that. Although living in different continents, we have managed to keep in contact and support each other. These are very difficult moments for your family - I know because mine has been through a similar loss and pain - but the future will surprise you with new family members, new friends and interests: life is never one way and there are...

What made Aslan uniquely endearing was his mix of sharp intellect (always), sharp tongue (sometimes) and his very own form of bonhomie. Although he came late in our lives we liked him very much.

Deep condolences to Mania and her family and to Aslan´s family and many friends.

So lucky to know such a person of distinction, kindness, intellect, and familial devotion. It is hard to sum up a grand life in a few words. A wonderful father, husband, and our dear friend.
