Darius Sabavala

Dear Nergis:
We were just informed by Patti about Darius passing away. We are shocked and saddened by this news.

Hi Nargis:

Sorry to hear about your loss.

Patty (from Lever Bros. times) sent me the information of Darius passing away.

Feel free to reach out if you need anything.

I will always remember his bright eyes, and his ready smile and how he threw back a shot of espresso which he loved to do. A discussion with Darius with his knack for articulate argument was always enlightening. He was a great friend and I miss him greatly. Most of...
