Edward Mitri Karkar

Dear Natasha, vividly remembering your and Edward's visits to Amsterdam some 15 years ago, we hope all is well with you. How the world has changed since. Dunya and I wish you all the very best. Jurn

My dad Jabra Batchoun always took so much pride in telling us about Edward, the cousin os his mom Alexandra Karkar. In Jaffa, Palestine, Karkar and Batshon's were partners. My dad was always very proud talking about Edward and he told us how he took him to the airport in the mid 50s to go to California and how he so well received him in San Fransisco in 1979. As I am going through his pictures, I saw this one and thought I would share it with you. Warm regards.

Thanks for contributing to the Silicon Valley and microwave electronics. You were a founding pioneer!

Dear Family Karkar
I was speaking yesterday with my own family about you, remembering the hospitality, the gentleness, the cordiality you gave us all during the EILÀ Congress in San Francisco and later to my daughter and her husband in London.

We're real sorry that only now we have realized about your lost.
A beautiful memory of him is and will always be be with us.

Thanks to give us the opportunity for a last "good bye"" through this page.
RIP dear Mr.E.M....

He liked to dance. In 1957 or 1958 I danced with him. I was also a refugee, and just immigrated. I was a clumsy dancer, and ignorant. I was raving about the movie 'Exodus', whereupon he gave me an earful! It sounded preposterous to me then but I did not forget it. Incredible that it took me 43 years to realize that everything he said was the truth. I also remember, he took some odd square metal object out of his pocket and asked me if I knew what it was. I did not have a clue. He said...

Dearest Natasha,
I only found out today about the death of Edward. Please accept all my deepest condolences. Otherwise I hope you are well. I do miss you a lot and hope to see you soon. Love always.

To dear Natasha & Andrusha,
I only learnt recently of Edward's passing and although time has passed, I wanted to send my love to you both. He was a wonderful man, and I have no doubt he is missed by many.
I hope you are both well. My family send much love your way.
Best wishes,

Dear Natasha - I learned only today of Edward's passing, and send my deepest condolences. I met you both in San Francisco, before you were married to each other. Greg Martin & I dined with you both, on a couple of occasions. You have a very handsome son, as so do I. We can be very proud of them. God bless you.
