Hamid Ahmadi

I came to this almost four years late, after thinking of Dr. Ahmadi amid current events. I am so grateful to have encountered Dr. Ahmadi at Sac State. I only took one class from him as an undergraduate. That was around 2002, and I don't recall the exact name, but it was a financial analysis class focused on understanding risk and the development of an "efficient frontier" portfolio using Excel. I'm pretty sure I still have a spreadsheet with an example from the class somewhere. At some point...

Professor you had a major impact on my life. Because of your encouragement, I went on to earn a Ph.D in economics which made my life immeasurably better. I am so sad to hear of your passing. I will always remember your kind and gentle supervision.

Dr. ahmadi. I am saddened to see your smiling face in an obituary. You made a huge impact in my life being my professor at Sac State and created a career path for me that started the direction of things for me after graduation. You and Pari even joined us at our housewarming we were so honored by your warmth and closeness to our family and lives. We hope you rest peacefully...your legacy will live forever.

Hamid:

Thank you for changing the direction of my life. You had a consulting job in 1992 and brought me in to analyze financial data. I remember meeting you and sometimes you and Pari at various locations around Sacramento to discuss a variety of topics. Well, it is 29 years later and I’m still working at that same joint powers authority and still analyzing financial and claims data and a whole lot more!!!

May you Rest In Peace.

Amoo, even though we have not spent as much time together as I wished we had, my heart is in grief. You were a beloved member of our family and I am sad we could not enjoy more of your great personality, knowledge and kindness. I am proud to call you my great uncle and I love you. May you rest in peace. Fondly, Diana
