Nadi set the compass of the day with a smile, a good word, great cup of coffee. He was the neighbor in this neighborhood, our own Mr. Rogers. I will miss him and his hospitality. I look forward to seeing Debbie more. My condolences to her and Alexander.

Susan Brown and I met Nadi at Telegraph Hill Club back in 1986. We all partied together with Jim and Amy Vargas, Diamond Lim and the twins. We were all "jocks" -- just Nadi was the most elegant racketball player and sportsman. His graciousness in whatever he did is still with us today. Sorry we can't be there -- we have been living in Vancouver, Canada since 1994. We will miss Nadi.

Debbie and Alexander -
Nadi was one of those constants in our lives that we greatly appreciate in the present and very sadly miss when gone. The neighborhood on Hayes St. shares in a poignant loss. He was a great man to all who knew him. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Deb and Alexander...I met Nadi even before he bought Cafe Corbas and I have known both of you for a long time as well. I am so sorry and I will miss Nadi more than I can say. He brought something special to the neighborhood and Cafe Corbas was his baby. I went to "Nadi's" almost every day, to see my friend who also happened to make the best Latte. Nadi loved you both very much. See you soon at Corbas...Andrea
