I worked with Roman for several years at Tektronix and in time he told me his history and that of his wife...I have led a sheltered life and never know the evil both he and his wife experienced...I thought those experiences would only sadden and break their spirits...but that was not the case...Roman was one of the greatest influences in my life and I feel blessed to have known him.

I worked with Roman at Tektronix during the 70's and 80's. Roman and I shared our love of gardening and he gave me many plants to start in my own garden. These plants are still thriving and I think of him every time I see them in bloom. He was such a wonderful man and a wonderful friend. Roman also gave me a wonderful recipe for plum cake which I still make from time to time. He will always be in my heart.

Mr. Bijan was a wonderful person and had a great sense of humor. We always enjoyed seeing him and he made everyone welcome. It was a great privilege to have known him. I enjoyed stopping in with Maria to see him and having lunch at his assisted living residence. He will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family. Russ and Sharon

I worked with Roman for a few years at Tektronix. He shared his life story with me many times. A very nice man and a good friend. He survived the Russian labor camp and many of them did not. His escape was a great story. I am blessed for knowing Roman Bijan.

Roman was a man who was always happy no matter the circumstance..what a gift to your family and the friends who knew him. He lived an incredible life and will always be remembered as a universal man who had many interests and accomplishments. He is now with his many friends and colleagues in the next adventure which I know he embraces with vigor. God bless your entire family at this time.
