I have long appreciated the pioneering work Dr. Nagi did in investigating the Social Security Disability program** and will continue to strive for improvements in our treatment of persons who find themselves unable to work. We need more people like him and will miss him.

Kay,
I am so sorry for your loss-what a rich and full life you had together!

Saad was a great friend, colleague and mentor. I came to Ohio State in 1986 in part through his urging and greatly enjoyed the many fine lunches, discussions and meetings over the years where we discussed issues such as world poverty, democracy and measures to counter these problems.

Karema, I remember how elegant your dad was. I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts.
