Not sure what to say?

Christine, I've only recently heard about your Dad. I worked with your Father in McIntosh and enjoyed also knowing your Mother. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your extended family.

Christine, I've only recently heard about your Dad. I regret not being able to attend his memorial service. Our mutual years at Ciba while sometimes frustrating were more bearable because he was there. I appreciated his friendship and knowing when a rational thinker was in the minority he was always available with his insightful mind and pleasant sense of humor.
Susan and I wish you well and will treasure our family times together.

As a neighbor of Maru and Shafik for many years I knew him to be a kind and gentle man, always with a smile on his face and always well dressed (even when mowing the grass!). A distinguished gentleman with an impressive resume and a heart big enough to lower a laundry basket into a storm drain to save a tiny kitten that the neighborhood children were attempting rescue. My condolences to those who are missing him.

This is sad! I worked for Shafik at Ciba. He was a good man and obviously very intelligent. He let me argue with him and never got mad. I never did win a argument though!
