Not sure what to say?

On the third anniversary of Tad's passing, I realize how much his wisdom applies to the current world situation, and I wish I had a hotline to Tad to compare notes ! I cherish Tad's and Mimi's memories, and wish all their friends well.

Thanks for your contribution on Azerbaijan.

Tad, we will miss you at our holiday dinners, and will always think of you on those occasions. Rest in peace.

Tad-muallim! My thoughts and prayers will always be with you. Thank you for opening your home, your profession, and your heart. You remain my model of what a humanist, an academic, and a caring person is and should be. Allah rehmet elasin.

Tad, I wish I could once again to talk with you sitting at a table somewhere in New York, Warsaw or Baku as we used to do it.

R.I.P., Tad. Wish I could have, and had gotten to know you sooner, and for much longer than I had. Mentors like you were and are rare. You shall be missed by many, from across the globe, who had the privilege of knowing you, and learning from you. RIP.

May Tad rest in peace next to Mimi. Lots of fond memories during the time we were all in NY.
