I knew Mustafa in the 1990s when he served on the board of directors of WRFG, including a term as president of the board. He was very helpful to us in a time of difficult transition between station managers.
Several years later we saw each other by happenstance at a MARTA station and agreed some time we'd enjoy a longer conversation. I'm now said that that will not happen again. My condolences to family, friends, and colleagues of a very intelligent, warm and good-hearted person.

Mustafa served on the board of directors at WRFG Radio in the 90's. I always admired his cool and calm resolve and his unruffled demeanor yet he was very effective at communicating clear and definitive ideas for the governing of WRFG. It is a tremendous loss for us on this side of the galactic spectrum and a great gain for the spiritual realm. He is definitely one who qualifies to be accessed in the ancestral collective.
My humble and respectful condolences to the Aziz family.
