Wanted Mehdi's family to know what great joy Mehdi brought to all of us who became friends with Mehdi while at high school together at SV High. Lots of great stories and laughs shared, a great love of Premier League Football, a summer vacation in Wildwood, NJ, and reunions back in Binghamton/Conklin, NY. Mehdi will be greatly missed but never forgotten. A great friend, a great person. Hugs to all, Bob Harris

My heartfelt condolences to Mehdi's family.

" In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger. Those are the friends you need to cherish, and I wouldn't trade one of them for a hundred of the other kind" S.O.

I did indeed cherish our friendship Mr. Mehdi.
Rest in peace my friend!

A bout with corona prevents me from attending the service of Mehdi but I want to share the following:
Mehdi was my student as a political science major in several classes. He was smart and funny and, as he often disagreed with me, his presence made for lively classes. We stayed in touch also through our joy of soccer and he remained a generous friend. He will indeed be missed.
