Boris Kaufman Obituary
KAUFMAN, Boris
1926 to 2006
Devoted husband, father, grandfather, and loyal friend. An engineer, educator, researcher, builder, hiker, skier, outdoorsman and world traveler with a special love for Paris, gourmet food and fine wine. His friends remember him for his dry wit and unfailing humor. During his 32 year career as professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at California State University, Sacramento he was an inspiration to many for his unique sense of fairness of justice. Before working at CSUS he served as chief engineer in a large air conditioning company. He was also one of the principals involved in the research and development of an artificial ball heart valve. He is survived by Margo, his loving wife of 57 years; daughter (Leah) Lynn, son-in-law Gary;granddaughter Jennifer, and numerous relatives. Remembrances may be made to: Doctors without Borders, or Loaves and Fishes. He lives on in our memories.

I am sixty-one and have known Boris and Margo since I was a youngster. When I bought my first car, Boris came with me to inspect my selection. I remember him crawling into the trunk to look for rust or other problems. He was a good man and remains so in my memory and in my heart. My condolences to his family.
