   “It is a very sad news, and hard to believe.

   Esmail was a very family oriented person. He had a lovely personality with a friendly character. He was a well read and well educated person. When he came back from the States he became the professor of Tehran University in the faculty of Science.

   The last time that I saw him it was a very coincidental meeting in 1979, at the Faculty club of Tehran University. In my recollection, in that day he was with two of his colleagues. It was in the vestige of Revolution, and we were happy to see each other. During the lunch; like every single Iranian; we only discussed and talked about the Revolution, which was taking place. It was when I discovered that this cousin of my mother was a sincere and sensitive young man with a vast knowledge about politics, and deep feeling about Iran.

   Then after few years in 1985, when I was in California; by chance I met late Dr.Ardalan Davaran, an Iranian Professors in MESA conference. I knew him from Teheran University, whom happened to be Esmail’s friend. When he understood that I knew Essi, he called him right away and asked him if he could guess who was there with him?! In that day; happy to hear from each other, for the first and last time, we had a long telephonic conversation.

   Unfortunately, the following day I was flying home, so there was no chance to see each other. And that was the last time that I talked to him.

   What a pity, and what a great loss.
