Gurkan Unal
Gurkan passed away October 1, early in the morning, age 89. He was a man of honor, fortitude, and inclusiveness. He loved his friends and family he loved his two countries. He loved to garden, and in some circles his tomatoes were legend. He cared for the forests, trees, birds, all creatures of the earth and the human species.
