As we send you off to the peaceful and tranquil eternity, we will miss your welcoming smile.
Kambiz was always a source of good thoughts, good words and good deeds. He was always kind, positive,
frank and honest to his beliefs and principles. We all at IPSIA did in fact witnessed his instrumental role for
invitation and presence of late Professor Reza, a distinguished Iranian Scientist and Scholar, here at USPTO, year 2016. I am sure there are much more fond memories about our dear friend who left us too soon.
Sincerely,
Reza Asdjodi.
Eternity! – for it we find no key;
Nor any of us past the Veil can see.
Of Thee and me they talk behind the Veil.
But when that parts, no more of Thee or me.
Omar Khayyam.
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Wishing you strength and comfort.
Best regards,
Donya
