What a loss
He was with us in Bloem in the same floor as me. Very kind & soft spoken gentleman. He had a beautiful hand writing & I used to borrow his notes.
I had a good chat with him at our 2014 RU.
I am deeply saddened.
May his soul Rest In Peace

Lafeer sat immediately next to me through Block days and we were together for many of our attachments. I enjoyed his and Zooni’s hospitality on more than one occasion in Maryland and meeting up with his children when I did.
Zooni, I had hoped to meet up with all of you again but COVID has interfered. My deepest sympathies to you and the family. He was a good friend. I am sorry not to have been able to keep in closer contact.

It is very sad news indeed. My association with Laffa was mainly in the Bloem. Always quietly spoken with a ready smile and ever helpful. One who touched most people’s lives with his gentle manner. I remember going to him to clarify several doubts during my preparation for exams and having things explained in his very clear way with his beautiful notes. It was wonderful to catch up with him at our RU.
My deepest sympathies to Zooni and all the family,

Very sad to hear. Yes , we called him Lafar. Very friendly and humble guy. We had the privilege of meeting him, Zooni and family. He took us “ crabbing “ . He tied white of egg on a hook and caught a few. Then he cooked them for us. Once when I called him, he whispered “ I am in Soudi as a part of the US medical accreditation committee. He was a good pediatrician and went beyond clinical practice. Smart guy. We enjoyed Zooni’s company whenever we met. Zooni please accept accept our deepest sympathies. May his soul Rest In Peace.

I was so very sad to learn about the passing of ‘ Laffa ‘.
Another one of our members – now gone …
May He Rest in Peace ..
My Deepest Sympathies to Zooni and family .
He and Zooni sat next to me at the RU 2014 Saturday night Dinner , and it was nice to talk to him, as I never really had a chance to get to know him much .
He was a very quiet guy with the smile on his face all the time .
From what I remember, one of the youngest in the Class of 64 ., and one of the brightest in the Class of 64
Just goes to show, how important it is to meet up with the Class of 64– had it not been for the RU 64- 2014- -I would have never met him and Zooni .
Remembered – But Not Forgotten ..

We met him a few times in Washington D.C, when I was in New York, visited him & met Zooni. Great lady she was & Laffar was the same quiet wonderful person. He visited us in N.Y, we cooked dinner & had a lot of fun, talking about old times. Very intellectual, bright person he was. Iranthie joins me in sending our sad thoughts & condolences to Zooni & rest of family.

Just returned to Pittsburgh after visiting Bryce and Zion national parks in Utah. I could not get into our website via the iPad. Hence the late response.
Yes indeed very sad news. Laffa Zooni and family used to visit Altoona quite often and on several of these occasions Piching and I and our kids were part of the gathering. We have visited Laffa and Zooni in Maryland when we were residents.
Piching and I convey our deepest sympathies to Zooni and the rest of the family.
