He was such a giving, genial person, who I had the pleasure of meeting. His notion of life has always been a great example for me. My first memory of him is the first time that we have met and he helped me to study English for my exam for hours. That alone shows how gracious and kind he was. He will be missed deeply, even by the ones like me that he touched briefly…

Strength Joy and Radically Fun

Erin - After I met your Dad and your family, I could see where you got your laugh and the twinkle in your eye...  God's sweet design in all that lovely DNA that passed on to you.  I remember when I was staying at your house, and then I finally met your Dad, it really was like, "Dad is home".  He brought a sense of completion to the story that was etched into the walls of the house.  I could see how his personality and everything impacted the life your home, even after he was no longer living there.  He really was such a family man, full of interesting wisdom, and so generous in love and energy.  I feel like you and your family members could fill books with wonderful stories about your Dad.  May your family find comfort and joy in sharing the wonderful memories.

I was lucky enough to be in the bridal suite to witness Ahmet’s first viewing of his daughter, Erin, in her wedding dress before she walked down the aisle. I have never forgotten the look of pride and love that he displayed for her and I knew that I was privileged to be witnessing something intrinsically beautiful in those moments. Erin’s sister Mine was also in the room and there was a moment of beautiful connection with all of them. Later in the evening, I saw the same adoration again during Ahmet and Erin’s Father and Daughter dance. It was very touching as it showed his deep love and pride for his children. It imprinted on me and I have carried those memories with me until today.
I have been trying to source photos from these precious moments and will send if I am able to find them. 
My sincerest condolences again and much love.

I will never forget your Dad referring to me as Becky Bakel. He knew my last name was Lakel. It was just his thing.
