Missing you as always, my dear father. I particularly felt your spirit strongly a few days ago as you gently guided me to do something that my heart was pulling me towards. I think of you every day. I celebrated your birthday on your behalf with some chocolate mousse, your favourite dessert!

Missing you as much as ever. The radio has played so many of songs you liked randomly these past two weeks. The kids had some Boston Cremes in honour of you as they do every year. Xoxo

Today would have been your birthday if you were here with us on this earthy plane, and we would have celebrated it with a meal that ended with something very chocolatey and with lots of fresh cream. You would also be very excited to see the men's tennis finals! I miss you every day and you are always in my heart with overflowing love.

I was extremely saddedned to learn of the passing of Mr Ardjomand from a dear friend a few months ago. It is remarkable that on the anniversary of his passing without having any knowledge of it I kept thinking about Mr ardjomand and now that I have found this site dedicated to the memory of this great man I can see the connection!
I extend my sincere and heartfelt belated condolences to his dear wife Diana and dear daughters Roya and Seema in sharing admiration and tributes to the most valuable services, a dignified and delightful spirit and persona of this outstanding servant of Baha.

I have not yet found anyone to replace the friendship we enjoyed together over all those years.

Mehrdad was an excellent role model, one with exemplary conduct which made him such a valuable leader. His keen interest in a wide range of topics enabled him to be both interesting as well as interested in your world.
For two new assistants I remember he displayed a beautiful serenity as he outlined the duties and responsibilities and was always neat and well organised. His devotion to his role as Auxiliary Board member was uplifting as he often sacrificed evenings to carry out deepenings many hours away from his home. It was always a pleasure to listen to his answers to Baha’i questions and even if you knew the topic, delight in his clear, concise and orderly presentation.
I am very grateful to have been able to serve as an assistant under Mehrdad's guidance.

This man was lit from within.
Beyond all the reasons for us coming together, on a human to human level it was always a warm and comforting experience to be with him. He gave and never took from you. If you were down or jaded he fortified you. He smiled so easily and that smile remains as a permanent gift in one's memory.

It's hard to believe it's one year since my beloved father passed away. I think of him all the time, and although I miss him terribly, I have had profound connections through my dreams and at the most unexpected moments. I feel so lucky to have had such a loving, supportive and patient father and grandfather to Naysan. Dad: you will always be with me and in my heart. I love you dearly.

Dear Diane, Roya and Sima,
Shocked to belatedly learn of your sad news and regretting that I have been out of touch for so long, I recall a few hectic years of close working with dear Mehrdad, especially in our Rotary "Mankind is One" year. Being the theme chosen by the Japanese medical specialist, who was President of Rotary International for the year (about 1976, I think), with Reg ?? and Ken ??, we gained NSA permission to send introductory material to all Rotary Clubs in Australia and offer to supply speakers to their meetings. Mehrdad addressed Orange North, my club. At least one District Governor objected to our 'introducing religion to Rotary'!
With cherished recollections and love to you all,
Tony

It is many years since I have had the privilege to be in company with Mr. Ardjomand - he was the dear and devoted father of two wonderful daughters, dear friends - knowledge of their refined hearts, intelligent, vibrant approach to life, beauty of mind and warm spirits are a testament to his and Diane's parenting. I have no doubt that Mr. Ardjomand will continue his influence from the heavenly realm, where his spirit is free to soar, knowing that as we pray for those who are departed, they pray for us. My love and prayers to Diane, Roya and Sima, and all members of the families.

Mehdad and Diane came to Shiraz for work with their two beautiful young daughters before the Iranian revolution. As I was friends with Mehrdad's sister, Shiva, I had the privilege of meeting and knowing their wonderful family. Both Shiva and Mehrdad were very gentle, kind, extremely gifted and talented (all the Arjomand family are).
My husband was on short-term sabbatical leave in Australia from his University in Shiraz but due to the revolution our family ended up staying there, when after a few years we received a letter from Mehrdad saying that they are planning to move to Australia and we were happy to be able to help them with obtaining their visa’s.
We weren't able to see them for many years as they lived in Sydney and we are in Perth, until finding out just now that our dear Mehrdad has passed away to the Abha Kingdom.

A Remarkable Man
November 12, 2014
My Uncle Merhrdad was a truly remarkable man. When I was about 7 years old he bought me a tiny gold ring for my birthday which made me feel very special as he took me to a jeweller's shop to purchase it.
He also introduced me to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky by whistling the first few lines of their violin sonatas. I had to listen and then try to whislte or hum the tunes back to him. He came for some music lessons to my piano teacher and charmed her in his own special way. She was an old lady, but her eyes would twinkle every time she said, "And how is your uncle? He is so talented!" This was very true, as he made more progress in a few weeks than I made in a year!
My uncle had the most amazing wit, and sense of humour, and was extremely observant, like Sherlock Holmes, as my Aunt Diane used to say! One day he came to our home and said,"Did Mrs. X visit you today?" We said, "How on earth do you know?" He said, "I can smell her perfume!"
Once when we were all on holiday together, he amazed me by swimming the whole length of the pool under water. He then beat one oponent in chess, another in tennis, and yet another in backgammon.... all in one day! "My dear Uncle Mehrdad," I said with admiration, "Is there anything you can't do?"
I guess my uncle was like a shooting star: bright, beautiful and luminous enough to lighten the dark sky for a short but memorable time.
Yes, he was truly a remarkable man.
