I met Noor late in his life, but he quickly became dear to me and all of the others who attend lunches with the Senior Men's Group at First Congregational Church.  I am grateful that I knew him and I miss him.

Educated with great insight to life and how to live it. Spent much time with noor discussing his views on religion and the power of the human spirit. I know he is now in his perfect place.

Noor was one of the most interesting people I have ever known and I shall always be grateful for his friendship. We all miss him at our monthly luncheons of the senior men's group from First Congregational Church.  We shall never forget his candor and his determination to see to it that things are done right.

Nobody could say it better. Dad, you were the most amiable, gentle and generous person I ever knew. I will miss your voice over the ocean, your smile that was so close and perceptible even through the phone and so many memories we shared. We will meet some day over there and please reserve a seat in your white lounge in paradise for me and say " What the heck" as we used to do... Love Carla

I am touched by the many family photos and remembrances. It is very evident he will be greatly missed. Scotts Valley was positively shaped by his involvement. Our condolences, Debbie Muth and the Scotts Valley Historical Society.

Noor was such a key figure in the City of Scotts Valley's history. I worked 40 years for the City and was elected to City Council after retirement. Noor gave a great deal, love his contribution to the Calvacades years ago and only wish his proposed developments for the City could have moved forward. He was a great guy and will definitely be missed. Donna Lind, City of Scotts Valley Mayor

Noor was a genuine inspiration to the members of our First Congregational Church senior men's group. His unfailing energy and remarkable personal courage were the perfect antidote for the discouragement that sometimes comes with advanced years. He enjoyed the love and affection of every one among us, and will not be forgotten.

Dad, thank you for everything you gave to me, the influence you had on my life and the adorable example you always were for me. I' m sure we have a spiritual connection and we'll meet again in another dimension. I felt that something was wrong, a strong uneasiness and the need to call you which couldn't wait until your birthday and then Neela answered the phone...I'll miss talking to you and sending pictures, there is so much I still wanted to tell you. When we met almost 6 years ago we just laughed out loud because we realized that both of us hadn't changed at all and the old familiar feeling was there in an instant. You are one of the most adorable persons I ever knew and my heart is full of memories. You had so much confidence in me which gave me a lot of strength. You allowed us (Fran, Chris and me) , 3 kids at 17, 15, and 13 , a few weeks after I had my driver's license to take your car and go to LA together...I also think it's not coincidential that worked as a broker for so many years, I always admired you. I love you and miss you and your spirit will always be around, there are things that stay forever...

I met Noor when he was courting Neila. I was impressed with his energy in spite of his age. I attended his wedding to Neila. He was a great individual and I was very happy to have known him. I will certainly miss him.

Thank you for everything Mr. B

i will always remember and be thankful for knowing you

Words cannot describe how much we are so affected by your passing, You have been a symbol of peace and love for all of us. It is so sad to see you all go...one by one... I guess you will be having Kaffe und Kuchen with the rest of the family that went ahead of you. Give my love to my dear Peter. We miss him down here so much. Ana and I will always treasure your memories in our hearts. Rest in peace my dear Brother in law. We are mourning your demise ... We love you... Till we see each other again. Always, Cathy

Mr. B was a shining example of kindness to others and dedicated work ethics. He would be at the Hotel 7 days a week no matter what. He will be missed and left a positive thoughtful memory in my mind, the world needs more Mr. B's.... RIP Mr. B

I going to miss you Mr B
You allway was a important part of my life.
Thank you for all what you done for me.

You were always there Noor; to help your first daughter Taj and my daughter Shareen explore your home and keep from getting lost in the rooms over forty years ago. Then it was your organizing my briefcase to make my life more efficient, and then you guided our Muslim community to economically purchase our Islamic Center. You developed our history. These were just some of your accomplishments, anybody else can easily continue to add more.

Dear Noor,

although it has been many, many years since I saw you the last time you and your family have always been in my heart and in my memories.
When I came to California in 1998 your house in Saratoga was my first home where we enjoyed so many wonderful moments! I remember sleeping outside on an air mattress watching the stars or having fun with Easter-egg-hunting together with the whole family.
I would have loved to meet you again!
You will be missed so much, you have been loved so much!
Thanks Noor - you'll be in my heart, next to Christa and together with all the fantastic memories I have!

Dear Noor,

I do not think that I ever met another person who was like you: gracious, kind, giving, patient, loving, generous, determined, intelligent, considerate, endlessly hospitable, such dedicated father, grandfather, husband, in all ways so very special. All of that and handsome too. The space you leave is a big hole.

Outside my sisters and brother you are the one person whom I have known longer than any other. So many memories of good times, sometimes hard ones too.
You included so many in your life, considered them family even me a divorced in-law.

I wish I would know how to comfort your wife, daughters and sons with spouses and grandchildren during this difficult time of seeing you off to another world. You will be missed so much.

The good thing is that there are great memories, some a bit amusing: You being able to take a nap on the spot for only 10 minutes, learning how to dance. I remember when we went to the city with guests from Germany and tried to get into the fancy bar on top of the Fairmont. They did not let us in as the men were not wearing ties. We were creative and made them with scarfs. It worked! Afternoon was saved.

You are in my heart and will always stay there.

You will be missed Noor . You are one of the nicest person I've ever known. I have known you since 1985 and during all those years you are one of the person that we can call on in time of emergency. Saratoga days was also so memorable for me . Coffee time every 3:00 pm with the family and it was lovely. Saratoga was the first place I have known as home because you let us stay in the your home , I can remember many more but you will be missed . May you be in the palm of the lord always.Thank Noor .
