Dear Tom
It marks the 4th anniversary since you passed away.
I always remember your passionate work and contribution to mankind and I will never forget the advice you gave me for my life.
I never forget your eternal love for humanity.
Thank you so much.

Dear Tom,
One more year has passed, and we still remember you just like the first day.
We will never forget you Tom,
Much love,
Claudio

Dear Tom,

I just wanted to leave a flower for you this time. I wished I could have attached one, I have taken myself. You should see our garden; Cengiz did such a good job. I will share it with Rozann on August 14.
I wanted to tell you that I am thinking of you today, I will be thinking on August 14 too.
Love

Dear Tom. I know that you know I have been actively applying your approach and way of thinking (I avoid using the word "model") in so many research and consulting work of mine.....even more so during the last four years since you left us and live in a "happier life". Nothing is happier than mentioning your name and contribution to my audience as I value our friendship highly. Love you, always

Hi Dad,
It’s been almost four years. I think of you every day.
I think of you especially when I am persevering in solving a problem. Honestly, you are at the forefront of my mind in those frequent moments. The other day my favorite sunglasses fell behind the dryer. When I rigged up a pole with a hook and duck tape and recaptured them, it was ALL YOU. I thanked you then and I thank you again for the way you instilled in all your children, and everyone who loved you, a spirit of not just thinking outside the box, but more importantly at least for me, perseverance. God bless you Dad.
Love,
Em

Dear Tom,

Sorry I am so late this year. I had arrhythmia like you had years ago; I preferred the surgery instead of pills Tom. Every pil has some side affects; I thought surgery will be better. I, even, shared with my doctor the medicine you used and had no arrhythmia afterwords. He said we can try it later if this operation does not work for me. Anyway that was my excuse.

I remembered you the day you born and shared my feelings with Rozann. We all miss you; off course Rozann is the most understandably. She was your soulmate.

Our journal is doing fine; you should have participated in our virtual 2021 ISAHP symposium, Tom! It was so well organized, well attended. We did better than INFORMS! They are good organizing in person meetings but not that well in virtual.

Antonella Petrillo and I are organizing an invited session for INFORMS 2021 in October. As you know we both work on supply chain management so we organized "Theory and Applications of AHP/ANP in Supply Chain Management," Attend the meeting you might like it; give us a feedback:-)

Love

What I miss a lot are our philosophical conversations about nothing and everything. I still find myself instinctively stopping by Tom's office in Katz and being surprised the door is closed (yours was always open). Then I remember you are not around anymore!

I always, always remember your birthday parties. How lucky I was by being there. I remember Dr. Zoffers' interesting, creative clocks as his birthday presents. Happy days...

You may be somewhere else and not with us. However, you are not forgotten, Tom. 

Dear Tom,
It is nice to have the chance to remember your birthday with all your friends and family.
I leave this birthday candle for you
with love,
Claudio

Dear Professor,
And this year, on your birthday, thank you for the knowledge you shared with us!

Dear Tom
September 2020 | December 3 -4 ISAHP2020
The dates of this year, when I was part of the team to release and present the AHP based mobile application called DecisionMentor, focused to common people, making commoner user-friendly was the drive got from you to take AHP to common people.
We have just started, long way to go, with vision that AHP based decision support tool to everyone's hand !!

The application is available at:
https://www.decisionmentor.app/
To help everyone to Clarify their Confusion, with tagline "Clarify your Confusion"
Decision Visualization is the key word to development of the application
Poster with title
AHP FOR EVERYBODY: INNOVATION THROUGH MOBILE APPLICATION FOR PERSONAL DECISIONS
was presented at the ISAHP2020 co-authored with Sovit Poudel.

Looking forward to tahe AHP to common people in the days to come ....

Dear Professor Saaty,
YOU wouldn't be forgotten since your way in science would never stop. Obviously, the techniques and the knowledge YOU provided to scholars and experts all over the world, would make the life of the next generations easier and brighter. Challenging with uncertainties overwhelming many aspects of our lives, YOU learn us to look at events from several points of view instead of a simple glass of cliches.
I will never ever forget your invaluable help when YOU sent your original articles and books whom I never can replace with any other source in learning to make decisions by including many unseen and complex parameters that are being occurred momently in our communities. YOU learned me how to look at the world not only in black and white. YOU made me able to see infinite colors in the universe.
I finally published my article last year, that absolutely, it wouldn't be done without your precious mentoring. I am donating my article to YOU and all of your fans.
I am sure that Rozann would keep your way bright and shining!

With all respects,
Maysam Khodayari Gharanchaei

Dear Tom:

Always remembering you Tom, I am continuously working on AHP application. I always remember, during ISAHP2003, Bali, you had told me that AHP should reach to common people, not only limited to academic excise. Trying to build system to bring AHP to common people.

Rest in Peace !!

I always remember you, Tom. I get help from your ideas for decisions and creativity.

You changed my life. I owe you a lot. Thank you again. Each time when my gmail alerts me to say that "Tom Saaty has a new citation," I say this is eternity. You and what you left to this earth will be with us forever.

I think of you more and more today.
It's been 3 years since you left.
Thank you for the most precious gift, all your life.

Although you have left us,
our respect and love for you remains forever.

Dear Tom,

it has been an honor and a privilege to know you and to cooperate with you. Three years have passed quickly, but the memory of you and your work does not fade. Rest in peace .

Dear Tom,

Another year passed by... It seems like yesterday the time I had the chance to share with you. My prayers for you tonight... Be blessed!

Happy birthday Tom, wherever you are, your work and guidance have and will continue to help many others all over the world.  I will never forget your words of encouragement and jokes.

Dear Tom,
3 years have passed and it seems yesterday. I think the best way to remember you (and I´m sure you would agree), is to remember you with happiness in the heart and enjoying the memories of all moments we had together.
Big hug and love,
Claudio

Time passes inexorably, but Tom ... you are always and always will be with me and in my thoughts. What I am today is also thanks to you. Miss you! Love, Antonella

Dearest Dad,
You would have wanted us not to be sad today, so I'm choosing to focus on the beauty of my little flower garden in mid-August, the goldfinches who match the yellow wildflowers, the doe with the twin fawns, the fox living in the woods. Your zest for life was a model for me, and I'm glad that I was and always will be your daughter.

So hard to believe it's been 3 years. Seems like just yesterday we were all sitting out on the back porch while he smoked the last stub of a cigar with a nail in it, reading jokes from his joke books. I love and miss you grandpa.

Dear Tom
From the morning I have a need to light candles and incense... I am praying in your intentions. Rest in peace. You will remain in my heart and hearts of many people forever.
Anna

Still miss you dad -- 3 years on and it's just like yesterday.

Grandpa,

Hard to believe it has been 3 years without you on Earth yet it is still so apparent that in so many ways, you are still here with us and the many lives you have impacted for the better. I was thinking about the year we were visiting and you were really into making your own yogurt. You told us kids to go check if the temperature was ready (when it was on the stove), and we asked "how do we know", and you responded with "go stick your finger in the pot and you will know if it is ready". I regret not taking this lesson more seriously because those small batch yogurts cost a fortune at the grocery store and I wish I could remember the steps you taught us when you made your own! Another fond memory (of many) was sitting on the porch with you when it was raining, and you asked "I wonder how many drops of water are falling at this particular moment"...you always had the most interesting thoughts, you pushed my brain to think outside the box and to question "everything". I miss so much about you, but especially your humor and laugh (which we could all use more of right now). Cheers to you Grandpa, gone but never forgotten and always missed.

Happy Birthday Dad 2020

Dad and I shared the same birthday, and today I'm 70 and he would have been 94. I'm thinking of him, as I often do on ordinary days. When I was a little girl, he encouraged curiosity about nearly everything, and awakened me to the grandeur of the universe and the beauty of the natural world. He admired Albert Schweitzer and his reverence for life. There isn't enough space here to write about all the ways in which being his daughter shaped the adult I became.
Perhaps the best gift he gave me was my beloved sister, Emily, my marvelous three brothers, Michael, John and Dan, and my warm, loving stepmother and dear friend, Rozann.

Happy Birthday Dad! I wish you were here to celebrate together.

Dear Tom,
How can I forget you? You have influnced my thoughts, my way of thinking like nobody else did, you do exict in my day to day life. It is my mession to see the AHP/ANP in practice in all government organisations. May your soul rest in peace, Amen.

Dear Dad,
I think about you so much, especially yesterday. Happy Birthday to you! I taught your 3-year-old great-granddaughters a billion...that’s how many grains are in a big pail of beach sand! Thank you for teaching me not to be afraid to try new things, and do things and think for myself. Love you Dad.

Thank you for crafting such a useful method.

Miss you, Tom!... happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Tom. Miss you si much. Years have passed but i'll Always remember you as the most wonderful, brilliant and kindest man i had the pleasure to meet. Thank you for all your support.

Happy Birthday dear Tom . I will always remember you .

Sleep peacefull on your birthday Dear Tom. I never forget your contribution to my life as much as to many others'.

And today, on your birthday, thank you professor for the knowledge you shared with us!

Happy birthday Tom. Great people are never really gone. They live on in the hearts and minds of the lives they affect. Tom was such a person. On his birthday let us remember a great person, great scholar, a great mentor and I am so proud to say, my friend.

Dear Tom,
Happy birthday.
We remember you in your birthdate.
Please, receive all our love and gratitude for your existence.

I miss you Tom. I always thought what a wonderful family you have. They always remember you we always remember you. Journal is doing fine. 

I will forever miss Tom and his way of thinking and seeing things. 

Dear Professor, I will never forget you ! Your ideas, philosophy, scientific methods and lectures they will stay with me forever.
Sleep peacefully ....

Dear Tom,
There are already passing 2 years, but don't ever think that we are going to forget you. You (and all you gave) will be forever with us.
Rest in peace Tom, we love you.

We did not forget you, today it is two years since you passed away.. Rozann visited me here in Turkey this summer Tom, I wish we were able to do this all together. Your ideas, philosophy, techniques and all you gave us will live with us forever Tom. Sleep peacefully...we love you.

I was very happy when I met Professor Saaty at the Euro XXII Conference in Prague and took a picture with him! That photo was of my cabinet until my retirement, and now it adorns my work space in the apartment.
Thank you prof. Saaty for the knowledge he shared with us!

Today (August 14) marks the second memorial day of Professor Saaty's trip to heaven.
No one can dare deny his great academic achievements in organizing human judgments.
Furthermore, I never forget Prof. Saaty, who has put great care and effort into world peace for humanity.
The eternal mentor of my life,
Please rest in peace.

I really miss being an invited judge of the student creativity projects at Tom's classes at Katz. It was an honor to do it, and a pleasure to be exposed to Tom's great wit and charm. It's just another thing of Tom's that will be missed by many.

Tom Saaty dared to touch the soul of those who were fortunate to know him and study his pioneering theories and protocols.  Tom enriched and made better all those who he knew and taught over the decades.  May Tom's memory be eternal & his work live on. 
Charlie Petredis

Dear Tom,
Jerry and I are trying to continue your dream of a conflict resolution institute. Now we would need your more than ever. 
Love.

Grandpa,
Lilly, my Mom and I just returned from visiting with Grandma. The house and visit wasn't the same without you, but your great presence remains. I hope you enjoyed the flowers from your garden that we left for you. I miss you very much and think of you so often. Sending you love
PS Go Steelers ;)

Close to sixty years of knowing Tom is too long a time period to paraphrase in a few words. He is a special person who left me with a lot to remember.
Grace and I miss him and he is always remembered by us as we frequently relate a story or an anecdote where he and us were involved.
