Abbas Atrvash
On January first the Iranian community lost a very dear public servant, scholar and friend due to cancer. I never met ex-Iran Air man Abbas Atrvash but we exchanged emails from the earliest days of Iranian.com. He was always kind, always helpful and always mindful of all that is truly good about Iran and Iranians. In recent years he was an active member of EXIR, the group of IRAN AIR former employees (www.exir.org). Many of you may recall his passion for and knowledge of the Iranian airline industry through a series of articles which eventually turned into a book:
* The evolution of the Iranian airline industry
//iranian.com/History/June97/IranAir/inde...
* Against the wind: Pioneer women pilots
//iranian.com/History/2002/November/Pilot...
* Ready for take-off: From "History of Iranian Commercial Aviation"
//iranian.com/main/albums/ready-take-0
* Shahla: Women's rights advocates were rare in 1962
//iranian.com/Features/2001/July/Shahla/i...
His beautiful spirit will live on.

A LEGEND WHO WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS
by Mani Vessal (not verified) on Mon Jan 05, 2009 04:19 PM PSTI had the great fortune and honor of knowing Mr. Atrvash for over twenty two years. I grew up side by side this great man and his family in Toronto.
He was just like a father figure to me which became evermore apparent since my own father's passing a few years ago.
Having lost him is just as tragic and equally devastating as the day I lost my own father.
May your soul rest in piece. I don't doubt for a second that your legend will live among every single individual who had the greatest honor and pleasure of knowing you.
You will be most deeply missed but never forgotten Abbas Joon!
I know him from good old
by Bijan Nakhaei (not verified) on Mon Jan 05, 2009 10:24 AM PSTI know him from good old days in Iran Air. He was very intelligent, knowlegeable, and loving man. We were always in touch by e-mail. It is terrible sad to hear this. God bless his soul. My condolences and heartfelt sympathies to his family during this difficult time.

by farrad02 on Sun Jan 04, 2009 11:05 PM PSTI offer my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Abba Atrvash. He was indeed a great Iranian who loved his country and compatriots!
I hope the Atrvash family puts an Iran Air logo on his tombstone!
Rest in Peace...
by kfravon on Sun Jan 04, 2009 08:24 PM PSTMr Atrvash was such a pleasant soul.
I remember he contacted me after he saw my grandmother's memorial pictures here on Iranian.com.
//iranian.com/Ravon/2005/December/Dowlatshahi/index.html
My grandmother Sadighe Dowlatshahi spoke of him very fondly. She was thrilled that he went to Toronto to meet with her, and later, he presented her with the book which included her story....RIP Mr. Atrvash...he's a great soul. My condolences to his dear family.

Deepest Condolences
by Fair on Sun Jan 04, 2009 05:25 PM PSTon this wonderful man's last flight.
Mr. Atrvash has done invaluable service to both Iran Air and our history. I have read his book and articles on this website, and they are excellent and unique.
No matter how much money you pour into an airline, you don't achieve the phenomenal success that Homa did up to 1979 without immense professionalism, hard work, and dedication like that of Mr. Atrvash.
May he rest in peace and always be remembered.

A Great Loss

by Nima Adloo (not verified) on Sun Jan 04, 2009 01:19 PM PSTTo Whom All That Knew Him,
I don't think there is anyone who came across my uncle that walked away not loving him. He was one of the most kind hearted people that one could ever meet. His wisdom and generosity were just a couple of the qualities that attracted you to him. He was a man that you could sit with and pass countless hours with and not know a minute had gone by. The affects that my uncle had on people were those that one carries with them for a lifetime.
His wealth of knowledge and dedication to the airline industry is something for the history books. I don't think there was a day that went by that my uncle didn't spend putting together information about the industry which he was such a big part of. The book in which he wrote, The Historyof Iranian Commercial Aviation" From the Beginning to The Present Day (www.iranairlineshistory.com), was just one of the examples of how much he loved his career in the airline industry. I am so proud of all his accomplishments and hope to translate his book into English for all those who cannot read Farsi one day.
My uncle will truly be missed by all those knew him and for all those that are going to know him. He will truly be missed by family, friends, and acquaintances. I would like to leave off with a quote that I find fitting for my uncle, "Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them."
With Warmest Wishes,
As my uncle would say it...Azizam!
My deepest condolences
by asghar62 on Sun Jan 04, 2009 11:49 AM PSTI met Mr. Atrvash for the first time in 2002 in Toronto while visiting one of my relatives.

May he rest in peace.
