One of the tragedies for this generation of Iranians is that there are no structures in place to capture and house a record of their contributions for posterity. In 1965 Latif Ramazan-Nia was the first Iranian to be promoted to become General Refinery Manager. In 1971 he was appointed as an alternate Member of the Board of Directors of the National Iranian Oil Company (N.I.O.C) and the Head of Engineering and Projects Group where he worked until his self initiated retirement in November of 1974 >>> more

I am so sorry about losing your dad. I am also sorry at the daily loss of people who were instrumental in building the country we had so many hopes for. It's a double loss: once to the reovlution and a second time to death.

I was with your dad's old friend and colleague, Ebrahim Saljouqi, the day after his passing. Watching how devastated he was I saw how with the passing of each friend a part of us dies too.

Love to you all.

Unfortunately, the above text of the URL is corrupt. Simply replace the farsi text, attach it at the end of the URL, and it will work.

(Really hate the formatting problem here at IC when using both Roman and Perso-Arabic script.)

Nersi, I strongly suggest

Nersi, I strongly suggest you enter this in Wikipedia Persian. (I'll provide the URL in the next comment)

I'm actually in the beginning stages of composing entries for my great-grandfather (minister, president/speaker of the majlis), my grandfather (minister, president of Tehran University, Légion d'honneur recipient), my uncle (physicist), my great-uncle (Colonel, Artesh), among others.

Great post and pictures. May he enjoy whatever is next

We have lost many like him over the past few years and will lose many more soon. Likes of him are symbols of what might have been, were it not for the great shame of 79.

One of the few who did the right thing and did it right...

by Nazy Kaviani on

But what is posterity other than to be remembered lovingly by those who knew us and respectfully by those who understood the significance and nobility of our intentions?

Mr. Remazan Nia is remembered both lovingly and respectfully by all. In time, he will also be remembered and revered by a nation as one of the few good Iranian men who gave their very best to their country, doing the right things and doing them right. Thank you so much for sharing Mr. Ramazan Nia's achievements with us.

I extend Parvin Khanoom and Nersi Jan and the whole family my deepest sympathies and I wish you all patience in dealing with the loss of this dear and wonderful man.
