    Yes, that was where I found the link to the obituary.

    I posted it separately as Yussuf Gursey was a respected regular in
    AUE, and people who remembered him may have missed the link in a
    rather long article.

    It's not likely that this will be read by anyone unless they are going through
    old messages, but no matter. Yusuf was one of the most pleasant and helpful people I've encountered in Usenet groups. He was very knowledgeable, not only about Turkish, his native language, but also about Arabic and Persian, and maybe Hebrew. He was always ready to answer any questions he was asked.
