Sad news indeed.
He was looking well when we last visited the restaurant a month ago, so at least I hope he didn't suffer too much.
Kindest wishes to his family

what sad, sad news. we were there last Friday and hadn't been for ages, and as usual were greeted by Arif like close family and friends. wonderful man. Terrible shame.
was that his funeral yesterday I wonder. Hundreds of cars parked down the bottom of our hill by the cemetary at alsancak.
He will be so missed. Terrible loss. What was it - a heart attack, or something else?

Goodness me, we drove past all those cars (police in attendance) and wondered which "very important person" must have died? Well, now we know, and he was indeed a lovely person who treated everyone like family and made them so welcome. A very important person indeed as he had no badness in him.
I am very sorry for his family at this sad time and hope he passed peacefully. God rest his soul.

I didn't know him, but from what other members are saying it sounds like he was a good man.
My deepest sympathy to his family.
