He finally retired (again) in 1996 and moved back to North Carolina where he was an active member of the Iranian community, loved and respected. In 2011 he moved to Florida to be close to his younger son Farzin, where he lived until his final days. He is survived by his loving children Vida, Farzad and Farzin.
