goodbye to an local character
« on: August 06, 2010, 14:17:55 PM »
We have said goodbye to Fuji Mehmet today in Kayakoy.  Some of you may know him well from Cafe Pazar and Orient Express. He is a face that I am sure you would all recognise. Unfortunately I cannot find a photo of him right now.
Fuji was tragically killed by a drunk driver while he was crossing the road early Thursday morning.
Our thoughts are with his family and his wife Caroline and he will be missed for his friendly personality and love of Raki and fish we he used to share with his friends.

Sincere condolences to the family on such a tragedy.
As regulars of both cafe pazar and the orient express we must know Mehmet but just cant place him, if anybody has a picture it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jo and Volkan have found a photo of Fuji Mehmet - in case you don't know him he is on the left, Volkan on the right:



A real face of Calis, tragic to lose him. Thanks for taking the time to find and send the photo guys.

Thanks for the photo, as I now recognise him, the 'Fuji' part confused me as I only knew him as Mehmet.
A very sad loss. :(
