In Memoriam : Abraham H. Pishevar II

It is with great sorrow that Iran Cultural and Educational Center shares the sudden passing of Abraham H. Pishevar II.
Abraham, 18, died on Monday, August 25, 2014 in a plane crash in Ohio while starting his first semester at Case Western Reserve University.
Abraham attended our school for many years and was an active member of our community.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends in this very difficult time.
 
May he rest in peace and may all who knew him find comfort in his memories.
