Very sad news about Avi Farah
Pierre de Lacaze
Folks,
It is with a heavy heart that I share this very sad news. Our colleague Avi Farah passed away a few days ago as a result of a heart attack. He was 63 years old and leaves behind his loving wife Peggy Farah. Peggy reached out to me a few days ago to inform me
of the tragic news.
Avi was truly a beautiful person who came to every LispNYC meetup and social gathering for many, many years. Avi was an intelligent, kind, pleasant and humble person who taught me a lot over the years. I always enjoyed our encounters and exchanges. He had a
wonderful wealth of knowledge to share and truly appreciated our meetups and the kind of people they attracted.
Although I had left New York several years ago, Avi and I stayed in touch and communicated on Facebook.
For those of you who are interested, memorial services will be held this Sunday May 1st, 2022, 3pm – 7pm at Wynham Garden, 1076 Paterson Plank Road, North Bergen, NJ, 07047.

On behalf of LispNYC, our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Peggy as well as his loved ones.
Avi, may you Rest in Peace, as you will truly be missed.
With much sorrow,
Pierre

I'm at a loss for words right now. My condolence to his family.
He was a great guy. We had some great conversations. I'll be
missing him at our meetings for some time to come.
