Tahir Waseem was my uncle, and I cannot possibly describe to you how terrible it felt to learn that, of all people, it was my uncle, such a successful and inspirational figure, who passed away. My prayers go to Azfar as well(Alhamdulillah I have heard through the family that he is on the road to recovery).

May Allah grant both Tahir Uncle and Amjad Uncle eternal peace in paradise…I for certain could never, and will never, forget them.

Tahir Mamu was indeed one of the finest people I have ever met. Very kind, gentle, great sense of humor and a personality where he made every one very comfortable (kids to old people). By talking to him no one could have guessed that he was one of the top naval officers. It was a shock, great loss when Amjad mamu and Tahir mamu died. May Allah rest their souls in peace. Our prayers are with them. I still have his last 2 e-mails and its very hard to read them cause I still haven’t come to the terms that he is gone.
But I always believe Allah wants the best ones first…

He was a greaaaaaaaaaat man. Although he was a rear Admiral (equivalent to army Maj. General), he was a down to earth person.

He was also a professional soldier and a very hard worker. He used to sleep less than 3-4 hours while he was doing his course at NDC. That is why he topped among all Navy officers at NDC. I had a very long chat with him at his neice’s wedding less than 24 hours before his death. He was so looking forward to his latest assignment as DG MTC. He had brought different files with him and was preparing for his offcial presentations (supposed to be done the day his QUL was offered next week) during nights at his stay in Attock during wedding.

His death was a great loss to not only his family but also his Nation. He will be indeed missed by those who knew him in any capacity.
