As a member at Redwood Meadows Golf Course I played a lot of golf with my friend Raza. We had a lot of laughs together. He will be missed by all the members who enjoyed his company on the course and in the clubhouse.
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I’ve known him since he was involved in Scouting and as an accountant and colleague for years. He will be missed.
I worked with Raza for several years at the CRA. I will always remember his energy and passion for life. He loved musical events – especially folk fest. My deepest sympathies on your loss.
Our most sincere condolences for the sad and sudden loss of your father. We shared many fun times with Raza over the years. He was a good friend and co-worker and will be sadly missed.
We are in shock, about the sudden passing of Raza.
My sons and I played many rounds of golf with him. We partnered with him in Interclub matches and enjoyed his company. We spent many winter Saturdays playing Texas Holdem with him,as well.
Sending my condolences to Raza’s kids. I was a former resident at Dana Village and Raza made a huge contribution to the lives of everyone there!!
Many of us will really miss him a lot.
Lisa, Neil, very sorry to hear about your loss. I still have fond memories of days out with him, whether shooting clays, fishing or hunting.

We were shocked and saddened to hear of Raza`’s sudden passing. Raza has been a dear friend of mine for many years and a friend of my wife since she had the opportunity to meet him on our visits to Canada. Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. We will miss him.
My sincere condolences for the sad and sudden loss of Raza. I played many rounds of golf with Raza at Redwood Meadows. He will be sadly missed.
We offer our condolences to Lisa, Neil and the Tallim family. Raza was both a Colleague and friend. We shared several projects together and had a great time working together. Raza and I share the same birthday April 14 and had a few cheers over the years on that date. He will be truly missed.
I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss; it will be felt deeply and for a long time. I considered Raza a very dear friend and colleague. Back to the days as articling students, and later, just as friends, music and movie buddies. He was kind and generous to a fault. And if one could sum it up, a good man. In a time when that cannot be said of many, Raza set the bar high. I will miss him very much. Love to you all.
I was stunned to hear of Raza’s sudden passing. He has been a friend for many years. I have very fond memories about our discussions at Christmas and New year celebrations over the years. I will miss him. My sincere sympathy goes out to you, Lisa and Neil.
Al and I were so sorry to hear of Raza’s passing. He was a good friend for many years and will be dearly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with, Lisa and Neil.
I am so sorry to hear of Raza’s passing. I was his athletic therapist who treated him so he could get back to his love of golf. During our hour of me treating him, we talked about life- what his passions were, where he wanted to be in the future, and how much he was proud of his kids. We always enjoyed our talks and I will miss his smiling face.
I am shocked to hear of Raza’s death as I am much older. He was my team leader at the CRA in the 80’s. He gave me the best advice for the job. “wear slacks, as you are older it will confuse them.” It was excellent advice for a woman of my generation and I immediately followed it. To his family, my sincere thoughts and regret at this time.
Raza and I worked together for several years and I am very sad to hear this news.
Although I never worked directly with Raza at CRA we spent many a luncheon in the cafeteria. I will always remember his enthusiasm for life in general and in particular for any activity related to the outdoors. My condolences to his family.
So sad to hear about Raza’s passing. Was a special man and loved golfing with him!
Don & I would like to express our sincerest condolences to Neil & Lisa; we’ve known your Dad since my Genstar days when I worked with your Mom. Prayers to you both for time will ease your sorrow, cherish your fondest memories.
Raza was a very kind and understanding person.
