Im so sorry to hear that Dr Kattan passed away September 3, 2016. I just learned about his passing today, June 10, 2018. I worked for him in the office at Food Science from 1977 until he retired in 1988. After he retired, I continued working at Food Science until I retired in 2012. Dr. Kattan was a wonderful administrator, mentor & friend to me. I value & appreciate my association with him during my tenure at UA, Food Science. I will truly miss him and my prayers are with his family; even though, these thoughts are belated.

"Big A" was my favorite college mentor. I was honored to be entrusted as a summer weekend custodian of their dream cottage on Beaver lake. A gentleman. He will be missed.

Ahmed was the first neighbor I met when we moved in across the street. I had moved away but in the last few years had been returning to Fayetteville and had formed a deep friendship with him. Our time together was spent with his telling of great stores of his childhood, his deep love for his wife and his devotion to the University. He had also become the grandpa to my granddaughter, his love for her was a wonderful part of her life. For this I will be forever grateful. Ahmed you will always have a special place in my heart.

Dr. Kattan was department chair when I began my Food Science education and was gracious enough to offer me an assistantship. Without his support I would never have completed my MS nor pursued a PhD. He will be sorely missed!

Jeanie and Brothers- I of course knew your dad all the way back to Leverett School days but also as a loyal, devoted Goff-McNair customer. He loved his Lincolns and took great pride in keeping them up. In later years when he would talk to me about his Tracer wagon I never knew if he was talking about the car or Jeanie, as he called the car "his little girl". A true gentleman. Condolences to family and friends.

I met Dr. Kattan and his lovely wife many years ago while delivering meals on wheels. They were two of my favorite people to deliver to. Unfortunately they changed my route and I hadn't deliver to them for some time now but I would still go visit when I had a chance even after your Mom passed away. I loved to hear the stories of him growing up and how he ended up in Arkansas. i will miss all the times we just sat and talked.

Ahmed was a fixture in our neighborhood.I appreciated his distinguished academic record, but he and Ann also added a kind of beauty and glamour to our street, with their bonsai Pfitzers, their Lincoln Continentals, and their personal charm and friendliness. Halsell Road is different without them.

Dr. Kattan was on both of my graduate committees. I remember being invited into the Kattan home for a couple of Thanksgiving dinners while I was a student. I enjoyed getting to know both of your parents.
