I have a few fond memories of Cyrus. He was a man of the world and had a wide array of experiences, a quality that he shared with his beautiful daughter Laura.
I think my favorite memory was one day in New York City we had agreed to meet for lunch at an Indian restaurant. We sat down, he Laura, Ruth and myself and he noted on the menu that they had Mango Chutney. This clearly struck a chord with him because he started expounding on the merits of Mango Chutney and how he loved it, how it was made and the spices contained there in. When the food was served he requested more Mango Chutney on the side and then every time the waitstaff passed by he requested “a little more Mango Chutney” and more until finally asking them to leave the bottle. Which they did!
He seemed delighted and you couldn’t help but admire his tenacity and obvious joy in it. I still fondly remember and think about this to this day. Cyrus, you were an amazing man and I hope you have the peace you deserve.
