I don't know you. It is likely we will never meet. However, the story of the struggle of your family has deeply moved me. I am truly sorry for your loss.
I lost a very good friend in the same way bairly three years ago. It still hurts.
I am so sorry to hear about Yoram. I did not know him well, but did have the pleasure of seeing him occasionally in Paint Branch Park. I hope you all can find some comfort in the thought that I and I'm sure many, many others care and are thinking of you all.

ein milim...no words can describe the sadness and loss we feel here--a fraction of what you surely feel...
Even those who knew Yoram not so well--in our case, despite family relations-- could not help but fall in love with his spirit. His kindness, gentleness, humility, humor, and a deep pride in his family, coupled with his impressive and contagious intellectual character--created a kind of rare aura around him.
In the past few days I have reflected on how my relationship with your father/husband started when I was 12 years old, during a period when I babysat for you--Nadav and Dafi. What stands out the most for me is how Yoram immediately took notice of my interest in child development and did not hesitate to give me a theoretical book on the subject--certain of my intellectual capacity. That act of grace and generosity is perhaps the beginning of my own long and meandering study of human behavior, creativity and learning. In fact, Yoram's tenacious interest in people and his deep and effortless commitment to engaging in a meaningful way with everyone--has been an inspiration ever since.
In retrospect, I am certain that my visits with your family, and my conversations with Yoram--have been for me an affirmation of life and humanity at its best.
Jean, Nadav, Daphne, Amy, and Yoram’s other family members:
We will miss our dear friend and colleague Yoram forever. He has profound influence on the fire and smoke research at the Forest Service. Our group has the privilege working with Yoram on many biomass burning experiments in Brazil in the1990s. In the beginning of the new millennium, Yoram has inspired us to use real-time MODIS data for detecting fires and smoke, which has become routine operation at our agency and in other countries. We value every moment we had together in almost two decades.
Yoram often talked about his children and their accomplishments. He was a very proud Dad and has left a legacy of a wonderful loving family.
Yoram, thanks a lot for the warm friendship and inspiration. Goodbye!
I am unknown to the family, but I was your father's intern last summer. I found out yesterday morning about the tragedy, and kept come back checking all day hoping that maybe there would be some miracle of good news...Your father was an amazing man.
When my fellow interns and I were trying to pick our projects, he couldn't be there and Lorraine presented his project for him. The idea of working with aerosols was not really on the top of my list of things I wanted to do for the summer, but the way Lorraine described your father as a charismatic, initiative, and intelligent man changed my mind. I learned a lot from him as I am sure many more before me have. He was respected by all and always had a smile on his face. He is a great lose and will be sorely missed.
I wish you all the best making it through this tragic time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
I just read your story of the past few days. I'm very touched by the emotion and candor with which your family met Yoram's final days. I lost my wife over a year and a half ago, after just one week in the hospital. I know a little of what you are going through, and my daughter (eight years old at the time, ten years now) does too.
I'm very sorry for you loss. May you all find peace. It will come with time, trust me.
Although I have did not know Yoram, and have met Daphne and Dror only a few times while they were getting aquainted with Philadelphia, I do know that he would have been incredibly proud of his daughter and son in law. It seems clear to me that they are destined, as he was, to make an important and lasting contribution to the world around them. I know that if they were my children, I would feel that way about them. I am so sorry for your loss. May his memory serve as a blessing.

Life is magnificent,
Life is fragile,
Life can stop suddenly,
Life can last ...
Being strong because of love,
Being strong because of belief.
--- Remembering Yoram Kaufman from a junior GSFC colleague who only saw him once.
Although I have did not know Yoram, and have met Daphne and Dror only a few times while they were getting aquainted with Philadelphia, I do know that he would have been incredibly proud of his daughter and son in law. It seems clear to me that they are destined, as he was, to make an important and lasting contribution to the world around them. I know that if they were my children, I would feel that way about them.
