Öncel Tuncay

One of legendary Galatasaray teachers died few days ago. Tuna Kiremitci [123] wrote this in Tempo magazine [in Turkish]:
Öncel Hoca öldü...

We had Öncel Tuncay as our 'Turkish language instructor' at 7th and 8th grade. All I know about Turkish, I learned from him :) Belive it or not, I still hear him correcting my mistakes (grammar errors, using old Arabic words instead of their Turkish counterparts, etc.).
