Mr. Hulki
I wish I could say more big brother.
When I first met you at GM, I stared for 2 minute like looking at a legend. What you did was legendary for someone like me in the spring of your engineering life.
How can I forget that you guide me at GM and lead me through effectively relations.
You are a legend. Automobile in Turkey in did not know you knew in.
Sleep in the lights and be a star to those like me in the sky what you do.
Yours truly
with longings

Bless your family and your lives. You were touched by this man, a visionary for sure. Most of us look to him as the father of the Fiero which we all love and cherish, but it is important that we look to the human side as well as his humanity.
I hope your family is getting along, learning to live with this hole in your hearts. Hopefully he is up there waiting for you; preparing the way for you and your family to join him. I pray and think of you all in your grief and feeling of missing him. Many are doing the same thing here, so do not feel alone for comfort is all around you and your family members. God bless you all!

Dear Leyla and Seba,
Your dad was one of a kind. I meet him many years ago and he was a major part of my growing up and I always considered him a true friend and my mentor. I learned a lot from your father and feel very lucky to have known him and the rest of the family. Your dad was a good man and will be missed. I'm so sorry for you loss.

My condolences to his family. I never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Aldikacti personally, but like many others I am a fan of the Fiero. I understand that he was the guest of honour at several car shows featuring the Fiero, and was a very gracious man and well loved by the Fiero community. I have recently thought of trying to attend an event where I could meet him, but sadly this won't happen.
Again, my condolences to the family, from everything I have read and heard about him you have lost a great man.

My husband, a fellow and former PMD engineer with your Dad, always spoke highly of him. He certainly left a great legacy for Pontiac automobile enthusiasts, something of which you can be very proud. Love and prayers.

I met Hulki at the 25th Anniversary of the Fiero show. He was very gracious, and the comments and questions he had about my pro street GT will stay with me forever. While he'll always be remembered for the Fiero, he should also be remembered as the man that created so many friendships. Without him we wouldn't have Fiero clubs and community meetings, or friends around the world. His dream and love for the Fiero has brought us together, and for that I am truly grateful. Thanks for the memories!

The staff and directors of the Pontiac-Oakland Club International send our sincerest condolences to the family of Hulki Aldikacti. He is revered in the Pontiac hobby and his memory will live on in the cars he was instrumental in bringing to market.
One a personal note, Mr. Aldikacti was very gracious and helpful in the preparation of the history of the Pontiac Fiero that I wrote for High Performance Pontiac in 1992. He shared his insight and experiences with me and was very gracious throughout the process. He will be missed...

Hulki Aldikacti was a person that possessed outstanding engineering
skills, while being an extraordinary leader at the same time.
Hulki's ability to used the Lateral Thinking process, enabled him to
circumvent the Vertical Thinking of GM Management, to get the right product into production.
Hulki was the Chief Engineer of the Pontiac Fiero, and the car became one of his major achievements. And he will be forever remembered as the Father of the Fiero.
We were glad that Jan and myself along with four of Hulki's closest friends, had dinner and a chance to talk with Hulki just two week ago. Hulki's stories and experiences were most entertaining.
Hulki will be surely missed by all of his friends because he was a great person. Rest in Peace, my friend.

A great light has gone out in the automotive world. Your genius gave the world many things, but none quite so precious to me as the wonderful passion known as Fiero...

A most heartfelt thank you to you and yours, Mr. Hulki Aldikacti, for your work in designing and bringing the Pontiac Fiero to reality. My life and my 5 boys' lives have been enriched as a result of your dedication, design and hardwork on the Fiero. I plan to have one for each of my boys as they get older and are able to "Drive Excitement". Rest assured we will continue the legacy of your design, passion and the dream that is encompassed in the first rear wheel drive mid-engine sports car. Thanks for making history and for not being afraid of the naysayers!

I want to pass along my deepest condolences to the family of Hulki Aldikacti. I was a late comer to Pontiac Motors, but in the time before we became CPC, I had the pleasure of working with Hulki. I really enjoyed all his stories and not only was he fun to be with, but he was an engineer of great knowledge. I'm sure that all of us that worked at Pontiac Motors will miss this wonderful man. God bless you Hulki and may you rest in peace.
