Ergun Baharoglu, 92, of Kent, Ohio, passed away on Thursday, May 16, 2024, in the comfort of his home, with his family by his side.  Ergun was born in Istanbul, Turkey on May 10, 1932. He immigrated to the United States in 1956 at the age of 24 to obtain his Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Kansas.
