Oz’s father was 93-year old when he passed away. The day after his passing, the television host shared another photo of his father where he was seen smiling while bundled up in a jacket and scarf.

Oz captioned the post:

"Dad, we are all the shoulder of the serpentine obstacle course that you weathered for over 93 years so you take the straight and wide boulevard to heaven that you earned for every minute of your hard-fought life. Enjoy the sweet journey while we earn your respect by fighting the battles that mattered to you."

Oz's daughter, Daphne Oz, also mourned the death of her grandfather on social media. She shared a black-and-white throwback photo of her grandparents with her father as a baby calling her grandfather "a brilliant surgeon, filled with the most relentless work ethic and pursuit of perfection."

Daphne paid tribute to him by adding:

“He loved to tell the story of when he came to America after completing medical school as a lifelong scholarship student in Turkey and his mother told the pilot to ‘fly slow and low to the ground!' He was funny, fearless, tough, and the best bazaar bargainer. We will miss you, Buyuk Baba."
