"MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE"
Bursa State Theater Director Sezai Yılmaz stated, "The greatest feature I know about Emin Gümüşkaya is the young talents he has nurtured for Turkish theater. Especially those he has trained through youth courses have now reached retirement age. If we leave behind two tearful people when we depart from here one day, we are fortunate. Emin Gümüşkaya left many of his loved ones in tears. We actors are always remembered for our funny moments. I say may his soul rest in peace."
"HE LOVED THE SEYYAR TAYYAR CHARACTER VERY MUCH"
General Director of Cinema, producer, and director Birol Güven said, "I met Emin Gümüşkaya in 2010. He was very angry when we first met. He said, 'I always get bad roles, I don't want to play bad roles anymore.' That's why he loved the Seyyar Tayyar character in 'Çocuklar Duymasın' very much. Because he wanted to show his fun side. He also helped a lot with the script. He really made us laugh a lot," he expressed.
"I LEARNED THIS PROFESSION FROM HIM"
Actor Ertuğrul Akkök stated, "I learned many things from him. Emin Gümüşkaya was a very serious person during rehearsals. We spent rehearsals trying to learn something with all our effort. At the end of each rehearsal, he would make a joke and conclude with that famous smile we all know. Thanks to him, I learned this profession," he said.
Gümüşkaya served as the Director of Bursa Ahmet Vefik Paşa State Theater from 1996-1998 and 1999-2001, and he retired from the State Theaters in 2002.
