Arpineh, I'm so sorry for your loss. A dear and good man who will be missed by so many. He taught me a new way to enjoy one of my favourite vegetables, cauliflower, which is his personal legacy to me.

I hope you find comfort in your many memories and your close family will ease the pain; nothing hurts quite like the loss of your last surviving parent.

My thoughts are with you, Chris, Zachary and Jake, and the rest of your family at this time of sorrow.

fondest wishes,
Tess

George and Kate,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time. George, I never met your father, but I'm sure he was a great man because he certainly raised a great son.
Love and prayers,
The Favorito Family

I'll always remember "Mr Yessayan" as a good husband and father to his kids. A very kind and hard working man. If more people were like him, the world would truly be a better place. He always had a smiling face (even when I woke him up at 4:30 am to get Ara to go caddying). Take a look at any one of his kids and you see all of the same qualities in them. As his very young neighbor, I remember when he came to the United States. Like many of us, his family did not have a whole lot, but what he had he always shared with me and my family. Some of that Armenian food was a bit hard to take for this Irish kid from the inner city, but that's a different story. He worked hard to create his American dream. Nerses, you will be missed by many, but fond memories will carry all of us through this sad time.
