Professor Haig Khatchadourian was a much respected faculty member at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; his many scholarly contributions helped to burnish its national and international reputation to the peak it has reached in recent years. I express my condolences to his loved ones who can take pride in his achievements.

Sonia,

I met your dad about 2 years ago to possibly help with a paper and you also invited me to a Christmas get-together at his house in 2014. So my meeting with him was brief, but he was memorable. I know you were so good to him. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so grateful to have met Haig, talked at the dinner table with him, danced at a wedding with him. He encouraged me to be my full loving self in a way only a uncle-philosopher-poet could. To walk just a short distance with him was a tremendous gift. My love to his family, and to his friends and colleagues.

Dear Abie and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God Bless you. Comfort and peace to you.
