We met Mr. Nalbandian on trip to SF a year ago. We stopped by last weekend to say hello and learned of his passing. Rest In Peace Mr. Nalbandian

My mom and Al telling Armenian stories

Rest in peace dearest Albert xoxoxo

I remember him and in passing over the many years, I talked with him regarding the thoughtful care he provided for his flowers. I

My sympathies to his family.

You will be missed Al. My deepest condolences to Aida and Louise.

a true gentleman ... a San Francisco legend. Mr. Nalbandian would present me with a flower to pin to my coat when I passed his stand at Union Square and said hello. I met him through another true gentleman, Mr. Adrian Laver. He will be missed.
