Not sure what to say?

My sincerest condolences to the daughter and sons of Professor Khatchadourian during this time of great sorrow. I am grateful that I'd had an opportunity to meet and visit with your father. He was kind and welcoming to me and it was a true pleasure to converse with him. I feel the pain of your loss. I am very sorry.

Knowing Haig and Arpine' has been one of the dearest blessings of my life. My heart and prayers go out to the family. Your Dad was a sweet, wise soul whose kindness and love were extended to so many. Our family was certainly blessed and I will always smile upon memories of Haig and his quick wit, brilliant insights, and tender heart.
Much love and prayers,
Susan Hendriksen Corwin

My prayers and deepest sadness go out to his children and family. Professor K. : a wonderful man and teacher. Truly a joy to spend time with him and share his joy in living.

I am so very sorry to hear of this. I truly enjoyed talking with your Father every time I got to over the many years. I'll miss his gentle smile.

Hi Abie and Sue.

While I did not know your father, I know he meant so much in your life. May the comfort he brought to you during his life continue on in your memories.

In Sympathy.

Susan

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.

Dear Sonia and family,

We were so sorry to hear this news. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

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.
