Harry K. Narcisian

Gosh, I did not know of Mr. Narcisian's passing until I just now visited our high school web page. I am so very sorry. I can see him in my mind's eye and I agree with everything Callie said earlier. He was one of my favorite teachers as well. I loved math, and though geometry was a little more difficult, he was always willing to guide you through a problem. Those are all special memories. God bless you all.

My heartfelt sympathy to Harry's family and dear friends, especially his brother, Frank. I had lunch regularly with Harry and "the boys" over the years at Vinnola's, and will never forget the kindness that Harry and his friends showed to me every time they saw me. We talked about CU (and OU!) football, work, and a variety of other topics. Harry and his friends teased me lovingly, and were alway a great encouragement to me. He is remembered fondly.

My sympathy and condolences go out to Mr. Narcisian's friends and family. At my age I don't remember many of my high school teachers but I will always remember my great geometry teacher and the patience he had with me since I had absolutley no natural ability in that course. He was a huge inspiration to me and I did make it through the course. I remember his desk drawer and the way his pencils were lined up by length. His desk was always immaculate as was his classroom. He dressed like GQ Man...

My Dad was an exceptional man. Very private, family-oriented, curious, charming, intelligent and generous. Not to mention an amazing athlete. I heard one of his friends say he was a role model on how to live every aspect of your life successfully. What a tribute! He has such wonderful, dedicated friends. Our family is extremely grateful for all your support, love and cherished stories. You've supported our loss with so many blessings.

We at CU were all saddened to hear about the sudden passing of Harry. He was a true Buffalo, and attended most, if not every, C-Club function I was ever present at.

I researched Harry's football career at CU, and here's what I came up with:

Football letterman Harry Narcisian was one of CU’s first real stars when Colorado jumped from the Mountain States Conference into the Big Seven after World War II. He lettered three times in football between 1947 and 1949, and also...

I was so saddened to hear about Harry's passing. I just saw Harry on Friday when he came into the bank. I introduced him to the bank's president as my "favorite customer" and he was. I will truly miss his warm smiling face coming into the bank. May God comfort his family during this difficult time. If I can be of any help, please let me know.

The Master, Wardens and Brethren of Arvada Lodge No 130, AF & AM express our most heartfelt sympathy at the passing of our beloved Brother Harry Narcisian.

May the Grand Architect of the Universe welcome him into the Celestial Lodge above.

Although I heard Dad (Ross Chivers) talk about Harry, I didn't meet him until the mid- to late '90's. What a great guy -- so easy to love and be loved by him. He was kind and fatherly (in his boisterous kind of way) after Dad died, and I will always remember him that way. God bless you all with peace and comfort over the next few weeks and months.

Aloha,
My wife and I just loved Harry, meeting him through my Dad who passed away not too long ago.
Harry was the one standing in the bow of the little rowboat scattering some of Dad`s ashes at the "Chivers Memorial Fishing Hole". We were sure he was going to fall in.
Dad could never remember the type of cucumbers he had planted in his garden. He would say, "now what is Harry again? Oh yeah, Armenian."
Our condolensces,
J & Laurie Chivers
