Sam Paregian

Sam was a friend and also a client of my husband's and our granddaughter Jessie was a patient of Sam's. He was a most interesting and brilliant man. We had the joy one year of taking a trip to Alaska with Sam and many of his Fresno friends. He is remembered fondly. My condolences to his family.

I met Sam 60 yeas ago when I was working for Dr Shearn & Harrigfeld in McHenry Village. He was a truly gifted orthodontist and he did see my daughter as a patient. He routinely stoppped by ton chat and in later years more conversations were regarding grapes than teeth as he lived very close to John and was a farmer first. I always enjoyed Sam and he was a great orthodontist.

My father, Dr. Clarence Duke, was a long-time friend of Dr. Paregian, and his dental office was in the complex in McHenry Village. I remember my dad speaking highly of him and they shared not only their professions together but also a love for wine. Your family was blessed having him for so many years! May his memory be eternal.

Sherrie and your whole beautiful family. My memories of your dad are of kind and and caring. Im so sorry for your loss. My moms passing has been recent and its a sad time. My prayers and love will be with you all. God Bless you always!

Keely, my condolences regarding your Dad´s passing. Losing a parent is difficult. My prayers to you and your family.

Great people leave an impact and lasting impressions in a short time. Although God granted us little time to get to know each other, we know He had a purpose for that encounter. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person whom I will always remember and from whom I learned many professional and personal lessons. May God keep him; we'll meet again later, my friend. My respects to his entire family. Federico

Sam a long time friend. We shared a professional but most often talked about wine . Rest in peace!

There are hardly words for how much Dr Sam is missed his faith was strong enough to comfort everyone that loved him

I met Sam though working as his Agricultual Pest Control Advisor. Working with Sam was a learning experience in itself. The man didn't seem to ever sleep. He was going from dawn to dusk and then some, he always was looking for a way to do things a better way. I now live in Tennessee and won't be able to make it to Fresno for his going away party, I'm sure that's how he would look at it, so I say good bye my friend. I hope to see you again one day. Always a friend, Jim Alfieri.
