This education allowed Vahe to build a successful career, working as a senior Quality Control Engineer for companies such as Digital Equipment Corporation, Compaq and Hewlett-Packard before retiring in 2012. 

Always wanting to stay active and healthy, Vahe was just as happy traveling the world as he was doing work around his home in Cumberland, RI. He was a devoted father and a dear friend. Those he loved, he loved with every fiber of his being.
