Sarkis Khazarian was one of a kind. He was kind, generous, honest, and so many more things words can not desccribe. I loved him like a father. I shall miss his smile and warmth. God now has a new angel. I will NEVER forget him in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of knowing Sarky and Terry Khazarian from when I was a little boy. My father, Fred Wirth, and I used to take care of his lawn and shovel their snow in the winter, and I worked at Stonybrook Pharmacy as my first job. There are no nicer people than Terry and Sark, and I send my heartfelt condolences to Terry, Sark, and Roxanne for your loss. He will truly be missed, and I will always have fond memories of him.
