I just learned of Mike's passing. I have been Mike's neighbor at North Hills Condominiums since the early 2000s. We have had some very interesting and lively discussions over the years, about history and politics. He was very intelligent and well informed. He also was very gracious to help when needed. He has and will be missed. My condolences to the family.

Prayers and blessings to the Derderian family at the sudden passing of Mike. The Sts. Vartanantz family also lost a wonderful member who consistently led by example in dedicating himself to causes higher than himself. Our love and support is with all of you.
