As has been our practice for the past 60 plus years, I prepared an email describing our events for the past year while waiting for the Christmas card from Ken and Pat. When the email was returned as undeliverable I searched the Internet and discovered the painful news. Pat, I know you've had a great life with Kennie (as you know I was the only person allowed to call him that) and I can reminiscence and recall all the great times we've had together, first in France, then in Alaska, then the northeast and of course out here in the west skiing. I have great stories I can share with the family some day but for now don't grieve but rather enjoy your wonderful memories of your lives together. I certainly will. Hugs, Matt and Wendy.

My deepest condolences to The Nanian Family.
Once retired from practicing medicine, Dr. Nanian joined my office as a medical consultant for disability cases. He was always pleasant, and clearly knowledgeable. He also shared an excellent blueberry pie for office celebrations! A kind man, who will be missed.

Pat and family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time. We just heard about Ken's passing today from our son. We are out of state right now or we would have certainly attended today. I have fond memories of Ken, who hired me for my first job after graduating from Katherine Gibbs school. He was wonderful to work for and very patient as I learned the various medical terms of the his practice.
My husband was Ken's patient at a later time for many years, and was always so happy with the great care he was given.
With Sympathy,
Peggy and Howard Hague

Dr.Nanian was a household name growing up. He and my uncle, Ira Anjoorian went to school together and then practiced in the field of medicine when doctors made house calls!! Dr. Nanian and his wife Pat were always loyal supporters of Boy Scout Troop 2, East Greenwich, and The Boy's Home Association. You will be missed and ALWAYS be remembered fondly.
