Ara lived with a passion that inspired everyone around him. His intensity in everything he did was a reflection of his love for life and his unwavering commitment. He loved his family deeply. He was a generous person and an exceptional host, who especially enjoyed sharing the flavors of his homeland.  
We hold on to a piece of his culture, which has now become part of us, the memories of his energy and unyielding spirit, and the comfort of knowing he lived life to the fullest, in his own unique way.  
We loved him dearly, and he will remain forever deeply in our hearts.

Ara, Armenian-American, and I, Cuban-American, did not know each other in the 1960s City of New York when we began dating our respective future wives, Argentine-American fraternal twin sisters.   He and I and our respective wives wanted traditional marriages where husband exercised his profession and wife worked at home raising beloved children. Our careers took us to different geographic locations, but the love between twin sisters would bring us together time and time again for holidays and vacations and, ultimately, retirement.  Ara was always most generous with us — a beautiful week-long family invitation to vacation in a Sardinian cottage comes to mind, but also countless delicious middle-eastern banquets meticulously prepared by Ara throughout five blessed decades of other get-togethers, ocasional golf games with our male offsprings and more.  I was also honored when one day during my retirement he called to offer me a position as COO & CFO of a high-tech startup he had identified and raised funds for.   Ara had cultured taste, was always elegantly and smartly dressed for any ocassion and forthcoming with advice and recommendations on just about any topic, but particulary culinary ones.   Ara loved his wife and children, specially his daughter, apple of his eyes.   Until we meet again, dear brother-in-law, to break bread anew around the banquet table of our Lord.   Abrazos (hugs), Efraín
