Sandra, Rachelle and Families;
The biggest testament to a great man is found in the legacy he left behind. You are all his legacy. Beautiful and kind, wonderful ladies journeying through this world as blessings from your father.

A love story that will never end, like a string from our Lord's cloth; Kaiser made it clear to me in the time we spent together that his family was the most important above all else. He said, "I would do whatever it takes to make my girls happy."

He was a fabulous husband, father and grandpa. A man filled with love, compassion and integrity every minute while he was of this world. 

I feel blessed to have known him. Though resistant at times during home decorating re-design, he always trusted me and agreed the decisions were right once he adjusted.   

Such is life's journey, we survive through change and with time the cloth of Kaiser will forever warm you and make you smile.
Blessings and love in memory of Kaiser.

Kaiser … There was never a time where you didn’t greet me with the biggest of smiles. 
No matter what was going on, you always had a story and the most incredible outlook on life. You were Sandy’s rock growing up. You were always there with a story – and maybe sometimes a little debate – but could do so with grace. You raised two incredible women who hold family as important as you did. 

Thank you for welcoming me in to be part of your family. And thank you for all the love you gave me. You will always be in my heart.


Grandpa,

Thank you for being such an amazing, fun, loving person. I will never forget the deep talks we've had and the life advice every time I see you. It may be awhile, but I know Trevor and I will be able to spike your hair up again one day. Thank you for looking over the entire family and teaching me to always be loving and generous. I miss your smile and your presence. Rest easy up there with grandma, your family, and finally your brother George. 

I love you, 
Tyler Smerz

Kaiser and Marguerite were wonderful people who I met when my son married there daughter.  They welcomed me into there home and family like I had known them all my life.  I didn't get to visit very often but when I did I was always included in dinners and parties which were so much fun.  They will be missed but always remembered in my heart.    Lov Pat Fazio

Dearest Kaiser and  Marguerite , 
What a beautiful love story. You  raised beautiful, smart , independent, hard working women , who in turn with great husbands raised strong, beautiful, smart men (and little woman).  Marguerite that fiery laugh and social butterflyness is my favorite part of not only you but Rachelle. And Kaiser , your kind, sensitive, sweet heart was also passed right on down to your children and grand children. I know how proud you were of your close knit family. You and Marguerite can Rest In Peace knowing that your legacy will live on. 

Ah, the memories of all those breakfasts and the stories that came with them (plus a few crumbs and stains too ... !!!).  That picture of us plays out in my head dozens of times ... there was NEVER a meal you missed and I wish everyone ate life up like you did Pops.

The world lost an honest, caring, forthright man in you.  There was not a day that went by you did not share in making someone smile. You sure knew how to make people happy in your space.

I am grateful my daughter had 11 years with you ... we miss the songs already. Not sure if any grandfather cared about his grandkids more than you did.  You raised two incredible daughters and the fruit did not fall far from the tree ... right down to Vasari.  Each grandkid carries a special kindness that came from both you and momma. For this, I am so incredibly thankful.

While your life was filled with its own heartaches, you always had a positive story, a positive view ... well, outside of politics ;) ..., and a positive attitude.  You accepted the life you were given and lived life. I know this is where the world-famous Pops quote comes from ... LIVE. YOUR. LIFE.

In your honor, I will always LIVE MY LIFE and cherish the times we had together.  Thanks for the memories and I'll catch up with you someday in the afterlife.  Love you Pops, miss ya, and I promise I will take care of what you cherished most in life ... FAMILY!!!

We just want to say that Kaiser was and always will be so special to Jim and me, as well as the entire Fourounjian Family.  He made a difference in our lives and his love and friendship was precious to us.  He will always be in our thoughts and prayers.   With love always.

Grandpa,

Thank you soooo much for all the unconditional love and support you and grandma would show. I am so blessed to have my childhood with you and be so close in distance to you in my early years to create unforgettable memories. I’ll miss your hard lips always kissing my cheeks and your smile, your smile was the best grandpa. I’ll forever love and miss you. 

-Trevi

Dear Rachelle and family, 
Words don't seem adequate to express the tremendous loss you've all enduring losing mom and dad but I know you're at peace knowing that mom and dad are eternally together. Your dad certainly was one of a kind and he surely lived his life to the fullest. Kaiser showed our family so much love and kindness and I knew every time we saw dad at a party or celebration he was always going to greet us with his giant smile and hug. He had such a positive outlook and the kindness he exuded was infectious and lit up the room. He always eagerly listened and asked how we were doing and genuinely cared about us all like we were family. Your dad was so proud of you and I know he's smiling down on you and Sandy and at peace knowing you all are there for each other. May dad rest in peace with mom. Love, Alicia, Scott and Micah 

Dearest Grandpa, you have been there for me throughout my entire life. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and stars and back. I am so happy that you are now in peace with your loved ones and I will forever miss the times we shared together. Rest in peace, Grandpa. I love you. 

~ Vasari <3

Dad, you were my "main guy" for all the years before I wed - taking after you in my late 30s. We went on so many "dates" to the movies, lunch, breakfast and had THE BEST TALKS! I savored every one of those moments (still so very alive within my soul), where you would tell your stories (over and over) and I never tired of hearing them. You were my Valentine in those years when I had no other. I remember receiving those "Word Power" pages from you through Reader's Digest and you would often say "words are weapons" and who knew, I would be destined to become a "poet" many years later. I know you (and mommas) never really understood just how deep I am in the soul and "where I came from" (laughing) but I know undoubtedly now more than ever -- you and Mommas KNOW unequivocally what that all means now -- that you are dancing in the Halls of Heaven so blissfully, joyfully, painlessly and magnificently upon God's Kingdom. You held the highest in God's faith (as did momma) and knowing that both of you have continued your most blessed magical (unconventional) love story together - only 11 days apart - of transitioning from this earth plane to the Heavens -- brings my soul peace and comfort. There will forever be a void in this physical realm not having you both here any longer to touch, hug, love, talk to, smile and laugh together and share in the deepest and most treasured of conversations -- yet I am beholding every ounce of every memory we shared infinitely upon my own heart and soul. You offered us so much love and guidance, steadiness and strength in all the phases and stages of our life's evolution. We will always remember "who's kids we are" and that we come from "strong stock." Of all that you and mommas traversed your own life (pain and loss), you brought through the highest of LOVE upon our hearts. We will continue to carry on this LEGACY OF LOVE for generations to come and continue to make you and mommas so proud of your girls. WE LOVE & MISS YOU & MOMMAS forever!

This is very hard to find words to completely describe my beloved Godfather.....my own father's best friend...and my Godmother Marguerite who preceded him just eleven short days earlier.  I feel an emptiness in that place in my heart where both have lived since I was born and a kid.  Marguerite came to the US when I was nine years old....and she  was very brave leaving her family for a new life with Kaiser in the USA.  I took to her immediately and the closeness we shared thru her learning process of being a wife, a mom...a house keeper was mostly due to my mother who helped her with this new life of hers.  One of the fondest memories about my crazy funny Godfather....before he was married, we had a house party as we so often did and his mother was upstairs with me.  The Stripper music could be heard from the basement and all of a sudden everyone was laughing and cheering so I had to go downstairs to see what was going on.  There was Kaiser...doing the strip!  I went upstairs and told his mother and  she said...go get him!  He was the life of any party...always funny, loving and caring and I adored everything about him!  Same with my Godmother.  Any of us that know her know her go to meal was Roast Beef which she had become a master of when learning how to cook.  Kaiser was her "babe" and she called him this more than his name.   She was always thoughtful and each and every year come the month of October she had a remembrance for my father at our church St. Sarkis.  I know my Godparents were greeted in heaven by their lost loved ones including my father and my comfort is in knowing that one day I will see them again.   For Rachelle and Sandy...this hurts my heart the worst having to lose both parents together.  I pray you have the strength to carry on and know that they are always with you and watching over you and your families.   I will miss them both dearly....because the love I received from them was always and forever unconditional.  Love...your Suzy Poozie!

Kaiser was such a kind man.  I always looked forward to seeing him in the restaurant. Every time he came,   he always requested me to come by his table.  Kaiser had such a giving heart.  No matter what his worries or troubles were, he never wanted to talk about that, instead he wanted to know how the family, wife, grandchildren…. Were doing.  Such a great man, such a great smile.  Kaiser we will truly miss you.   

Pops! Even though the days of you singing "the pipes, the pipes" oh Danny Boy are over, the memories never will be! My political debates with you were second to none. I did everything in my power to convince you to drop your Democratic roots and come to the ‘dark side’. As hard as I tried, you never budged…always great discussions! 

You were a never-ending source of positivity and joy to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting you. You were the pillar of strength to two beautiful daughters and thankfully had the opportunity to experience three amazing grandchildren brought into this world.

I am proud to be your son-in-law. 
You will be missed.
I love you.

Danny Boy

Dearest daddio , it’s still surreal to believe you have joined our beloved mom so soon after in sweet heaven. I know  God gained two of the most loving and selfless souls that I was  lucky enough to call my parents. Dad , you have always been my constant & steady person who I could lean on for advice in my younger years .  I would always hear your wise words in the back of my head and thought twice hoping not to disappoint you . You were like a father to several of my lifelong friends and I will always have the best memories because of it.
Your  gentle loving honest self helped to shape me in so many ways, and those never ending ‘ teen lectures’ you loved to give , carried on 
to our boys….as they always say ‘ we’ve been served ‘ I feel a lecture 
coming on’  haha😉
We shared the love of eating out and going to the movies . I remember how excited I was when you, mom and I saw ‘Father of the Bride ‘ in the early 90’s wondering who it was I would marry back then and hoping I made you proud ….which I did because you loved Danny boy so much!
 I know the past several years have been very taxing on your frail body with all the surgeries / falls you have endured to keep you going for as long as you could and let me tell you reaching your 90th birthday last year was so wonderful for all your family and friends to witness, you are and have been the strong bull Taurus you were born 
with. I will take  peace knowing you are with your beloved wife/ our mom , brother Georgie, your sweet mama , Uncle Rupo / Aunt Rose
and all the friends that left you along the way. 
I will miss you everyday and forever will be in my heart.
Thank you for being the best dad a girl could ask for, you can rest easy now, I love you ❤️





Kaiser was a gentle loving man who wore his bright sweet smile everywhere he went. I had the pleasure of knowing this kindhearted man, ever since the day I was born. Anyone who came in contact with Kaiser, knows that time shared in conversation with him was robust. I’ll always remember his Michigan accent, his Midwest heart, a little bit of Armenian conversation (as much as he knew I could understand), along with his big hello hug followed by saying, “hi there, darling…” I will hold the fondest memories of Kaiser and Marguerite, close in my heart always. They built a beautiful loving life together….and, a beautiful loving family. Now, it’s time to do one of your favorite things…dance together. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Kaiser and Marguerite were my neighbors for 10 years.   They were always friendly and cordial and happy.  Their love for little children was so heartwarming.   Often, they would sit in their garage with the door open.  When my twin grandsons would see them, they always wanted to go and visit.  Kaiser had an amazing gift of entertaining and holding the attention of these then 5 yr. 
 old little boys.  Quite an achievement!! And Marguerite was simply enamored with these two precocious tykes.  I was blessed to know these two very special individuals who were the epitome of love and devotion to 'marriage' and to each other. And I believe God honored their special love by calling them both "home" within days of each other.   They will both be deeply missed. 

Kaiser an Marguerite, They meant the World to me, almost my entire life, they were like my other parents, they treated me like a daughter, I will never forget all the beautiful memories I have with them, They are one of a kind and no one could top the two most Beautiful people in this world, not to just me but anyone and everyone that had the honor as I did meeting them as a little girl, they will forever hold a special place in my heart and I will miss them dearly as I can hear them call me Sweetheart , I love you Both  with all my heart Love Andrea xo

Whenever we got together, no matter how much time had passed between visits, we would just pick up where we left off. Apar and Marguerite were truly a one-of-a-kind couple. 
I will miss you both. 
Love, Mary

I am, once again, saddened by the news now of the passing of my dearest godfather. I have such fond memories of him from as far back as a child of 3 or 4 when my Apar would come over after I was in bed. As soon as I heard his voice I’d pop out of bed and off I’d go with him and my mom and dad to get Coney Island hot dogs. 
I will miss you, but know that you and Marguerite are together as you would both want to be. Please give my mom, dad, and Bill hugs from me. 
Love always, Mary
