Wake View: 10:00 AM | Funeral Service: 11:00 AM

Interment will follow immediately after the funeral at the Memorial Cemetery, located at 380 NE 6th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441.

Upon the request of the family, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. David Armenian Church or Camp Haiastan.

May he rest in peace. Աստուած Հոգին Լուսաւորէ
