“Huggy’s” obituary reflects so well the profile of a Nationalistic who was, and will remain, a Man of Granite in so many ways. His contributions were countless—his legacy will live on.
Andrew was the consummate small Armenian community volunteer.
His love of nation and church was second to none.
He raised, instilled nationalistic pride, and presided over a family that serves the Armenian community so well, in so many ways. That is a tribute to his sense of family and community. His legacy lives through his family.
Our sympathy to the Hagopian family and an enormous appreciation for Andrew’s many years of devotion and achievement.
The man was special.
. Mr. Hagopian was a pillar of the community and dedicated patriot. He was also the patriarch of generations of children and grandchildren in service to the community. This is a value that he embraced and gifted to his family. His legacy lives through this fine Armenian family. May God bless his soul. Asdvatz Hokin Louysavoreh.
God Bless this amazing and outstanding man! What a great Armenian to look up to! So sorry for the family’s loss. I would be interested to hear the story of his parents and grandparents of their escape from the Genocide and how they raised such an outstanding citizen. Amen.
God bless his soul. Armenia lost a good Armenian.
