Thank uou for writing such axwonderful article about Al. He is a wonderful human beiing! God bless on reaching 100 years.
Al is such a wonderful person, and I know that I am very fortunate to be able to have dinner every Monday with him. I often tell him that I want to be like him when I grow up (I’ll be 90 in June 2023). He is a very special person.
Bonjour J’ai trouvé le nom et des photographies de Albert KACHADURIAN dans les archives familiales chez ma cousine Marie AÏDINIAN (décédée en 2002 )demeurant à Clermont Ferrand en FRANCE -on y voit un militaire en tenue d’officier de la Navy ainsi qu’un article de journal-Les courriers datent des années 1946 -1947 -ils sont écrits en arménien -les courriers proviennent du 505 MARKET St -Paterson N.J . Est il possible de connaitre le lien de parenté entre Mr Albert KACHADURIAN et Marie AÏDINIAN -je ne veux pas être indiscret mais cela contribuerai à l’écriture de l’Histoire de la Famille AÏDINIAN sur laquelle je me penche depuis plusieurs mois -Merci d’avance pour votre compréhension -Amitiés -je demeure en France près de Paris –
I live at Cedar Crest in Pompton Plains NJ. I first Met Al at Cedar Crest in May 2014. However, as a teenager, I was in awe of his Eastside High School Football achievements. I graduated from Eastside in June 1949, 8 years after Al graduated, and share May 12, with Al as our birthday. Al is a wonderful, warm-hearted man who sincerely cares about others and for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration. It has been my honor to know him and to call him “a very special friend” and a great leader.
