  1. We will all miss our Fred Simonian! Fred always had a warm smile to share with you, along with a wonderful sense of humor. He was our 2007-2009 Nakhkin Sbarabed (leader) of the Knights of Vartan and we all appreciated his dedication & leadership that continued beyond 2009. Fred was a wonderful inspiration & example to others, especially to other Armenians. I sure am glad that Heaven is for real because we can all have Faith that Fred is there now waiting to welcome us with a big plate of Kheyma when our time comes. Welcome home and God bless you Fred!
