Dr. Janoian’s passing, like his life, has been very impactful in our Community. The family has received an outpouring of sympathy from all around the world. We’ve been overwhelmed with your messages of love and support. So many of you have asked how you may honor the memory of this extraordinary man who has touched so many hearts. Against the unfortunate backdrop of this global pandemic, memorial services are required to be restrictively intimate, leaving so many of Dr. Janoian’s extended family members, friends, colleagues, and the community at large, asking how they might partake in their departed friend’s memorial or show their regards to the family. This pandemic has tragically limited the ways the community can meaningfully honor Dr. Janoian’s memory.
We have decided to create a charitable memorial fund, in lieu of flowers, for those of you who have expressed your desire to send flowers or make a donation in Dr. Janoian’s memory. As we mourn our beloved Dr. Janoian, and seek out ways to honor his memory, and indeed participate in maintaining his brilliant legacy, we suggest that you may consider making your donation, in lieu of flowers, to the charitable memorial fund, Noobar ara… Fund and have a participation in making one of Dr. Janoian’s dreams come to fuition. Please use the link below to learn more about Noobar ara… Fund.
We optimistically await a day in the near future where we may ALL gather to celebrate our beloved Dr. Janoian’s life.
