The Passing of Gregory Arakelian, Our Pontiac 'Aharonian' AYF ...
We knew he had been battling cancer for a long time, but when Edward Haroutunian alerted me at the end of July that Gregory Arakelian’s health was rapidly declining, I wrote all of our AYF friends’ names on a card and mailed it to him, so he would know we would never forget him, nor all the enjoyment we derived from each other.
My phone call to him a few days later confirmed that a weakened Greg, 70, fondly remembered our days in the AYF, too. Arakelian had also received phone calls from Ed Haroutunian, Judy (Haroutunian) Mead in Calgary, Calif., Charles Meledosian, and Sharon Maraian. Sharon had given a lavish reunion party at her home last year when Greg and all of us relived the old days with relish.
Even so, we were stunned and grief stricken when the news of his death arrived on Aug. 20. I “heard” it in every e-mail and phone call. We had also in recent years lost Arthur Azoian, Geraldine Kevorkian, and Virginia Hagopian, and were not prepared to lose another unger .
As Haroutunian and Meledosian indicated, Greg commanded a special respect. “Many of us took our cues from Greg,” Haroutunian said. “He was a person with very sound judgment. We were young and naive. The boys looked to him on how to handle themselves with others. He would drive a car load of kids to Detroit to join the ‘Mourad-Zavarian’ and ‘Christopher’ Chapters for socials. We could count on Greg.”
Meledosian said, “I remember Greg and I would go to Highland Park to buy the gum for the machines we had in businesses to earn money for the club. My parents urged me to join the AYF and I did so because I knew Greg. We double-dated and he drove because I was still too young to drive.”
We loved Greg. He was fun and funny. He rode us around on his motorbike and was a steadying element during AYF meetings. He was a quiet leader everyone respected. He had a habit of creating laughable moments during meetings, and I, as president, would have to pull in the reins.
