Very sad news. We have had a tough few weeks with the passing of Armand Keosian and Gabriel Injejikian, two pillars of the Southern California Armenian community. May they rest in peace and may their families take some comfort in knowing they left the community they humbly served better off by their commitment and sacrifices.
May God bless his soul. He dedicated his life to promoting, preserving, and defending the Armenian culture & cause. A great teacher & disciplerian. A Great man.
The current generations despite the best efforts of their forefathers would likely be lost to the Armenian culture and nation without him. He was the modern ‘Khent’ who had an unpopular yet indomitable dream and worked undeterred and tirelessly and to make that dream a reality.
Thank you Baron Injejikian.

Very sad indeed. May he Rest In Peace and May the Almighty give comfort to his wife, family, Ferahian faculty, students and all those who knew him. He was a noble man and a highly devoted educator who believed in his mission and calling.
The Armenian community lost another giant of a man. The two pillars of the community. Mr. Injejikian established what most did not even dream of, i. e. establishing an Armenian High School in the US. His courageous act was followed by others in the years to follow, at the rate of one school per year, as he predicted. A family man, humble, and dedicated to his community. He will be missed.
With sincere sympathies for his wife Rose and his children and grand children.
May he rest in peace.
A respectful and unforgettable gentleman of the Armenian Community. Who didn’t know the 1st principal of the 1st Armenian School established in Los Angeles, CA… It is indeed a sad day for the entire Armenian Community of Los Angeles. He deserves every area of respect and honor. May you rest in peace Kapy jan. Asdvadz hokeen lousavore.
