We received information from Linda Babikian about the July 19, 2017, passing of Joe Hoplamazian.
From Linda: Joe Hoplamazian didn't graduate from UDHS but did attend several of our class reunions because he knew people from his elementary school days. Those may want to know of his passing.
The Viewing will be held on Sunday, July 23 from 6:30-9:00 p.m., and again Monday, July 24 from 10:00-11:00 a.m. Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 24. Viewing and funeral services will be at St. Sahag & St. Mesrob Armenian Apostolic Church, 630 Clothier Road, Wynnewood, PA. Interment will follow at Arlington Cemetery.

Joe represented all that was good. He was friendly, scholarly, hard-working and tolereant. I think Joe and I were best friends until he moved to Marple-Newtown. We stayed in contact during college (I continued to work at his family's florist on City Line Ave. during the holidays) and our last conversation was only a few months before he died. His death came as a great shock to me. I wish his family peace in the knowledge that his life was well-lived and leaves those who knew him with a great example. I have some funny stories about him playing football in 9th grade and a bully picking a fight against him but I will save those stories for a time that is full of liquid refreshment.
