SH MEMORIAL EVENT SERIES
THE STEFAN HAKAKIAN MEMORIAL EVENT SERIES
One of the many gifts Stefan has shared with us is his passion for experiences and the near science behind creating them.

Hi Ben, We’ve updated the event. Best! Erika

Stefan was a warm friend at times I felt alone. A friend in need and companion with a smile, laugh, and encouragement however hard times were. Tried to draw me into projects and events when I was down. Tried to give me his cat(in jest) when he was being problematic(as I had experience). Was a dear friend to help me make peace when my ex and I were having hard times and an encouraging voice when we were back together years later. I wish I had more time with you, I thought with your successes re-uniting with family (where I couldn’t), finding professional accomplishment and creative expression as well as consistent love abounding, you would be a friend for years to come. We will always miss you as a central figure of ‘our’ family. Travel Safe
