A gentle, warm smile as he greets our friends and families in Aruba, then makes his way to the beautiful waters. May he rest in peace and watch over his loved ones from heaven. Our prayers are with him and family, Anne & Mike Piotrowski
I want to extend my condolences and best wishes to Mr Varoujanian’s family. It is a blessing that he had you and you had him for a long time. I was a customer of Arthur’s for several years and very much appreciated his honest advice and the humor that we shared despite our having very different backgrounds. Steve Robin Leesburg VA
Wonderful gentleman! I live in Leesburg and met him 30 plus years ago when he had his shoe repair business. He told me back then he couldn’t find young people that wanted to learn his business. They didn’t want to work that hard he said. When I go into “Shoes” now, I can still picture him there. Sounds like he really enjoyed his retirement and long life surrounded by his family. Thoughts and prayers for his family. May he Rest In Peace. Jane Ashbaugh
