Peter Terdjanian

Peter Bedros Terdjanian, 85, of New Britain, CT, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on April 9, 2019.

He was born as the son of two genocide survivors Hougas and Anna Terdjanian on July 30, 1933 in Malatya, Turkey. He moved to the U.S. with his family in 1975 with only the shirt on his back. He worked as a machinist for Fafnir for years until his hard work lead to the opening of his own tailor shop with his wife Mariam. Peter loved going to the ocean and fishing. He was as gentle as he was strong. Those lucky enough to have known him, got to see how kind and selfless he truly was. His journey in life involved helping and improving others lives.

He is survived by his wife Mariam, his sister Manusak, his daughter Sonia, his sons Serop and Harry, his grandson Ryan, his nieces Sylvia Simonian, Silva and Juliet Terdjanian, and great nieces Megan and Lauren.

The services will take place at the Armenian Church of Holy Resurrection (1910 Stanley Street, New Britain, CT) on April 12 at 10:00am.
