Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write a few words about my dear friend David Markarian.
For the very short time I spent with David on the Kandi Cruise, I immediately felt at ease in the presence of this gentleman.
His gentle, friendly nature, wit and his verbal agility impressed me most.
I also get the opportunity to appreciate David’s artistic photographic talents looking at the most beautiful pictures he took on the ship.
Indeed a person of trust, intelligence and honesty.
Sincerely and Respectfully
Dr. Turi
