The Passing of Arlene Mooradian

We are deeply saddened to learn the news of the passing of our beloved club member and Financial Secretary, Arlene Mooradian, who passed away the morning of Tuesday, April 6, 2021. Arlene led a full and active life with great spirit and zest for life until the last moment. She reached her 90th birthday four days before she passed away.

In the words of her Grandchild Daniel Mooradian: “To the very last day of her life, she fought to the very end. So many wonderful memories that will flood my heart. She will be remembered for her charming sense of humor, resilient attitude, and generosity. I have the utmost faith her spirit lives on to watch over her family that she loved dearly thank you for everything Grandma. I love you.”

Frank Padavan: 1934-2018 – Husband, Father, Statesman

By James A. Trent

Former New York State Senator Frank Padavan has left us at age 83. For 38 years, he represented eastern Queens (and for 10 years northwest Nassau) as State Senator. Even his political opponents recognize that Frank’s legacy in the Senate is one of the most exemplary in the State’s long history.

This photo was once displayed in Frank’s office. It’s undated but probably from around 1982. Frank is in center. To the right is Republican Assemblyman Doug Prescott (26th A.D.), and far right, James Trent. Picture was taken at the Farm Museum’s Agricultural Fair. (Author’s collection)
