Grigory Nersesyan

Grigory, or Grisha to his family and friends, was born on July 29, 1948, in Sverdlovsk, USSR, the son of Michael and Nelly (Akkerman) Nersesyan. He graduated from the interpreting department of The Moscow State Linguistic University (formerly known as The Maurice Thorez Institute of Foreign Languages) and continued to have a successful career, first, as an interpreter and, later on, as a copyright lawyer, theater producer, and entrepreneur. He loved the arts and was a huge soccer, hockey, tennis, and snooker fan. More than anything else in the world, however, he loved his family and friends. He had a huge heart and an incredibly generous spirit, and helped so many people throughout his lifetime.

Grigory is survived by his wife Marina; children Nelly Nersesyan of Waterford and Kirill Nersesyan and his wife Svetlana Plakhotnik of Moscow, Russia; his sister Tatiana Belyanskaya, also of Moscow; grandchildren Anna Nersesyan, Yana Abramova and Grisha Abramov; niece Elena Belyanskaya and her husband Michael Koltsov; nephew Michael Belyansky and his wife Karina Kaspariiants; great-niece Sofia Belyansky and great-nephew Alexander Belyansky; great-niece Liza Koltsova and great-nephew Ilya Koltsov.
