I was Ion's hairdresser and friend for 27 years. I met him when he was in an acting glass with my boyfriend at the time.  He was a part of my life every month or so... a part of my routine. I went to his apt. to cut his hair in the last few years.  He loved his cat (most people don't know he was a real animal lover).  I will dearly miss him and his good and wise counsel on matters of the heart.  We also worked out at the same gym for all these years.  I found out he was referred to as "God" by a girl who had a crush on him because he was so gorgeous (she never knew his name).... I was devastated to hear you left us my friend.

Ion was my downstairs neighbor and I am good friends with his mother. Ion on top of being so good looking was so sweet and humble. We will miss and love you so.


In 1986-87, we became friends when I asked him to be in my WWII film. Ion was intense about creative matters (acting as well as stunts and finally photography) and always was attracted to issues reflecting human rights.

His humor was rather a touch of darkness with a ray of hopeful light. 

Always Ion had a mischievous smile at the end of every prank or joke he was making.

Ion and I did scene study together as actors and it was during these sessions that we learned how different we were yet how funny that was.

He was a great lifeguard! I will stand by that as a fact. But, moreover, Ion Hartunian was a dedicated artistic photographer.

Because I believe death is but a doorway, his friendly humor, advise and scoldings will always be with me like the spirit of a living friend who lives on..."

Best wishes to all, Bruce Morgan
