Poetic Obituaries: Passionate about literature and poetry,

Jack [Antreassian] continued to write even as he entered a long and distinguished career of public service in the Armenian community. He apprenticed at the Armenian Mirror-Spectator (to which he returned a few times later as editor) under the fatherly and cherished tutelage of Bedros Norehad. He later served as executive director of the AGBU at its East 40th Street headquarters in New York, where he launched an ambitious Armenian cultural program of art exhibits, concerts, and classes.

from Armenian Reporter: Jack Antreassian, 89, was executive director of AGBU and Eastern Diocese
