Public memorial to honor Larry Zarian to be held in Glendale

PanARMENIAN.Net - A public memorial honoring former Glendale Mayor Larry Zarian, who died of cancer Oct. 13 at the age of 73, has been scheduled for Monday at the Alex Theatre in downtown.

Glendale News-Press reports that the "Celebration of Life" event - hosted by the city, Glendale Arts and Glendale Adventist Medical Center, where Zarian was a board member - will honor the man known as "The People's Mayor" and his years of public service.

Zarian, the first Armenian American elected to Glendale City Council, was also a director for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and served as a state transportation commissioner.

Later this month, city officials will officially rename the Glendale Transportation Center the "Larry Zarian Transportation Center."
