The Nerses’ heartbroken family have said, ‘It is with great sadness we share the passing of Nerses Kishmishian 9/2/1946 – 17/10/2023

After a short illness, Nerses passed away peacefully. The family are coming to terms with a great loss and ask for consideration at this time.

The family would like to thank the NHS for the care and attention given to Nerses, especially Doctors, Nurses and Staff on AED, Ward 18 and Ward 15b.

Nerses’s final wishes were that his son Berj Kishmishian would carry on his legacy through the operation of The Armenian Kebab House, 29 Harrowside, Blackpool.

The shop will re-open on Friday 20th October 2023. As a sign of respect the shop will remain closed on Tuesdays indefinitely.
