Michael Halebian Sr., who helped build the well-respected East Coast distributor bearing his name, passed away earlier this month at the age of 90.
Born in New York City, he grew up in the Bronx and graduated from the High School of Commerce. After high school, Halebian was employed by the Norden Co., manufacturer of the Norden bombsight, until enlisting in the U.S. Army during World War II, where he served in Europe and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
