Our beloved Gus – loving husband, dedicated father, and adoring grandfather – passed away peacefully on November 26, 2019 surrounded by his family.
Gus arrived in Canada on his own from Greece in 1961. He worked tirelessly and helped support his family back home. He married Shirley, the love of his life, in 1984 and together they created a beautiful life. Gus was a genuine family man through and through. His greatest pride was raising his four children and his brightest joy came from spending time with his family. He loved having everyone together, sharing in laughter. He was a great storyteller and avid gardener. Last year he became a proud grandfather to his precious granddaughter Amara.
Gus was predeceased by his parents George and Panayiota and his sister Maria. He will be dearly missed by his wife Shirley, his sons George (Saumya and Amara), Dimitrios, and David (Christina), his daughter Larissa, his brother Alekos, his sisters Anna and Eleni, and numerous extended family members.
