1927-2020
On Sunday, July 5, 2020, Dimitrios Chronis, loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 93.
Dimitrios was born on June 12, 1927 in Mystra, Greece to the late Peter Chronis and Dimitra (Roumeliotis) Chronis. Being the eldest of five siblings, Dimitrios adopted a father figure role to his brothers and sister. On September 13, 1959, he married Helen (Kolovos) Chronis. They raised two daughters, Dimitra and Metaxia.
After moving to Canada in 1966, Dimitrios worked in several factories where he became fluent in Italian. Dimitrios was a pious man who attended his Greek Orthodox Church regularly. He enjoyed eating ɣλυκά and hard candies, drinking a glass of red wine, and watching 'Wheel of Fortune,' 'Family Feud' and his favourite comedian, Χαζίxρίστος. He was also an enthusiastic fan of wrestling. Although he was a man of few words, Dimitrios was known for his quick wit, his contagious laugh, and his kind and compassionate spirit.
Dimitrios Chronis will be deeply missed by his wife, Helen, two daughters, Dimitra and Metaxia, six grandchildren, Georgea, Sophia, Dimitri, Eleni, Constantina and Yanni, and numerous nephews, nieces and friends. A funeral service will be held on Friday, July 10, 2020 at St. John’s Church on 1385 Warden Avenue. Flowers may be sent to 1939 Lawrence Avenue East.
