George left his village at the age of nine to go to Athens and, in 1959 he went to Germany to work as a welder.

While he was there he met Barbara and they got engaged. In 1963 they decided to come to Canada to build a better life together. The couple got married at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Vancouver in 1964, having two children thereafter.

George lived his life to the fullest until he became sick with Alzheimer’s in 2015 and passed away peacefully on January 8th, 2026.

My family and I would like to thank all the staff members and the doctors at Three Links care home. They were loving, caring and attentive to my father and to all of us.

Remember by Christina Rosetti

Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.
