Stratos "Papoo" & Shirley "Yia Yia" Coulourianos

Stratos Coulourianos of Clovis, CA went to be with our Heavenly Father on Monday, September 7, 2015. He was a loving husband, father and "papoo". Stratos was born on September 28, 1929, in Akron, OH. In his 85 years, he had accomplished three careers, United States Air Force, 20 years where he earned his black belt in Judo and several medals and ribbons; Gallo Winery for 20 years; and assistant manager at The Woods Mobile Park. He was well liked, loved and appreciated by many. His smile lit up the room and he loved to joke around. His greatest joys were Greek dancing with his grandchildren, great-grandchildren and then spoil them with candy. Papoo always said, "Eat up its good for you!" He was the paramount husband, father, and papoo anyone could ever dream of sharing a life with. We love and miss you so much! He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Shirley Coulourianos; two sons, Paul and wife Julie of Kerman, Mark and his wife Shirley of North Carolina; three "#1" daughters, Deborah and husband Rolla of South Carolina, April and husband David of Fresno, and Maryann and husband Daniel of Fresno; seven grandchildren and one grandson-in-law, Ashley, Jordan, Alysha, Rachel, Amy, Mark Jr., April and Jasen; three great-grandchildren; nephews; nieces; and his in-law, Robert Bane, also known as "partner in crime".
