Byron Vrasidas Patrikakos was born on January 20, 1936 in Piraeus, Greece. He left Greece for the U.S. at age 19, arriving in New York in June 1955, carrying only a single bag and love for his country.
He was a man of many trades and talents, with a special love for restaurants and endless pride in his Greek heritage.
Byron was a people person and would often enjoy spending his day at a coffee shop (kafenio) chatting up anyone who would listen. He always had a smile on his face.
He passed away on October 17, 2018. He is survived by his daughter, Kelly, and his grandchildren, Danielle, Colin, and Michelle, all of whom he loved very much and will miss him greatly.
