Christos John Lillios

Chris was born in Concord, the son of the late John and Madeline Lillios.

He grew up on 42 Concord Street and attended Rumford School, Parker School and Rundlett Jr. High School and graduated from Concord High, as class of 1956. He then joined the US Navy and served 4 years as a E5 second class aviation hydraulic/metal-smith.

Upon leaving the service, he attended New Hampshire Technical Institute to study Commercial Art. Upon graduation, he then had a long career as a Staff Artist for American Knitwear then Capital Offset, Rumford Press, Village Press, Northern Telecom and DiBenedetto Associates in N. Andover, MA.

Chris loved archery and was a State & New England Champion until his wife Barbara introduced him to golf and he fell in love with that great game (that he claimed he was never that good at it, but loved it no less). Chris was a proud member of Beaver Meadow (known as The Beav) which he thought was the best golf course in N.H. His many friends at The Beav arguably thought he was “the best putter bar none!”

He is survived by his loving wife Barbara of 55 years and sister Pauline Stavro of Franklin NH, niece Madelyn Coffin-Kritlow of Franklin N.H., and nephew Richard Stavro of Woburn, MA.

A visiting hour will be held on Thursday from 10am to 11am with a Funeral Service following immediately at 11am at the Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, 68 North State Street, Concord. The committal with Naval honors will follow at 2:30pm at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Highway in Boscawen.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Bennett Funeral Home of Concord.
