Father, you will never be forgotten I think of you often. Your friend from Saint Demetrios Chicago Michael Brown ( Bratsolias) 1950's and 1960's

Please accept our deepest condolences. My brothers Ralph, George and I were blessed with the privilege to serve on the altar for Father Ev when he was our priest at St. John the Baptist in Anaheim, California. He was so kind and patient with us.  May his memory be eternal.

Fr Ev always spoke clearly and to the point, to bring us closer to Christ. He lived his faith to the end. A very special person and disciple of the Lord. May his memory be eternal.

Our sincere sympathy to the Constantinides family.  We were very sad to hear of his passing.  Fr. Ev will always be remembered for his many accomplishments for the Orthodox Church and especially for Sts. Constantine and Helen in the Gary/Merrillville communities. He was a very compassionate, unique priest and person.  We will always remember our pilgrimage we took twice with Fr Ev. and we enjoyed and learned so much from him while attending Bible Study and his lectures.  May his memory be eternal.

Memory Eternal to a most compassionate priest and great person-You will be missed by many. Deepest Sympathy to your children and grandchildren and all who came in your path and you helped as you helped me.  Rest in everlasting peace Father EV.

Fr. Ev and the Merrillville church will always be remembered.
May his memory be eternal.

May his memory be eternal! I've used and benefited from his liturgical translations--a great work and service to the Church. I've also been inspired by his tireless energy and enthusiasm. God grant him eternal rest among His saints!

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Father Evagoras. He really helped me in my time of need in September 2011, when my daughter announced to us that she was leaving for the monastery, in Pleasant Prairie, WI. The circumstances surronding her decision was shocking and a complete surprise.  I called Father and explained in detail what had happened and he was very compassionate as was the presbytera.  For this reason, I will never forget his kind words and of course I knew of his many great accomplishments in the Orthodox church.  May his MEMORY BE EVER ETERNAL. He will be greatly missed.

Our Deepest Sympathy to the CONSTANTINIDES Family. He was always there for everyone who needed him. He will be greatly missed. May +Father Ev's Memory BE Eternal.

My deepest sympathy to all in +Father Ev's family - He was a rare man-priest.He had the tremendous ability to reach out to all peoples and a true Orthodox theologian. We are certainly blessed to have had him in our midst for so many years. May +Father Ev's Memory be Eternal! Yvonne Galich, St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church, Merrillville, Indiana
