Gus George Floros

“Gus” G. Floros, born on May 25th, 1928 in Sigrello, Greece passed on March 27th, 2020 in his home in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Gus grew up in a small town in the mountains of Greece from modest means and worked on farms from a young age. He enlisted in the Greek army at age 20 and after 3 years in the army, he left honorably with 2 stripes, which allowed him to come to the United States and work for his great uncle at Jess’ Lunch. He worked tirelessly as he saved enough to eventually purchase the building and make Jess’ Lunch what the town of Harrisonburg knows today.

Gus was a member of the Greek Orthodox Church in Charlottesville and proud member of the Harrisonburg community where he raised a family.

Gus was preceded in death by his wife, Eva Floros, his sons, George and John Floros and a nephew, Billy Kostis. Gus is survived by his grandchildren Connor G. Floros, Kostas G. Floros, and John Kohl Floros, his daughters-in-law, Cynthia Floros and Angeliki Floros, his sister, Maria Kostis, nephews George Kostis, Jimmy Kostis, Billy Pappas, Bill Papaioannou and John Papaioannou and a number of great-nephews and great-nieces. Gus was a beloved member of the Harrisonburg community and respected business man as he encapsulated the American dream in every way.
