Our beloved husband, father and grandfather Nicholas was born in Athens, Greece to parents Alexander and Isabelle Pamphilis. Both of his parents were born on the Island of Ikaria, Greece. Isabelle migrated to Detroit to join her husband with her son and daughter when they were 15 and 13 years old respectively. Nicholas attended Cass Tech High School, The University of Detroit, and finished with his PhD in Organic Chemistry at Wayne State University.
He Married Aphrodite Barocci in Athens, Greece on August 7, 1955. They had two children, Iris Isabelle and Alexander Nicholas in Alton, Illinois. Eventually they moved to Michigan where they raised their family. Nicholas retired from his career in research and development at General Motors in 1998. He lived with his loving wife in Clarkston, Michigan for 27 wonderful years in his dream home.
In addition to his wife Aphrodite, he is survived by daughter Iris Isabelle Haines and spouse Anthony Haines; son Alexander Nicholas Pamphilis and spouse Genet Pamphilis. Grandchildren Dimitri S. Roumanis, Aphrodite and spouse Dino Pappas, and Nicole, Christina, and Andrew Pamphilis; and sister Joanne Pamphilis-Demetral.
