Even though English was his second language, he worked hard earning a degree in Mathematics. He loved numbers almost as much as he loved talking about his family. And as a naturalized US citizen, he loved this country. If you had the chance to meet this husband, dad (father-in-law), brother (brother-in-law), theo, papou, friend, then you probably have some story to share about how kind, funny, brave, or strong he was.
There’s a lot of you out there who knew Alex. If you never had the opportunity to meet him in person, you missed out. But don’t despair, you probably met someone he inspired through his Greek Orthodox faith- which made you believe a little bit more. Or, you may have met someone that taught you something new- because he helped them by contributing to scholarship funds. You may have even met someone that felt a little less lonely because he acknowledged them with a smile or a handshake. Or perhaps you heard the words “Thank You!” yelled at you from Alex, after you called him the “Worlds Worst Driver” as you passed him on the road- which either perplexed you or made you laugh.
The memories of Alex will continue to bring joy to his wife Christine, son Plato and his wife Tassa, daughter Anna and her husband Greg and their son Levi, plus his family members throughout the world. He was a devoted member of Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in Clearwater and a proud member of AHEPA.
To honor his memory, do something kind for a stranger, be a little braver than you think you are, make someone laugh, or take your time to say a prayer slowly. Let’s save the flowers for a celebration of life late this year.
To continue his legacy donations can be made to AHEPA Chapter #356 Scholarship Fund or the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church (in Clearwater) Capital Campaign Fund.
