Pete John Maroudas

August 28, 2021, surrounded by friends and family. He was born in Zakynthos, Greece

to Ioannis and Anastasia Maroudas. He had 6 siblings, Paraskevi, Maria, Eleni,

Mavrodis, Dionysios and Veroniki. He came to the United States where he met and

married his wife of 49 years, Josephine who preceded him in death, July 2008. He

worked in the restaurant industry for 65 years owning numerous restaurants, with

his pride and joy being the Longhouse Restaurant in Gilroy, California which he has

owned with his nephew Danny Maroudas for the last 45 years. He could not stand

to see someone suffering or in need without trying to help.

He is survived by one sister, Maria Maroudas: four daughters, Tasia Simmons and her

husband Larry Simmons, Marie Hofland and her husband D. Hofland, Angela Maroudas,

Diane Davis and her husband Chris Davis; four grandchildren, Alyssa Simmons,

Jennifer Simmons, Ashley Davis, Nicholas Davis and many more relatives and friends

in both the United States and Greece.

The family is indebted to Pete’s support team at Heartland Hospice and his caregivers

from NexGen.
