Rick and Jane Saliture left a message on December 1, 2020:
This is such sad news. The only time that Rick and I met Evangelos was at the wedding of Victoria and Alan. It was apparent that Evangelos was a sweet, old-fashioned father and husband. We know that he will be missed by all. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
