Entered God’s loving arms on August 20, 2018, at age 83. Beloved husband of Alexandria. Father of Louie, Dennis and Peter. Grandfather of 5 and great-grandfather of 5, also survived by his sisters, additional family and many friends.
He was a witty man of few words and had a generous heart. He took chances and was resourceful. With hard work and sacrifice, he pursued a better life for his family. His journey took him and his family from Greece, to Canada, and eventually the U.S. Without speaking English and with very little money, he began his lifelong career as an entrepreneur. He was the definition of achieving the “American Dream.” He loved to tell people what to do and how to do it. HIS way was the RIGHT way. Papa Gus will be truly missed by many.
