Chris ALEXOPOULOS Obituary

Born in Kastoria, Greece, in 1936. Died suddenly on September 27, 2024, at home in Mississauga. Chris lost both parents at age of eight and was grateful to be raised by his paternal grandmother, Katerina and his father's siblings, Xanthippe and George. He came to Canada in 1957, to further his education and was proud to receive a PhD in engineering from the University of Toronto. He taught math, physics, and computer science for 35 years at Ryerson (TMU). He loved spending time at the cottage he built, hosting guests, classical music, online trading, repairing things, travel (especially to Greece to visit family and friends), and corduroy pants. He disliked spicy foods, fiction, formalities, and paying for parking. Chris is survived by his wife of 62 years, Carol, and daughters Karen (Steve) and Jennifer. His family will receive relatives and friends on Wednesday, October 2nd 4-8 p.m., at Turner & Porter funeral home, 1981 Dundas Street W., Mississauga. A celebration of life will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association or Credit Valley Hospital.

Chris has been an indelible presence during my entire life. I remember him fondly during holiday celebrations and family dinners. He would love to laugh and was always very kind to everyone. At the cottage, that he loved, he would always be seated on his balcony dressed in his buttoned-up, Fred McMurray-like brown cardigan, reading his newspaper. The cottage won't be the same without him. His presence will always be felt and he will be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to Carol, Karen, Jennifer and Steve.

It was an honour and a privilege to be the family physician for such a good hearted, intelligent, appreciative man. My condolences to Karen and the rest of the family. (Perfect obituary, by the way).
