Panagiotis "Peter" Michalopoulos

Passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, September 25th in his 96th year. He is finally reunited with his soul mate and the love of his life Vasiliki (Vasio). Beloved father of Chris (Olga) and Louis (Elizabeth). Loving grandfather "Pappou" to Peter (Amanda), George (Cheryl) and Vasilios. Cherished great-grandfather "Pappouli" to Brianna, Hayden, Owen and Brody. Dear godfather "Nono" to Eleni (Blanas) Mihailovich and Joanne Papadopoulos. He will be profoundly missed by his sister Vicky (Davilis) and sister-in-law Mary (Michalopoulos), as well as his many nieces and nephews, extended family, koumbaroi and friends. Peter was a long time parishioner and council member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Hamilton. He loved his Church and was a fixture at the candles every Sunday, as well as the head chef in the kitchen downstairs for many, many years. He is also fondly remembered by the staff, as well as the many customers and friends that frequented the Cosy Restaurant for the 38 years that he ran the business, both as a partner with his two brothers and brother-in-law in the earlier years after he arrived in Canada with his family in 1963, and later, as sole owner along with his sons. A special thank you to the staff at Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital for the exceptional care and compassion shown to Peter and his family for the 5 weeks he was there, and also a special thank you to the Nurses and PSW's from Bayshore and ParaMed Health (Healing Hearts) that cared for him at his home this last month.
