George Koutroubis Obituary

GEORGE KOUTROUBIS It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of George Koutroubis, loving husband, beloved son, dearest brother and precious friend. A successful entrepreneur, astute business partner and highly respected individual. A true gentleman, irreplaceable friend and an incredibly generous and warm-hearted human being, George will be sadly missed. George seized life with unabashed zeal - drinking from its overflowing cup with laughter, joy and true sincerity. He was the first man to thank you, to congratulate you, to help you - and a man you could always count on. He was a loving and respectful son who adored his parents. He was a brother who would give the world to his older brother. He was a devoted husband who cherished his new wife. He was a friend whose free-spirited nature and boyish charm will always be remembered through the fond memories created over the years. Eternally loved and remembered by his family and friends. Visitation will be held at HERITAGE FUNERAL CENTRE, 50 Overlea Blvd., 416-423-1000, on Saturday February 28th from 4-8 p.m. and on Sunday March 1st from 4-8 p.m. A funeral service will be held on Monday March 2nd at 10 a.m. at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, 30 Thorncliffe Park Drive. Online condolences may be given at www.heritagefuneralcentre.ca.

Even though we never had the privilege to meet George, hearing many great things about George through his brother Bill, said it all. When we heard of George's death it was a state of shock and disbelief. George will always be remembered in everyone's hearts - never to be forgotten. May God give the Koutroubis Family and his wife Rhoda great strength and comfort through this very difficult time. You will definitely be missed by many friends and family. May God Bless you George and may you rest in peace.
