Spiros was a great friend to our family for many years. He was always extremely kind to me and always listens and empathize for my medical needs. He also visited me a few times at my restaurant because he just likes to talk about business. I had lots of respect for him and will always have fond memories. May his memory be eternal

Dear Kiki and family,
I just heard about your husband’s and father’s passing and was greatly saddened. I feel a great loss in my heart.

Angeliki, please accept and extend to your family our deepest sympathy. We knew Spiros as a childhood friend while students at Agassiz Elementary School in Chicago. Even then, he worked in his father's grocery store and attended St. George Church on Sheffield. We were classmates throughout high school at Lane Tech, but lost touch after graduation. Much later I happened to see his name on a doctor's office shingle on Lincoln Avenue. I stopped in, and we had a great time renewing our friendship. We we saddened by this sudden news of his passing.
