Not sure what to say?

I worked with George as a counselor. He was one of the best human beings I have ever had the pleasure to encounter. I could only hope that some of his qualities rubbed off on me. If you went to lunch with George as a friend and or coworker he always insisted on picking up the tab. He considered it to be an insult if one refused his gift and generosity. The world was made a better place for many due to his presence.

A great teacher very dear to my heart. He cared about each and every one of u-class of 1964 West High. He encouraged us and gave us our wings to fly. One of the best of the best.
RIP

Heartfelt condolences to Mrs Stelioes and Anne, he was a kind and gentle man. Hugs and prayers sent.

Hugs of comfort to Mrs. Stelioes and Anne Francis. Mr. and Mrs. Stelioes also taught for one year in Shageluk, Alaska in the early 1980s. He and his wife and daughter are fondly remembered. We loved it that he taught our kids wrestling and was such a good teacher in all areas.

Mr. Stelioes was a great teacher, very inspiring. I was his student at Romig. Deb Giza

Sorry for your loss, I had him as a teacher at Clark. He was a good teacher.

While a PE class at West High might involve acknowledgement that varsity athletes were human but the rest of us were not, I was always relieved when Coach Stelioes was in charge, as he encouraged everyone to try their best and felt no need to belittle those of us who were not stars in any given activity or sport. He is one of four coaches I have encountered in my lifetime who were excellent in their skills and humane in their approach to students. Bless his memory!

George Stelioes was a positive influence in my life at Romig Junior High School, 1967-1969. I've often wondered what became of him. Now I know he's been busy doing just that all of these years since. RIP Coach.

Vi, condolences on your loss. George was a great impact on my life. A lot of us youngsters from the 60s can say that and mean it deeply and sincerely. The two of you were a great team and I thank you for your time, interest and concern.
